Chinook is open at Beecher Bay? Where do I find that information!

Go to area 20, hit the salmon tab and scroll down. Then look at the map. Creke point to southern tip of Fraser Island only. GPS coords also on salmon tab AFAIK

I only see mention of Beecher Bay under restrictions in the salmon tab. Are you sure you are reading it right? My understanding is the restrictions information comes in to play once the area is opened to Chinook.

agree with you BBlue .. Beacher Bay comes into play once area 20 opens for chinook as per species regulations , and then it is 1 based on restrictions - 1 hatchery, 0 wild

Becher Bay is open for 1 hatchery as has been the case for the past few years from April 1 to August 1 and outside of those dates it’s the regular area 20 regs. Creike Pt to the southern tip of Fraser Island. Area 19 closes Chinook tomorrow until Aug 1 most likely.

Okay. They sure don’t make it clear on the DFO website. That’s why I thought I would check here to find out what’s what. Thanks everyone for responding.

I find this app pretty handy for up to date regs.

Out off of Pedder today. A couple of dogs, a big skate, released a Hali around 108cm at 10am (best guess with my measuring stick but definitely an over) and then landed a 101cm at 10:30am. Salmon belly and mackerel. Two crab pots out but when I pulled them both were totally covered with big leafy kelp. Only one keeper crab. Nice morning on the water.
