Bella Coola to Shearwater

[Dogbreath]

No fuel at Ocean Falls. Never has been as far as I know.

Not in this century anyway.

 

[Rockin Johnny]

Already fueled up in Klemto and now back at Cheney. No fuel at Ocean Falls. Never has been as far as I know.

Did you do any fishing while you were up there?

I only edited it cause a few people mentioned I shouldn't put what I kept on a public forum. Im pretty new to this forum i can now see why. We never kept over our limit.

You kept over your posession limit when you went home. People here are trying to help you not do illegal things in the future.

If you read through the comments you can see there was 3 adults and a 6 year old. We all had a license (4). We kept 32 salmon. No more than 16 chinook. As I understood the rules we were exactly at our limit. Unless I'm missing something. If I am please explain to me what I am missing. Thanks

Before you edited your original post, you kept 33 salmon for 3 guys. Somebody called you on it but you used the excuse that you were there for 5 days. All the comments seen like they worked as it appears that you now understand how possession limits work.

And to underscore the “we were there for 5 days” thing, (and as was pointed out in an earlier post), it doesn’t matter if you were at Whiskey Cove for 5 days or five weeks. The DFO language clearly states that fish daily limits are based on fish that are in POSSESSION

So if your 6 year old son truly was an active license holder and truly fought and landed his own fish, the total salmon limit for your trip for four (4) active license holders would have been 16 springs and 16 coho (8 salmon TOTAL per each license holder x 4)

In order to justify the “33 salmon” mentioned in your first post, you would have been required to return to your home (residential address, not the Whiskey Cove lodge) and gotten the first salmon limit for the boat and for the 4 active license holders out of your “possession” before resuming fishing again

Or eat one. Or give one away.

On our first trip to the area [1993 in a 16' open boat], we were fishing slack tide at Idol Pt with all the guide boats from Shearwater. When the bite was over we were offered two 10# coho. Turns out their practice was to keep everything caught, then level up between boats, and give away anything over limits. We thought we were really lucky until we got into crazy coho fishing at Koeye River and couldn't begin to keep all the fish that were biting. The picture is from the late 90s at Malcolm Island.

Try using a calculator instead of your fingers and toes. 3 adults and a child. 4 licenses.

You try a calculator. 33 salmon is what you said before the edit and several guys helped you understand possession limits and you added a six year old. Say thank you and move on.

I just posted a quote from my original post. 11 Chinook and 21 Coho. You told me to admit when I was wrong. Turns out you were wrong. Your turn to just admit it. Im done with this ****.

Wow, a bit of humility would go a long way in this situation, Mr. Gumby. There are some good people on this forum trying to help you better understand the regulations for your trip next year, not challenge or berate you for an apparent misunderstanding.

And inquiring minds would love to see a post from your 6 year old son saying how much fun it was hooking and fighting the 8 salmon all on his own as an active license holder on your boat to have justified such a bag limit

There you go. Now can you all STFU. I can't believe I am having to post a picture for my child for you weirdos. I dont have to prove anything. This will be my last post on this group. You guys are something else.

Out of curiosity, what does this stamp on the photo mean?

 

[Sharphooks]

It’s usually added to a photo as short-hand for…… Awkward Incident

You came on this thread on February 24th asking for advice and you've had dozens of helpful suggestions. Try taking these last few as more of the same, instead of getting your knickers in a twist. Let's get back to fishing reports.
