I think it was just the line "large freezer" that scared em then he didn't realize what a ***** he was being till it was to late. It's really not ok to make fun of you. Merry Xmas
 
Hiroshi in BC Fisheries have regulations about packaging and transporting your catch.They are in place so a fisheries officer can determine how many fish and what species you have.There is also possession limits you should check out before coming up here.

Good post tubber! Thanks for pointing that out! :)

Hiroshi,
you certainly took those comments a "LOT" better than I would have! :( [V]

Just so you and everyone else knows… I CARRY A FREEZER on my boat! In addition, I have several Canadians friends and they also CARRY FREEZERS! And I have seen a lot of 7-8 foot freezers at both Canadian and U.S. campsites! Which, by- the- way are mostly full of “OUR” Yankee fish! Your thought with the freezer is absolutely correct!

Just make sure you stay within regulations. I am happy to give you some insight and advice! To start, I have had some type of freezer on my boat since 1997. Some big, some small and for several weeks at a time. Tied down and mounted "securely" in my aft cockpit and in plain view! Since 1997, there has not been one Canadian or U.S. official ever open any of my freezers. Freezers get inspected often at ferry terminals, but seldom on boats.

If you look in the regs you will find how DFO recommends transporting your catch, you should abide by that? You do need to remember since the freezer will be on your boat, do not attempt or put the fish in the freezer to soon, it could ruin the meat? The other thing since you are going to be to Campbell River area, when you do limit don’t worry! Get in touch with Northwest Sea Planes in Renton. They have scheduled flights in that area and will arrange to fly your freezer full fish out. They also have a freezer storage facility across the street from their main office. They will be glad to transport and setup storage until you get back… and then you can go catch another limit! In addition, you can continue to do that until you have reached your annual limit! Just so you know the daily or possession limits for “all” licensed anglers cannot be exceeded while the fish are in your control and in Canada. Once that plane or fish crosses the border into the USA - it is out of Canadian law, regulations and jurisdiction… and you are free to fish!

I don’t see a problem with anyone asking for advice or help, regardless of Nationality, Race, or Creed, especially when that someone is not only interested in the take, but is actively supporting the fishery?

In case a couple of people do not know, the delete button is the last one on the right! [V]
 
It appears to me that Mr. Hiroshi would be one of the last guys that needs a lecture or challenge on fishing ethics or sustainability.

Merry Chritmas
 
Hey Charlie chances are pretty good that the ling cod from Sonora arent "YOUR" fish. I would be a little concerned about overfishing these fish in the Sonora area which are just beginning to recover from almost extinction. I know for a fact the Lodges up in the Sonora area are not promoting the Ling Cod fishery hoping the stocks will recover!! I know for the past couple yrs the Salmon Fishery in the area has been dismal at best. Which coincides with the dismal returns for our local rivers here on the Island not "YOUR" fish. Cowichan, etc. The Cowichan was so bad this yr who knows there might be some new rules this yr for the inside. I know you do your homework Charlie and I appreciate your opinion but it disgusts me that you would talk about shipping freezers back home and then starting all over again from scratch? Ive heard stories of this happening such as guys up here camping with there canners,smokers etc but never really heard it straight from the horses mouth. Makes you wonder whats happening with our stocks. YOURS are 20 miles offshore on the West Coast not always accesible to the average Island Sports fisherman with a 16 fter.

The ideal behind possession limits was to stop guys from setting up fish camps, that is why it is illegal to can fish outside your residence.But I guess there is always a way around this if you have the time and money to fly your fish out and then start all over again like Charlie states.
 
So, I am a little confused? You have a problem with "him" putting a freezer on his boat to preserve his catch? But, it would be okay if he was "local" and "white"? Yep, I think I have a problem with your thought process... what the hell are you thinking? [V]

And, then you start talking about "your ling cod? That he has all ready stated, isn't his target? All he is doing is asking for ideas to "preserve" his catch?

I have probably done more and spent more to preverve "your" wild salmon in the last year than you have done your entire life? Just curious? How much did you donate in time and money this past year?

And, if you think, The ideal behind possession limits was to stop guys from setting up fish camps, that is why it is illegal to can fish outside your residence"? Hello!

Here, let me help you out?

quote:Hello fellow Canadian fisherman, I have posted this on another site but, I'm always looking for help. I fish for Salmon and I believe I need to give back if I expect to see this fisheries last. I donate to a group called."Long live the Kings" here in the states but, I do fish Canadian water on the coast every year and I belive I need to also invest in my sport where I fish. I am asking for your recommendations on who are a good fish conservation group that I may donate to that isn't political. I love going to Canada to fish and the people I meet up north of me. I want to be able to come back over and over again so, I want to invest in your fisheries. Any recommendation would be appreciated.....Thanks

quote:Well, I made a donation to both PSF and Robertson Creek Hatchery. The thing I don't like about PSF is they are so large that they have a tendency to waste alittle money like paying Canada Helps to collect the donation which cost. I don't have big pockets so I like to have a much of my donations go directly to Salmon recovery. Might have to cut back on the donations alittle but, I think I'm going to make this a yearly thing. Thanks for letting me fish in Canada, most canadian fisherman are pretty neat guys.

quote:Since I plan to stay a week or better. To keep my catch in tip top shape, I wanted to process my catch, vacuum pack them and freeze them. This way, they are in the best condition I can ask for when I have them for a meal. I'm a strong believer in sustainable fishing. I don't keep Lings over 20lbs because they are females and halibut over 50lbs because of the same. Even though I'm from the states, I donation to the local fisheries for future days of fishing.
It's O.K. to make fun of me because I can laugh at myself also. That's what makes life fun. Wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Lets go enjoy the water critters out there.
 
Another reason why chinook annual limits should be lowered regardless if you are a Canadian resident or not.
 
Where doesnt it mention anything here about Race? I dont care what Race anyone is why are you refering to me as White that is racist is it not?
If you notice in his post he is going to be targeting Ling Cod just not over 20lbs. I did not mention having a problem with him having a freezer on his boat I again said I was disgusted with your suggestion of shipping his full freezer back to the States and continuing fishing.and dont email me with threats again.

Charlies words in an email

"take it with someone else, but don't "you" dare bring his "race" into this..."

"Forthly, I have seen more "Canucks" with those "BIG" freezers than "Yanks"?"

WHERE IN ANY OF MY POSTS HAVE I MENTIONED RACE OR QUOTE "Yanks"

You think those comments aren’t uncalled for and not racist?

Let’s start here with my comment?

That comment was referring to the above statements and I believe that to be a correct statement! I don’t believe there was any mention of Cowichan? Or the Cowichan River? What are you thinking Butte is 150 miles from there? Are you just throwing crap? Where does the Cowichan come into play? Most of those fish migrate down through the Strait from Port Hardy? Concerning the Sonora area? Tell him… not me! I quit fishing that area years ago for those very reasons. That whole area has been a little sparse since the mid 90’s. However, do not try to tell anyone those guides and lodges in that area aren’t promoting fishing, as I believe and know they are. Referring to you as “white”? I did not refer to YOU as anything… nor do I care what you are! Hey, but if the shoe fits? Furthermore, YOU need to learn to read! I don’t believe I ever made a threat, nor do I make threats! If so, I will apologize for that? Maybe I made strong statement, you mistook as a threat? If so,
