Things to know if you are going to fish in area 14-13 in June 2009
Don’t fish from Kitty launch to one mile out, then following the shoreline to the Powell River ferry dock. These springs are the summer run Puntledge. Not many left and seals are hitting them hard. DFO has marked it as non-retention June 1 to June 30.
Don’t fish too close (1.50Nm radius) to Sentry Shoals marker buoy. Here again DFO has non-retention within theses dates.
RCA around Mitlenatch Island.

Unmarked Coho must be released.
June 1-Dec 31 Two fin clipped over 30cm maybe retained. (Don’t forget to turn in the heads.)
There are numerous other non-retention areas near Comox Harbour, best to look them up before you wet a line over there.

Great fishing over the weekend.
Lot's of hits and most boats are getting 1 or 2.
There is 3 or 4 bite times thru the day.
Just have to be there with your gear in the water at the right time.
It' not hard to tell when and where.
Look for the nets flying in the air.
Lot's of gear working but depth seems to be key.
Fish in 180 to 230 feet of water. 160 to 180 on the DR.
If you get rock fish your to deep.
Some mud sharks are showing up this past 2 days.
I don't know what it will do for the fishing, will see.
Fish size has been high teens to mid twenty's.
Heard of a few large but I have not seen any.
Guys are tell me it like the 1970's again.
