It'll be nasty and wet but fishable for most. A southeaster not that bad for plumper/deep water, little to no fetch. Gale northwests on the other hand, much more dangerous in that area, especially on the ebb.
wow you can buy licenses all year who waits till day of or day before to buy a fishing license ???? sorry but that's just crazy and then you let them fish anyways and keep their limit? nobody gets on my boat without a license... that's insaneHad a great day on the water as well. Crazy good fishing. One issue: I had guests with me today and they are unable to purchase a tidal license because the DFO link is not working. I called Browns's Bay and the attendant told me the same thing, she is unable to sell fishing licenses because the web site is down. So we only had one license for 3 people on the boat today and kept far more than 4 fish. The fish cops were out today checking boats, but did not check mine. What do you do ? We honestly tried to get purchase 2 more licenses but cannot. As I write this, the link is still down...so we'll have the same issue tomorrow. Has anyone else had this delima ???
You mean the dilemma of allowing poaching on my boat, nope never had as I don't allow it. I guess it was fortuitous you didn't get checked. To me it's like hunting October 10th for whitetail doe opening and showing up on October 10th to buy a whitetail tag and they are sold out or site is down or whatever. So shoot one anyway and tag it when there's a tag to buy. It's poaching regardless of circumstances or best intentions. If you caught a derby winner I wonder if it would have been disqualified due to no licence? Hopefully the site is back up today so you can fish legit. Not trying to make you feel bad, you asked a question and that is my thoughts on it. Chum are fish tooHad a great day on the water as well. Crazy good fishing.

Yeah it is a ****** system but it's what we got to work withIt's pretty standard for once a year fisherman to buy licenses at the last minute, which is entirely their right. I would have done the same as you gearbox Paul. DFO doesn't have an alternative to online purchasing and the link was dead/down. It's on their ****** system, not on him.
