Fishing boundaries

[Tinchucker]

Hello , but not to the tour boat captains that dont slow down and swamp small boats. I wish i had torpedos. Anyways… so i got myself a new hewes 160 this year and have been touring the salt and loving it . Im a fly tosser in lakes for ever and im now trying to deal with these stupid regs. Few questions …
Are there gps coords to mark corners of fishing boundaries? I had a great weekend fishing and brought home a nice coho and a pink. Looking at the dfo map and my sounder chart, where i caught my fish just outside of sandheads. Im not entirely sure i was in 29-3 . Not to mention im a river salmon fisherman and identifying the catch is quite different in the salt. But ill get that sorted quick. Im sure our lovely liberal government has closed these zones so they can profit off selling commercial fisheries. Every time ive been out at the edge sand heads for the past 3 weeks my sounder just showed endless fish. I mean zero gaps in the screen for 15-20 min of trolling. Id like to be confident in where im fishing but i cant find coords. The dfo map and my chart are far from the same. I do want to reiterate how stupid these regs are. I just see the government punishing the little guy so it can sell to the money guy. Looks like we get punished for what big money destroys. But ill not go there . Thanks in advance of any help

I dialled this in years ago, not sure where but I found the GPS coordinates on the DFO site somewhere.
See pic, basically the line of 29-3 is right on the line of Sandheads to the end of the North Arm jetty. The T10 buoy is slightly inside 29-3 zone.

Basically stay out of the shallows, outside of the drop off, and you’re good.

There is a Southern Resident Killer Whale exclusion zone in 29-3 between T10 and Point Grey light that you must avoid as fishing there is forbidden. I avoid it by not fishing north of T10 buoy. I suggest you check the regs for this.

Last year someone posted a really useful map on this site that we could print. I used it a lot. Can we get an update for this year, please?
