Guess that leaves an open season on Bull Heads!!!

Hey squidy... you can still fish the hump off of Kitty Coleman, it's about 4 or 5 kms off the beach. There's usually some traffic out there to guide you on weekends or evenings at this time of year. eman

Hey Squidy et al,
Careful around Kitty Coleman:

Chinook: Effective June 1 to June 30, 2008 there is non-retention of chinook salmon in those waters, inside a line from 49 46.74'N and 124 59.06'W near the boat launch at Kitty Coleman Provincial Park, thence north-easterly to 49 47.35'N and 124 57.68'W, thence southerly to 49 45.14'N and 124 54.32'W, thence southwest to the navigation light at the Little River Ferry Dock; and those waters of Sentry Shoals within a 1.50Nm radius of the Sentry Shoal Marker Buoy. Listed on 30/05/2008 FN0346
We fished Kitty over the weekend, Sentry Shoal and the shore from Oyster Bay south past Pacific Playground and couldn't get a sniff. Spoke to a few guys and one landed and released an undersize but no other luck. Heard that there was some springs taken south of Oyster Bay along the shore (80-120') but never seen it myself. Talk was green and white or oil slick hoochies behind purple haze flasher...
We fished south of Hornby today for lings, caught 3 undersize and the wifey got one over 65cm
(I know we can take 60cm and over now) and there was a pile of bait all around. We didn't try for salmon but that might be worth a shot. Lots of closures in effect and coming on June 15th so check the regs. Not too long a run out there.
Good luck,
