Anybody know where to buy a case of Carlyle Tuna in the Vancouver area?

I've never noticed any difference using carlyle's compared with Friskies (or whatever is on sale) whitefish/salmon/tuna. Even used a few cans of liver flavour by mistake once and did well. Anything down there that smells dead and organic will get eaten, especially if you're mixing it with pellets, and soaking with some fishy oil.

London Drug's generic brand of tuna cat food has the identical country of origin, analysis, can and even coding. It's even cheaper.

I used to just throw it in the freezer, and use it the following weekend. I thinks it's ok for a short freeze, but if i didn't get back out right away, i'd toss it and start fresh. I was living in C.R. then, and farm fish pellets were easy to come by. Having said that.......... I just moved down to Sidney from Campbell River last summer, and have found a decent crab whole, a few bottom sandy spots for hali's, i think ive got the winter spring going on, but still wondering about where is the best place for prawns. Now i don't expect any one to just openly tell me where their best spots are, but i was thinking of setting off Moses point in 18, and up thru satelite channel. Any suggestions or input would be appreciated.
does the inside get real busy when that pulse fishin is in place.

OK, maybe a dumb question from a prawn newbie...
Lots of interesting bait alternatives here. What about just using fish carcasses and parts, like for a crab trap? I would think that's what they eat naturally, so wouldn't that be ideal bait?

they would strip it clean very quickly and the trap would
would stop fishing.
the pellets in a canister smell stronger, are better attractant
and last longer.

you can buy tuna shavings from blue water bait, I think it comes in 35 pound boxes it works well but fishes quite fast

Sticky--the inlet is a good place to start. It does get hit with the commercial opening but there is still good prawning afterward. I fish it in April and get enough for my needs for the year but i do know guys who fish it into the fall and do really well. Good luck on your new stomping grounds--it's always fun figuring out a new area.
