So I used to fish for trout as a kid, and recently decided to start fishing again now that I have my own kids.
I started with some crab traps. Figured it was a really easy way to get something to show the kids, and maybe get some food too.
That quickly led to me wanting to pick up a rod and reel and see what I can haul in. So far, all I've nabbed is a small sculpin.
I dont have a boat, so crab fishing off the dock in Belcarra is my closest location. Well, technically Rocky Point Park is closer, but between the boat launch and super-low water levels there, I figure there isn't much decent fishing to be done...
Basically, I have two big questions right now.
First, Can you catch Salmon from Belcarra? Or is it just a waste of time? If salmon is no good, what do you suggest I should target while there?
Any good saltwater fishing spots near port moody that I haven't thought of?
Second, where can I do some night fishing??? Anywhere I can think of is in a park (Cates park, Rocky Point, Belcarra, Gary Point, Ambleside...) and parks all close at dusk or 9pm. I work late, and I want somewhere to go fishing after work. The closer to Port Moody, the better.
Thanks for any insight, and I look forward to becoming part of this community.
