This was the scene down at French Creek Marina this afternoon. I watched as this boat approached the ramp to leave the harbour when he carved a donut and sped out to exit the harbour. I noticed that there was a Fisheries Officer at the top of the ramp checking people as they were coming and going. Shortly after, this boat was escorted in by the RCMP boat... things were about to get interesting. It turns out that this guy had 8 Chinooks on board and only two people in the boat. Well, he lost his downriggers, fishing rods, tackle, and salmon for sure. interestingly, his fishing buddy left with 2 of the Chinooks? I don't know what kind of fines he will face, but I hope they are hefty. The guy has a bit of a reputation for this, and is quite ignorant too. To top it all off he's a retired RCMP. I wouldn't call that a respectful "Fishin' Time".
