C'mon I'm pretty sure that was you tied up to the bell buoy jigging with a pink buzz bomb with a monster treble.

I was out last monday, great fishing, are the fish still holding inside the harbour?

OK. So drove right up next to the bell buoy today and marked it's location on my GPS.
49°17.359′N 123°15.960′W = Bell Buoy. So yes it is in 29-3!
Then I drove east to the line where 28-7 starts. It's about 500 feet. So I think we can all say it's pretty safe to fish from the bell buoy east for sox while they are still open

Now for an actual fishing report..lol
I fished the bell and east in the pack for an hour today and picked up one sockeye. I got tired of the weeds and the crowd so I moved over to the north arm and dropped my spring gear.
One line at 55 with anchovie and one at 70-90 with a pink hoochie. No action for about 3 hours except for a couple shakers on the bait line. Then about 5pm the hoochie line went off and I landed a nice 15.5lb white spring. Called it a day after that.
Cheers!

had a great afternoon out in the point grey area for sox this aft. my wife and i picked up an easy limit of 8 sox from 2pm-about 3:30pm lost a few but a good high catch rate, didn't see 1 pink. stopped at mosquito cr. to clean my fish at the cleaning station just behind the gas pumps, they wouldn't let me use it, no boats there, last time mosquito creek makes a dime off of me, aholes.
the bell buoy is definitely in 29-3 but not by a lot. probably 30-40 boats out there this aft. about 10 or so were definitely in 29-3, coulda been fishing springs,pinks and ho's though. the boundary is from pt atkinson to the western most point of land at point grey. the bell buoy moves with the tides but was probably within 200-300' this aft. and btw pacific angler is not dfo.

14 ft is OK if calm, 16ft is better. 12ft and under only if water is like glass.

Especially if those cargo freighters are going by full-tilt, The walls of water they produce are like Tsunami waves!
I was out there with a bunch of boats on Wednesday from 1pm-6 and found the schools of sox between the markers but couldn't get them to bite at all. Had lines from 50-75 feet with a crazy amount of flash and pink squirts but not even a bite. Didn't see many boats around catching any either. We were focusing on the area pretty close to the markers. Anyone heading out for sox today? If so, please let me know where you find them!

Great advice. It never ceases to amaze me the risks some people take with their lives and those of others ... last Friday night we buzzed by an 8 foot inflatable with two people who were fishing off of the North Arm and then during the Monday gong show off of the Bell Buoy we saw a 12 ft. aluminum with 4 people sprawled in it.

The Tugs produce some pretty huge waves as well. I would say 16 foot would be the smallest with at least 15 HP.

They were fishing alongside us for a bit when them idiotic 35'+ pleasure cruisers decided to roll through on half plane on the opposite side of me, I tell you if I hadn't of busted down a couple of those monster rollers they were creating it might have been a scarry ride for them, I dont know why they had to go right up the center of everyone and couldnt have skirted the fleet a bit better, I mean I'm sure they must have realized the havoc they created with some of the smaller boats throwing off them huge wakes definately some of the largest I've taken off the side, there was just no way to turn into them.
