me and the gf took the boat out of cates park today , came home with 5 decent red rock and three dungees, 10 nice size flounder , a greenling about 12" and a few tommy cod, my girlfriend caught the biggest tommy cod i have ever seen, measured it when we got home and it was 13"!, also we dropped a prawn trap in about 100' of water because i didnt have any more rope, and got 5 prawns, and one time we pulled it up there was three big bullheads in there, im certain they must have ate a few of my prawns

were did you go to lucky near the reserve? and what did you use for bait
-
Closed for lingcod, opened for sole, flounder, cod (true cod, not rockfish). Daily quota for rockfish is 1 in Area 28 unless there are specific closures.
Daily quota in Area 28
Greenling = 3
Sole, flounder = 8
Codfish = 8

fished towards the reserve, used small pieces of shrimp for bait, flounder love the shrimp. Scalper was that you fishing off the dock at cates park?
-
ya that was us again
-
ummm how deep where you catching the fish
-
most of the fish were caught in 25-40 feet, we got a couple flounder in 10-15 feet, also had alot of tom cod action in the shallow waters right off the shoreline
-

Way to go lucky! you live up to your name
-
Hey scalper66, you guys didn't notice that big red and white sign at the entrance of the dock that says, "No Crabbing, No Fishing"? ::) ::)

no someone must have got rid of the no in front
said crab and fish ::)
-
why would anyone kill a 13 inch tommy cod?? at that size, what are they good for?
-
I killed it because I wanted to eat it, they taste rather good, and to my knowledge a 13" tomcod is rather large.
-
the sign is for crabbing and fishing off the dock. there is a date on the sign in which there is no fishing nor crabbing is permitted off the dock.people interfere with docking and launching of boats , the dates should be the summer months.between may and october .
-
One time I was down there with my nephew and there were two separate signs with two separate dates when you cannot fish or crab from the dock. Confusing to say the least.
-
you can start fishing off the dock, nov.15 I believe, I personally think they should shut all the government docks for a while, not only for the summer boaters but it takes the pressure off the fish and crabs, everynight I have been dogfishing at ambleside in the past few months I have noticed people poaching crabs, and I mean everynight, I have called the hotline, but never seen a dfo show up there, I find it kinda sad that a peir like ambleside , right on the ocean is totally cleaned crab
-
I stopped fishing at ambelside after I heard about all the sewage contamination in the area. Only thing i'd keep from there now are migratory species that dont spend much time there....like coho!
-

LOL!!! You are kidding right? You sound like a kid but being young and ignorant is not an excuse especially if you know you are violating what the sign says. If a CO came along and gave you a ticket is the about reasoning what you are gonna use to defend yourself? ??? ::) ??? ::)
