Cates park July 10
« on: July 10, 2005, 07:51:29 PM »
 Wanted to head out from ambleside today but figured it would be impossible to get a parking spot on a weekend so we headed out from Cates park for some flounder and crab. First pull of the traps and we had a limit of crabs, we also caught a few decent flounder. The fun part of the day was my girlfiend catching a mudshark on an ultra light with 6lb mainline and a 10lb leader line, took her forever to bring it in but I was really shocked we landed it. I lost a pretty big mudshark, my girlfriend tried to net it but it wouldnt fit into the net and snapped my line after it flopped out of the net.

cates park opens from nov 16 to apr 14. but it is not a good place for shore fishing.
if you want to fish flounder from dock, go to ambleside probably it is the best place for dock fishing in north shore.
before you go there you better to check your bait seaworm is the best.
squid meat, shrimp is also work for  flounder, greenling, bullhead, or, perch

you also can fish summer coho from mouth of capilano liver or from seawalk of the park. use buzzbomb r spinner.

I find that all of these fish will happily take a hunk of dew worm too.  Never got a dogfish on one though, must just be my luck.  I don't think dogfish are very picky, are they?

we caught the dogfish on small peices of shrimp, was kind of a suprise because this was the first time we had caught them in the area we were fishing for flounder
