never mind...i already asked this question.

gotta get out there, I can never decide wether to go mountain biking or fishing...mountain biking always seems to win.

ok...silly question.  Because i'm torn every weekend to either go mountain biking or fishing...mountain biking usually wins out because i'm training for a race.

But...i figure.  I live in new west, there's probably some good opportunities right in my back yard.  Is it worth it to just fish from shore in the local areas?  There is some decent spots at the fraser foreshore park at the end of Byrne road.  Just not sure if its worth it to hit up those areas of the Fraser?

I've tried at the little park just across from New West on the Fraser, can't remember the name of that park.  Regardless...it was full of bull-heads and really not that interesting.  I'm just thinking i'm probably targetting the fish in the wrong way.  I was making my first and few attempts at bar fishing (i'm gonna re-kindle that this spring) and it seems like the bull-heads liked my roe better than any of the salmon.

I guess if i target the fish i'm after in the right way, then i might have more success in the new west/burnaby area on the Fraser?

Or am I just kidding myself and I should get used to bull-head fishing? hehe


thanks again,

I have the same problem most of the time when fishing bait near fort langley in the fraser. The only thing you can really do is use roe bags instead of chunks, the bullheads and such will steal bite at your bait but it is less likely to be taken off the hooks by them. If you can find faster moving water you can always try and use spin and glos as well, but this typically works better above mission. For landing fish in my kayak I use a large net that fits behind my seat. occasionally I have had to beach myself and play the fish to shore if I was having too much trouble (lots of wind or jet boats flying past).
