  Yeah, there are some big springs in the cap right now;D.  On sunday October 10, 2004 I caught a spring that was approximately over 30 pounds.  I released the spring since you cannot keep any yet.  You can start retaining springs on october 16th and the bait ban is still in-effect until the 31st of october.

YOU GUYS GOTTA GET A REALITY CHECK!  >:(

The largest fish that was hauled in off the mouth of the Cap this year went 55lbs--by a boat. That is DEAD, BONKED, and put on a real scale not some Canadian Tire Spring Scale that should be used for weighing some dinky rainbows!

I also know of 1 other spring confirmed over 50 lbs snagged in the estuary pool, where all the snaggers are busy doing their thing.

As for how many there are there, likely there are less than half a dozen, and many of those are sure to be hooked. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, after talking to ALL of the professional guides in the lower mainland recently this FALL, and in the last few years, the biggest was a 61lber caught again...IN THE OCEAN.

HEY FOLKS...IF YOU SEE SOMEONE CATCH SOMETHING OVER YOU SAY 60'bs, the GIRTH OF THAT BABY MUST BE OVER 30 inches or it must be as long as a U BOAT SINKING TORPEDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So....JUST TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT...unless you have PICTURE PROOF...those of us in the know seriously doubt your claims about fish over 60, and those we hear about over 50 this low on the coast are sincerely questioned!

Anyways, FISH STORIES certainly are fun!!!!!! ;D

CF: interesting comments on them tagging fish.  Do you remember what were the water conditions when they did it?  I assume the water level must have been average to high???  Thanks.

question about the Cap for you guys who know it...I believe the Train bridge is the boundary at the mouth between tidal and non-tidal.  Why is it I have never seen anyone fishing on the freshwater side of the train bridge...I mean of all the many times I fished the Cap river mouth this year I never once saw anyone on the freshwater side...
As far as I knew there was only 1 no fish zone and that was from the fish fenec down for 100 meters.
