Strange encounter on Fraser yesterday.
« on: September 10, 2009, 07:47:29 PM »
I had a strange encounter on Fraser yesterday. As I was fishing, an aluminum boat went close by to the shore with 2 guys in it. The one was driving the boat the other was periodically taking pictures of the shore?/fishermen?/fishing spots?. They looked like they were in some kid of uniform and had high risibility wests on.

Anyone has any idea what was that about?  ???

Maybe they were filming all the secret fishing spots so they could post them on the internet??   :-\

Same thing happened to me down by No. 3 Road. The boat came within 25 feet from shore. One of the occupant had a binocular trained on the fishermen. I suspect they were checking to see whether we were using treble  or barbed hooks.

To check to see if you using barbed hock he would have to use the Hubble instead of a binocular.  ;D

The point is that we don't know who was that.

Curiosity should not be confused with negativity.

I think they were Google "Fish-Maps" guys; soon all fishing spots everywhere will be superimposed onto Google Maps.  ???

Could have been students doing some sort of geographic studies, or a company doing the same thing.
