Tried a little bar fishing this morning on a few upper Fraser bars - you need some pretty big weight to keep your rig where it should stay. Can be done though!

I heard bars like peg leg are accessible so almost everything should be accesible. You need really heavy weight though. I was by tidal fraser and 5 oz wasn't enough...

I'll be checking out peg leg sometime this week. Gonna try huckin a bar rig out on my sturgeon set up...

I might drop a bunch n line on the beach and then toss it out by hand. Im thinking I could throw further than I could cast on my stub 6'6 rod.

Tips?

I've heard that the upper arm fraser has less current. Should a 4-6oz. Weight be enough?

There is a bar just east of the Queensbouougrh Bridge. Go on google maps, find the Queensborough Bridge, click satellite, and look east-southeast of the bridge and you will see the bar. There is a path to access it on fairweather lane.

That bar down in Port Royal east of the QB bridge is nice and peaceful. I've had a fair number of hit and misses. However the current is real strong there and I always have a problem with snags due to all the broken trees stuck in that area.  >:(

There is a bar by the pattullo bridge. Last time I was there was a couple weeks ago and some guys were hooking jacks. You dont need much weight there. a 4 ounce will do but when the tide is going out you might need a 6 or 8.
You can access it going down old yale road and park across from the Brownsville RV park.

That's a pretty good idea!   You'd be more accurate also, esp. if you aren't familiar with casting large weights.   I wonder if anyone has tried this.  I'm sure it will work - just make sure your rod is solidly secured first.

What's a good way to secure my rod... do any fraser valley shops sell rod holders? I guess I better goole this.

Just get a Piece of PVC pipe or any tube wider then the cork, a length of rebar and a couple hose clamps.
Make sure whatever you use leave a couple inches above the tube to pound into the gravel

My buddy just made me one by welding a piece of pipe to a long piece of angle iron. Looking forward to trying it out

I think im gonna try this with a piece of angled steel.

Hope everything works fine using my 6'6 sturgeon rod.   :-[
