So, what is happening at Sasamat these days?  I'm taking three co-workers to do some easy fishing next Friday, and I desperately need some good advice as where to go (the closer to Vancouver the better). These are all fishing virgins, so I want to do my best to get them hook into fishing. Thanks, and HELP!!!!!!!

lol if you try to break people arm's that threaten you then good thing you did it to someone who can't do anything about it after. I woudln't recomend you doing it in the cities you might just be digging a grave for yourself.

yea whatever.....you do not know who i am or what i do for living or what training i have received. I would rather break someones arm who IS ATTACKING me with an edged weapon than end up bleeding. As for the "cities" comment, i have never been threatened in the city, even on the DTES. most of the idiots i deal with are out the rural areas.

I thought this thread wuz bout fishin  

Just think what he meant was just because you have martial arts training, doesn't mean you should always use it.  Its kinda disturbing when someone says "people I usually deal with are in rural areas".  Kinda makes it seem like you look for confrontations.  

Personally I like martial arts.  I have been taking karate, judo and boxing.  I could have gotten into numerous fights a month. The reason I didn't is because I exercised restraint.  Just walk away.  To answer someone elses question, I have been attacked with a knife (2 guys) and a gun once.  

Sometimes we just gotta let the other guy go.  Even if he is talking cupcakes etc.  Leave it to the DFO or police.

lol no matter what training you got or what martial arts you got, it won't mean much when you got 10 50 guys in your face. But yeah rural areas probably different then in the cities. btw i didn't post that meaning anything offensive so don't let anybody get in your way jet li ing people that threaten you lol.

OK All - one last chance for this to return to a fishing thread...then it's topic lock, since we've hit some serious topic drift.

Thanks, DS.  I tried to get them to do that 5 replies ago

So, I take it from all the other talk about Sasamat that fishing's been slow?!  Not much fish action to talk about, but it sounds like the docks are lively.  I've been out of town a lot this summer on family vacations, am finally back and looking to fish some local lakes.  Sounds like Sasamat's been cleaned out.
Oh well, there's always Buntzen....

[carpman]

got 2 the other day at buntzen....never had much luck at sasamat for some reason.

Are the regs for Sasamat any different from the regs for any lake in region 2?  As far as I know, they're the same, except for a regulation against gas boat motors all year, and electric boat motors part of the year.

[Joe Fish]

Zaphod,

Limit is 4 trout per day.  As for boats, it is from May to September there's a complete motor ban (people swimming too much).  After that, I'm pretty sure it's electric motors only.

By the way, was talking to a guy at Sasamat yesterday (Sunday) and he mentioned that there's a complete motor ban on Buntzen year round now.  Anyone know about this?

[The Gilly]

I thought electrics were OK on Buntzen?

[Joe Fish]

I thought so too, but he's insisting it's a ban on all motors now by BC Hydro.  They changed their regulations or something.

This is interesting, I just went into Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis 2004 - 2005 (weird, at the top it says Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis 2002), and couldn't find specific regulations on Buntzen Lake unde Region 2 section.

[Rodney]

Ok, found it. This information is from the BC Hydro website.

http://www.bchydro.com/recreation/mainland/mainland1208.html

Under "Visitor Information Specific to Buntzen Lake":

"The use of power boats is prohibited on Buntzen Lake. Small battery-powered electric motors are allowed. While boating observe all water safety regulations."

[Zaphod]

Joe - OK.  I'm pretty sure that the limit for trout is 4 per day in any lake in region 2 though.  Strange how they have signs posted to that effect in some places (e.g. Buntzen) and not others (e.g. Sasamat).  I think a little signage would go a long way towards people following the regs.

On topic, I've fished Sasamat sporadically throughout August and no luck.  A few nibbles, that's it.  You get some fish jumping about 1/2 hour before sunset, and that seems to be when the nibbles come.
