Misread the title and thought it was 'fisting thread'
:okay:

subbed for fishing

looks like he's got minimum 2 females in there

I haven't been fishing in ages but I want to get back into it and start frying up some trout.

where a good place locally to do some beginner shore/dock fishing.

and this is why we don't have dungeness crab locally...

always love to go carp fishing. we are doing Canada a great favour since carp fishes are invasive species. no problem, leave it to us. :ilied:

Wow.....that's another thing I hate about some recreational fishers. So many have no idea about the regulstions for certain areas that it makes me sick. When I inform them if I see then doing something wrong, I always let them know the rules and regulations about the area. You'd be surprised how many people just flip you off or pretend they don't speak English(I'm Asian BTW). That's when I call the rapp line and hopefully someone comes out to do something about it.

The size requirement is 165cm for crab. Females and anything under has to be released. Females don't grow past 165cm so Its pretty obvious Gululu is a poacher.

I fish for invasive species all the time (bass and black crappie) and they all have limits. You may want to look into that next time you're out fishing.

if you go back and look at the pics of the crab in the clear tupperware, the crabs are fucking undersize too!


and to top it off, the OP of this thread thanks him?

does Revscene allow the posting of illegal activities in the open forums?

I actually didnt even realize that their were females in there or that they were undersized. I dont really go crabbing so its hard to tell lol.

Thanks retracted.

What kinda fish are you interested in fishing? Do you have a rod and reel already?

could start out at sasamat lake casting from the dock. nice and easy beginner spot.


was up at sayres lake this weekend...not a single bite :(

heading up to gypsum lake with my dad in a few weeks...hopefully it'll be better there.

anyone fly fish??? i've been wanting to learn but nobody i know does it lol

I used to fly fish with my dad but he passed away and I've never gone since but I'd like to take it up again. To me, it was a lot more fun then just sitting in a rowboat dragging out a line.

I used to fly fish a bit with my dad, I can still do the casting but I'm pretty sure I suck at it because I've never caught anything doing it haha.

Let them post away, so that it may be forwarded on to the appropriate authorities.

I'm not a skilled fisherman. Never been salmon or lake fishing. I just go off the docks in north/west van and areas of Richmond for dogfish and sturgeon. Catch and release, just to waste time really. Been a while too.

Just wondering is there some sort of fishing areas in the lower mainland that I can take my 5 year daughter to take her fishing.

I know in the States there are some fish farms of some sort that I can pay $5 per fish that she catches.

There's a trout farm in mission I'll edit with link in abit

I would go for rice lake with the setup that I mentioned in the first post. The lake is stocked and is relatively easy to fish.

spring & autumn is best for rice, if the weather is too hot the fish aren't active. if you do go in the summer, early mornings first light and late evenings are best during the day you may as well leave and go shopping and have lunch and come back.



Haney wharf when salmon are in is a great place to bring the kid while dad is catching salmon, the lil ones can cast off the side and catch whitefish

As T4 suggested, Rice Lake is one option. There are also several other stocked lakes in the Lower Mainland that would be good options.

As a commercial crabber it disgusts me the amount of people that either "don't know" or don't follow the regulations. If you don't know here are the 4 basic rules YOU MUST follow for crab fishing.

1) You must obtain and carry a valid B.C. Tidal Waters Sport Fishing Licence.
2) Only 2 traps are allowed per licence per person.
3) Females and undersized crab must be released IMMEDIATELY and carefully.
4) A maximum of 4 legal size (keepers) can be kept per licence per person.

I find people disregard number 4 far too often. Anything over 4 crab per licence is considered ILLEGAL.

Also always write your name and a telephone number on your floats and buoys. This will make it easier for us or the authorities to return your lost or tangled equipment.
