i know this is not a good question but, are there any bars accessable without a boat would like to give a try. and how much weght would be recomended

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...
-
16oz should be fine

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

Love to bar fish just sit back and wait for that bell ding ding
-
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. :-[

I had an old piece of pretty solid steel from an IKEA bedframe(?) lying around as well as an old tiki torch. Cut off about 12 inches of the bamboo, drilled two holes in it, and secured it to the steel with some nuts and bolts I had lying around.
Gets the job done.
Total cost = 15 min. of my time. :) :)

Maybe an old hockey stick shaft with some PVC... true canadian holder there.

That wouldnt last long. It takes alot of force to drive the holder into the gravel bed, after awhile the rebar flares right out. If you're fishing the upper Fraser I'd be bringing along a hammer or an axe

Worked for me. Got the rebar and PVC from work. 2 stainless clamps at Home depot cost $3. Way cheaper than the $80 or so at a local shop.
