does anyone know if there are more commercial openings coming up?

[Robert_G]

Ahhh yes,those fresh TBones that were carved live in the back rtoom at Superstore.
Cant get much fresh than that.
Once i seen one escape into the store.
Talk about a bull in a china shop.

Not sure if you have ever eaten T-bone steak from Superstore, but the quality of their beef is second only to Costco. As for freshness, you know as well as I do that salmon has only a fraction of the shelf life that beef has.

does anyone know if there are more commercial openings coming up?

Commercial openings in Area 12, 13 and 20 as well as a 5 hour gillnet opening at the mouth of the Fraser in Area 29 today.

Good luck if you are heading out this weekend. You'll need it.

Were those pictures taken today Rodney?

I wonder how many fish those boats take in during a 3 or 5 hour opening and if it really has that big of an impact on the river fishing?

[mykisscrazy]

I heard from the last 3 hour opening..around 80,000 fish were taken.
There was almost nothing coming upriver for a couple of days.
It is amazing how effective those boats are

so...i know this is a fishing forum.

i'd love to go fishing, but the rivers are crammed with people, boats are taking up all the fish.  I'd rather wait until the sockeye move through and the people go home.  Thats when the real fishing starts and the shopping ends.

I'd rather just buy sockeye for now to save on the hassle and time.  whats a decent price on sockeye?

where's a good place to go?

i guess i shouldn't buy from the people with signs on steveston highway in richmond?

[Rodney]

Head down to Steveston Village and buy them from the boats. $20/fish.

unless Mission is closer to you then head down to the docks or wherever the natives are selling them. I think socks are going for $15 each now.

I was going to take my son out to Chilliwack Friday morning very early am, do you think it would be a waste of time?

The PSC website is saying that roughly 200,000 fish a day are going under the Mission Bridge, so if 80,000 were taken out in 3 hours, that shouldn't impact the fishery as much as you say it does.

In regards to how effective they are..... yeah when your allowed a 100 fathom net, it only takes a few boats to put a wall in front of the river.

friday should be good, sat or sunday might be slower. the weekend gong show should be something worth avoiding. lots of the late run are not coming up the river yet holding in the straits.

[Mat9]

Thanks for the reply. We'll give it a shot.....my son will be thrilled to get out for another try at catching his 1st sockeye.
