Too bad about double dipping the rockcod, but nice pile perch. how long was that puppy?
-
Sigh... i cant believe ppl would think i did not know that you can only retain 1 rockcod per license -_-;
tsktsktsk... rod have u got no faith in me? ><
well ya anyways... i went fishing with my cousin from toronto... so together we had 2 license. and honestly what are the chances of them surviving after surfacing? why waste its life.
i went again the very next day and met a form member on here. he can prove my innocence. and i also caught 2 more rockcod :)
the rockcods were 8-10 inches. you do the math ;) ;)

Jig Head, I never said you were over your limit. Joshua asked about the daily limit, I answered and provided the links, so others would know it is one.
-
if your shallow they will survive i think its over 60 feet they have high mortality
-
i guess i took it the wrong way, sorry.
anyways. im in toronto now and gona be doing some bass and anyfish fishing :) ill take some pictures when i come back hahaha
-

For those of your who have access to the north shore news, I would recommend you check out the article regarding lighthouse park being closed to fishing. Its entitled "WV etends shoreline fishing closure" (Friday July 14th) and it talks of dwindling rock fish populations along west vancouver.
One mind numbing point is that the local quill back population has had 3 successful breeding years in the last century(1926,1946,1968)! This is a species that obviously must have a tough time maintaining/growing a healthy population.
Everyone has to make choices for themselves, but these shallow water rock cod are prime candidates for catch and release. I ask you all to think of this: what value does does a 6 and 8 inch rock cod have as a food fish VS a live fish which will breed and help ensure our waters always have rockfish in them?
I would say any rock cod caught locally that doesnt have its swim bladder extended out of its mouth should be first considered for Catch and Release (IMHO).
When a .75 cent can of tuna has more food value than a couple of tiny rock cod, I think there really is only one choice.

i totally agree

sighhh -_-;
ever considering not fishing?
