Title: FWR Bar Fishin?? Who wants to have one?
Post by: Big Steel on July 12, 2006, 08:17:35 PM: Since Bar Fishing seems to be picking up some steam, who would like to have a Bar fish in? There seem to be a lot of these going around right now, I and a few other members here have been lucky enough to be a part of one of them. So why not have a FWR Fish in? I can only go on Sundays, but if there is enough interest, we could set a date that would work for the majority of the people. Some where between this Sunday and August perhaps. Any other suggestions would be good. People with boats, would be good, as I know that I would need a ride!! ;D ;D Trust me they are a blast!! ;D ;D

BTW, you even get to take a nap during the day!! ;D

Post by: dennyman on July 12, 2006, 09:05:55 PM: Big Steel sounds like a good idea. I have never bar fished but from your guys last report it looks like a lot of fun. So count me in.

Correction, it goes from doing nothing to me setting the hook on a fish by the time people are just getting out of their chairs ;D

Me and roeman are still not 100% sure about our boat. its a 14foot lund with a 20 horse.

Depending on how many are in the boat, I think that it would be fine. No more than 3 people at a time though. WE had 4 people in a 14 foot with a 25 horse when I got my first a couple of weeks ago. It worked fine. Wasn't real fast, but it worked. ;)

Post by: marmot on July 13, 2006, 05:00:56 PM: I'd totally be into it....I have a massive saltwater spinning rod and a reel that holds lots of line...it could easily handle a large salmon, would it work for barfishing or is it really dependent on the action of the rod? It looks to me like as long as you had a rod that could cast the weight it'd be fine....

If this sounds like it would work, I'd be into it for sure!..but not until early august since i'll be up fishing the little smokey all next week!!

Ive got a car so i can shuttle a couple guys out there , but no boat...

I would say that should work fine. When these things hit, there is no doubt. How long is the rod? Mine is 11 feet, but there were lots of 10.5-12 foot rods out there!! ;)

Title: Re: FWR Bar Fishin?? Who wants to have one?
Post by: Big Steel on July 13, 2006, 05:17:27 PM: Well, there are some of us that are trying to get something going for Sunday!! But I think that we should give more warning for the actual fishin. Here are a couple of choices for dates. How about July 30th or Aug 6th? :)
Title: Re: FWR Bar Fishin?? Who wants to have one?
Post by: cohoslayer1 on July 13, 2006, 05:25:21 PM: the 6 th would be good for me, but i would like to go this sunday and test out my new bar rod ;D ;D ;D

Title: Re: FWR Bar Fishin?? Who wants to have one?
Post by: dennyman on July 13, 2006, 06:18:27 PM: August 6th would be good for me. Might be able to squeeze in the 3oth, but at this time August 6th looks to be the better date.

Title: Re: FWR Bar Fishin?? Who wants to have one?
Post by: Big Steel on July 13, 2006, 07:59:55 PM: I think what Fish Freak is trying to say, is that sadly we are all in the same boat so to speak. We have to try to find a way over to the bar, and so do you. If you can find a ride over, then you are in. If not, then I guess you fish somewhere else. :-\

Title: Re: FWR Bar Fishin?? Who wants to have one?
Post by: legend on July 13, 2006, 11:47:15 PM: Have 19 1/2 ft boat new in 2003 115 hp out board propeller powered where is this bar willing to take three people . All week starting Monday as I'm off work for a while and plan on fishing from now till end of august as long as propeller boats can make it with out damaging the prop I'm in . I have a few spots that i go to but in the high water there probably un fishable. I can run in 6 feet of water but it gets me nervous after that as the props get pricey normally fish around Kilby area and know this area pretty good from there down to island 22 I'm ok but am always very nervous of hitting bars going fast. As you come out of kilby to the confluence (calamity point) just below there is a spot i allways see guide boats fishing plunking with spin n glos it 's called Big fish bar in the (fishing the fraser ) book . Depending on water speed and depth i probably know some really great spots at least they are good in august the last three years. Normally i beach the boat and fish from shore i am a very competent skipper who respects the Fraser most of the better area's are in Jet boat country and I'm not willing to screw my boat up this is why i stick to the area where I'm comfortable navigating this river is challenging and must be done with extreme caution in propeller powered boats.
Title: Re: FWR Bar Fishin?? Who wants to have one?
Post by: reach on July 14, 2006, 12:43:52 AM: Hey legend,

I took my 100 HP outboard with a prop there last weekend, and it worked out just fine. Plenty of water and a short easy trip to the bar we were on last week.

I might be convinced to go this week too, though 6 a.m. is awfully early... won't know till it gets a little closer though. If I'm there I'm happy to ferry a few people back & forth.

Talk nicely to Winston, one of his good friends lets him borrow his boat ;)
Title: Re: FWR Bar Fishin?? Who wants to have one?
Post by: legend on July 14, 2006, 03:11:38 PM: Wellington bar ? , Mountain bar ? , Harrison hill bar ? , Big fish bar ? ,Queens island bar ? , they are all with in 5 min of island 22 ramp . Directly north of the ramp is called Wellington or North island bar , north east just past Wellington is Mountain bar , a little past Mountain bar is Harrison hill bar , next is Big fish bar a little up stream from Harrison hill bar . Below island 22 to the west is Queens island bar a little further south west is Wingdam bar there are so many spots it's ridiculous and from one day to the next one will out produce the next. I have fished this area the last three years and usually I go to the spot with the least amount of people . Hate being crowded I have one spot where no one usually comes to and it's productive for all species Sockeye , Spring in particular during august it's usually on fire limit out in 2 hour or less on sox and springers.

Not sure what its called, If you go down the ramp and look at the furthest point across river say look at 12 o clock you will see it directly straight across from the Boat launch, I dont kow how else to explain it, just straight across ;D

We will do all we can to get everyone over to the Bar. But also, we might go over to the Vedder afterwards for some more fishing. Depends on how the fishing is at the Bar. ;D

Howdy Folks. Can anyone tell me if I have to park by the gate and pay and then walk in ? I am unsure as to what to do and it will be early when I get there. I have been once for a drive through the park and remember it being a bit of a distance from the pay gate to the boat launch.

Cheers

Nuggy

Drive up paying at the booth.
