any word on an opening.
-
No opening for sockeye yet.
Just an opening for people to post with no information other than a dumb comment.
Better to check with local tackle shope than ask here.
-
Oh they are open all right, at your friendly neighbourhood reserve.
Price still a bit high at $15, but expected to drop to $10 soon.
Still much cheaper than spending all that money on gas and terminal tackle.
Not to mention the crowd of yahoos waiting for the opening signal with their fingers on the rod trigger. ;D
-
Cant wait to catch my 14 socks, I mean if they open it for a week? Yahoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
-
28? You mean 14. There will not be a 4 per day limit this year, MAYBE at the tidal water section
-

So you mean those fish on craiglist arent from legit commercial fishermen?
If you were going to sell illegal fish, why on earth would you advertise on craigslist???
-
I don't know exactly where those fish are from, but i believe - and don't use this as official info - area B/H and D are open for gillnetters from today
-
ah, that's really annoying. Don't buy illegal fish or fish whose origin you are uncertain of - I mean, from the illegal fish black market. if noone buys them these guys will potentially have no customers and no motivation to poach and or sell FSC fish inappropriately/illegally.
-
sorry - my bad:
Licence Area D gill nets to open in portions of Management Areas 11, 12 and 13,
Sunday 4PM to Monday 8 AM. Check with specific Fishery Notices for further
details.

Well said. Problem is that many people just want cheap meat for the table and don't care about the ethical aspects. Still a long way to go to improve public awareness when it comes to protecting sea resources.
