Title: New fishing store in Burnaby
Post by: Rodney on July 17, 2012, 01:49:13 PM
Some of you may already know this, but there is a new fishing store in Burnaby called "First Light Fishing and Tackle". You will also be quite familiar with the owner if you have shopped at Army and Navy in the past few years. The owner Steven Su opened his door a few weeks ago and currently carries all your needs for salt and freshwater fishing. What really makes his store quite unique is he also carries fishing poles for carp and other coarse fish. Many of you have asked about these poles and you no longer have to order them from Asia or Europe. He also sells powder bait for carp and coarse fish in different flavours. The store is conveniently located next to Deer Lake so you can grab some of these products and give it a go for those big golden ghosts. ;D

First Light Fishing and Tackle
#3-5901 Broadway in Burnaby (see map (https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=+&q=%233-5901+Broadway+Burnaby&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=5901+Broadway,+Burnaby,+British+Columbia+V5B+4P7,+Canada&ll=49.265212,-122.979242&spn=0.043016,0.058365&t=m&z=14))

I am sure Google Translate will come up with an app on the smartphone soon so you can just scan the products for th Engrish names.

"Crap pole"

"Shrimp flour"

One reason for seeing a lot of Admunson is the  store may be waiting for their account to be finalized with the major suppliers.

Hey Rod,the store is located very near Burnaby lake. Deer lake is nearer Canada Way and somewhat behind Burnaby municipal hall.

Rod - im sure the barcode scanner apps would work just fine, downside is that it might not translate the information  :'(

Think i might make a special trip for one of those "crap poles" though  ;)

Those poles are specifically designed for carp and other coarse fish, but they can be pretty awesome for float fishing with chironomids for trout and char at interior lakes. ;D

and here several of us were hoping you would notice that we were all giving you the gears for your post after my first one where you called them "crap poles" and then here you go being all serious and ruining the ongoing joke  ::) lol

Lol they sell silver carp bait here ;D and that fishing line will easily break when attatched to a snap swivel. Lost some nice fish like that.

Does anyone else know how to tie those hooks that don't have eyes?

Buy some Gami's and learn to tie a Trilene knot. You will lose less fish.

WE NEED A TACKLE STORE IN SURREY.

ANYONE OUT THERE LISTENING!

Went to the store today, it's near my house.
Steven actually has excellent prices on lead sturgeon weights. Cheaper than both Riverside or SeaRun.
Decent Selection of Sturgeon Baits at the regular prices. Picked up a pack of Lamprey Eels and can't wait to try them out.

Super Nice guy, great location (it's less than a 5 minute drive), and more than just carp supplies.
Has lots of Amundson and Shimano stuff. Best of Luck
