Title: fishing for rockfish @ lighthouse park?
Post by: fengyuanfei on October 14, 2005, 12:46:11 PM
I was going to escape the gong show and fish for some rockfish (while putting a crab trap down) somewhere along lighthouse park this weekend. What setup would you recommend?

Please observe where you fish. There is a region you can not fish around Lighthouse Park. (marine life conservation)

Porteau Cove — Those waters east of a line drawn from a fishing boundary sign at the south shore of Porteau Cove northerly in a straight line to the white fishing boundary sign on the north shore of Porteau Cove.

Point Atkinson - Commencing 200 m from the southernmost tip of Point Atkinson (125 m east of the lighthouse), then extending northeasterly along the shoreline for 100 m to the entrance of Starboat Cove and extending 85 m offshore.

Whytecliff Park — Those waters inside a line that begins at the most southerly point of Whytecliff Park, then in a straight line to a point located 100 m east of the most southeasterly point of Whyte Islet, then following the southern shoreline of Whyte Islet at a distance of 100 m to a point lying 100 m from the most southwesterly point of Whyte Islet, then in a straight line to a point lying 100 m west of White Cliff Point, then following the shoreline at a distance of 100 m in a northerly direction to a point 100 m north of Lookout Point, then following the shoreline at a distance of 100 m  in an easterly direction to a point 100 m perpendicular to the most northerly point of Whytecliff Park, then to the most northern point of Whytecliff Park on the mainland.

Lighthouse Park is basically covered within Point Atkinson and Whytecliff Park no fishing zone.

okay, so looks like no rockfishing on the weekend, i didn't know that it was closed. Just thought about it since I saw some guys fishing there before, they were illegal than...how interesting.

where else to go then?

Fish Ambleside. You can get perch, greenlings, sculpin, and on less occations (daytime) dogfish, salmon, herring, if lucky may also get a quilback (rockfish).
