as a part time employee of the local waterfront (surrey docks and delta port) you will not win any favors from those that are employed there by blockading there place of employment over a fisheries issue.

They don't seem to care who they inconvenience when they are on the picket lines.

what about setting up a bunch of boats at anchor in the drift net lanes?  Maybe drop some spin n glos for springs to make it a little less obvious...maybe not!

I like your idea Gooey.  All sport fishermen with boats should blockade the river whe DFO open it for the FN and close for the sporties.  This would be legal since the court thrown out FNs' maneuvering against such things.

I believe there is a general boating regulation that requires that more maneuverable boats move for less (i.e. one that's netting has the right of way).

I guess the protester could tow barges, logs or something to make their boats less maneuverable. ;D

If you want the publicity and have a spokesman then do what they did once before!

Get ALL the boats and cars together. Start on #1 and go 5 milles an hour to Chilliwack!
Or go to Mission and shut down the DFO office!

Or go to Vancouver, you will get the press!
