Very little  for either Salmon or Bottomfish in the area it's been dead for over a dozen years now.
If it's a boat ride you want it's a beautiful location if it's productive fishing you want try someplace else.

You'll most likely catch a suntan and little else.
It's true there was a bite of sorts on along Agamemnon Channel back in June but little since.
Do your wallet a favour and save your money for a real fishing trip outside.

You guys talking bout Garden bay on sunshine coast? My in laws have a place there on the water, A frame. We've been going up for years now but have seen no salmon for a long time, What happened? My pop in law said they were going on the outside of texada, sound right? really sucks as 10 years ago we used to have two and three on at the same time while leaving the harbor...

More like 15 years ago.
Then people kept destroying every stream and ditch that held Coho, and the water in Georgia Strait got warmer and wamer.
The fish are now on the other side of Vancouver Island.

Are you accusing me of killing them all

A caught Rockfish is a dead Rockfish-how many times did you fill your limit and take all you could?
Now you claim to be surprised that they're all gone?
I remember 30 years ago seeing people kill Rockfish the size of the palm of my hand on Bjerre Shoal-is there any wonder there's nothing left?
You and everyone like you who directly targeted Rockfish are the people responsible for decimating those stocks.


BTW-Mister Man is an informal term of address used by Canadian males.

Diesel, I hope you gather SOMETHING useful from the thread.  It's kind of fallen apart :(

Cheers and Good Luck!
