Post by: frozensalmon on September 09, 2011, 08:07:47 PM
fish will be affected?

hit vancouver island, lots of people feel the shake in lower mainland

I was fishing at Fraser in Richmond area....didn't feel a thing..
but also couldn't get the fish.... probably got to do with the shake in riverbed or something else anyway....
I was getting 4 pinks around the same time 2 days ago in the same spot

Nothing to do with the earthquake, more to do with the purse seiners at the mouth.

Yeah, the river was totally dead because there was a gill netter parked right in front of us. When the gill netter left the river had fish jumping everywhere; however, they were all out of casting range.

are you saying that the reason we peopple fishing on the shore couldn't get a fish mostly coz the commercial fishing dudes are using nets all along in the river?

Take a few thousand fish out of the river and you will have a harder time catching fish.  However, in a run of this size, there are plenty to go around and commercial guys have bills to pay.  There are more to come.
