PUBLIC FISHERY ALLIANCE RALLY FOR SUSTAINABLE FISHING ANNOUNCEMENT - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! This is a call to action. Join us and rally for your access to British C...olumbia’s sustainable public fisheries on Monday, July 6th from 12:00pm - 1:30pm outside the DFO office at 401 Burrard Street in Vancouver. Where: 401 Burrard St, Vancouver BC Date: 12:00pm - 1:30pm Time: Monday, July 6th We need as much support as possible. Please be mindful of social distancing as we are still dealing with the Covid-19 situation.

From the Fisheries Minister. " I want to ensure that we do not knowingly put these stocks on a path to extinction". By not addressing the real issues facin...g these fish, is he lying? There are many, healthy sustainable hatchery and wild chinook runs that can sustain first nations, recreational and commercial harvest. He had sustainable options given to him by the DFO, but he ignored them. How does a fishery that barely impacts the threatened Fraser Stock play any meaningful role in its recovery. The biggest threat to coastal communities and their way of life is this same government. See you at the peaceful rally outside of Jonathan Wilkinson's office between 12pm and 1pm on Wednesday May 1st, 2019. Fisheries Minister Jonathan Wilkinson’s Office 102 W 3 Street, North Vancouver

A pair of 17 lb chinooks for the California boys on a quick afternoon trip. Guess the tiebreaker will be decided by the guy whose wife spent the least shopping while the boys went fishing. Rhys Davis teaser heads and large chovies got inhaled. #rhysdavis #gibbsdeltatackle #vancouvercruiseshipterminal #pinnaclehotelharbourfront #wefishhere #vancouverisawesome

Father and son from France and an outdoor columnist from the USA....hitting the true trifecta BC experience...sockeye salmon, Dungeness crab and a handful of BC spot prawn and shrimp. Hit some sizable schools of sockeye out from the pack. MB squirts and Delta Gibbs blue flashers performed well today. Get out there if you can. Happy fishing! #sockeyesalmon #vancouverisawesome #wheretofish #vancouverbc #dungenesscrab #deltagibbstackle

Super nice water today with awesome repeat guests. 3 undersized nooks for the day...and lots of smiles and laughs. Tonnes of seals out there today. #vancouverisawesome #winterfishing #howesound #thingstodoinvancouver #happyfishing

A couple of awesome Aussies mates bringing some sockeye home for dinner tonight for their wives. A quick fishing trip sure beats shopping! #sockeyesalmon #wefishhere #vancouverisawesome https://t.co/v2L9iyrwXU

Team Italy in full synchronization landing this chunky brute in under 10 minutes yesterday. This beauty red chinook will be enjoyed by these salmon loving guests over the next few days...breakfast, lunch, and dinner...and repeat. 3 legal crab were the icing on the cake. Congrats! Happy Fishing! #wefishhere #kingsalmon #vancouverisawesome #saltwaterfishing #italy #bigchinook

Decent schools of coho in the harbour today. 1 freshy 7lb hatch, released a similar wild and lost a few. All down deep. Sunshine and good seas topped off an already fun day. Happy fishing #cohosalmon #vancouverharbour #vancouverisawesome #wheretofish #rhysdavis #octoberfishing @ Vancouver, British Columbia

Always a great bonus to see the orcas on a fishing trip just outside Vancouver harbour a few weeks ago. Shaky camera as we had to zoom way in to keep our distance. Happy fishing! #vancouverharbour #srkw #wheretofish #chinooksalmonfishing #wefishhere #respectfornature #vancouverisawesome

Fishing family from Texas with a nice slab from local Vancouver waters. One of equal size got away on dad so mom showed him and the boys how to land the big ones. Girls rock! Rhys Davis https://t.co/h2kdCyBqnd

Nothing quite like your very first fish...on your 60th bday. Lost another one just a bit smaller. And this is how the fishing addiction begins. Happy birthday and happy fishing. #rhysdavis #watermarkflashers #vancouverisawesome #chinooksalmonfishing #happybirthday

Check out these awesome and creative pics by birthday girl Ariell whose sister and mom booked her a trip for her birthday. She kept score on her arm of how many salmon we hooked, lost and landed. Magical day with such fun guests, great music, lots of laughs and lots of salmon ...and a visit from a half dozen orca whales. I can not wait to see them again for round 2! Thanks again!

The Hawaiians back for another trip showing their fishing skills once again landing a 12lb chinook in Howe Sound yesterday. 140' on a Bon Chovy skinny G and Watermark flasher did the trick. Windy but certainly a beautiful day. Happy fishing! #fishingbc #thingstodoinvancouver #fishingcharters. #salmonfishing #fishinginvancouver

Local fishing was great today going 6 for 8 on chinooks with a couple of nice ones for the box along with 4 nice legal crabs. Guests from Germany and Vancouver will eat well tonight. 88'-124" was working well. #fishingbc #vancouverisawesome #chinooksalmon

Another solid day of local Vancouver fishing the deep water south of Bowen yesterday. Converting the 9 hookups was a challenge with the debris in the water but our guests still managed to take home a chinook keeper and 4 nice large crab. Lines at 90-140' was the sweet spot. Couldn't ask for better weather, flat water and fun guests. Contact us if you'd like to get in on the action. Happy fishing!
