[BiG Boar]

what sort of fishing do you use for these? Rough area? I would like to try fishing near home some day. Don't really know where to start.

[coach]

Nice fish! Hard to find any fish better on the barbeque than an early season fat Fraser River spring.

Same hear, I've got the boat the gear and the desire, just never fished the Fraser only the chuck.

Nice score BTW that's one full BBQ!!

[Chuck]

Aw, that's just Orca food!

Can you read the jealousy? - LOL.

[bruin]

Nice fish!

[Jetboater]

looks like you guys had a good day with Kenny even with Water in the tank...LOL...

[Summit 512]

Some nice looking fish you got there.....my mouth is watering

[silvertipp]

its called bottom bounceing best fishing is roughly chilliwack & obove
check out hub sports for good local fishing news

[Slee]

Where do these fish go to spawn? Do they spawn in the fraser??

[silvertipp]

they spawn all over but none in the fraser that im aware stewart,nechako,horsefly,adams are some of the larger runs

[PGK]

None of them spawn, people from vancouver kill them all before they get to spawn

[silvertipp]

thats why its the best spring fishing weve seen in years come dwn to the coast for a good fishing adventure

[PGK]

Hahahahahahaha I love this site.

[Ddog]

the snagging fest begins i see, i hope they ban the bottom snagging, its killing the whole sport.
its really not cool to do that you know, poor fish make it through 3-5 yrs in the ocean then get snagged in the face and clubbed.
try bar fishing for them when the water clears a bit, best thing ever.

[betteroffishing]

i knew someone was hollier than though , great looking catch.

At least with bar fishing you hook them in a less tender spot..... like inside the mouth...... :confused: and then you club them till they're dead!

This is starting to sound like an, I bowhunt therefore I am, you hunt with a rifle so you aren't, kind of conversation......

It's meat. You get it your way, I'll get it mine as long as they are both legal :neutral:

Is that grassy bar? Looks like Chilliwack Mt in the background. Oops, I hope I didn't let out a secret fishing spot. :)
Very nice catch.

[Dirty]

Congrats on the springs, looks like a great day of fishing. I was out last week with no love. Hopefully I can tie one on this week.

ya that water meant i got at 2 am for a 7 am first cast....haha that sucked.

[300wsm]

ya bottom bouncing is maybe not the purest fishing out there but i hunt my moose, deer and elk with a gun...not a spear. i took one fish and my family will eat it for 7 meals. when i am almost done i may go get another one. besides with 2 inches of visibility in the water how else are you going to catch them? with a net?

anyway if it is open for bottom bouncing i prefer to do that rather then buy a netted commercially caught fish. each to their own i guess.

If you can't catch your own, buying off a commercial fisherman is the next best thing. It supports jobs in the BC economy and is far better than farmed fish. I deliberately avoid eating farmed salmon at restaurants and sushi joints. I know there are some commercial fisherman on this website, and they will know better than me, but over the last 10 years commies have been fishing less and less and still the stocks are declining. There is more to do with the decline in salmon stocks than commercial fishing.

Legals,legal..ethic are your own..

just for the record i agree with you 100%.

however given the choice i would prefer to catch them myself even if it means bottom bouncing.

and i never eat farmed salmon...ever! my 6 year old can spot the difference in a sushi restaurant as easily as i can and they also know not to eat farmed fish...ever!

a freind just advised me that the salt chuck just opened for retention of 4 socks per day. time to tie on a pink hoochie and drive . anyone else heard this little gem of news???

[sparkes3]

i was on the fraser above the vedder this morning ,got nothing dont even know where to start out there or what to use.tried bottom bouncing pink wool, casting spoons ,spinners ,trolling nothing worked for me.any suggestions,i guess i just need more time out there to find a good channel to fish.

[BlacktailStalker]

Nice catch.
Whatever, in the end every fish is pierced by a hook and every game animal is impaled by a projectile of some sort, there is just lots of different ways to deliver them.
Regardless, at the end of the day their final destination is a freezer :lol:

If your trying to bottom bounce location is very inportant
fishing gear weight size needs to be heavy enough to feel the boom from top off drift to bootm off drift
Leader length is also very inportant at least 8ft long or better
Corky is very inportant very size & configuration
Hook size is also inportant
real line should be fire line or something equivalant no monofilament as it streches to much to get a good feel of bottm
all this info is available with one quick stop at HUB sports in abby

I was at spagetti bar on June 29 and saw one 15 lb caught and some dude by himself in a small boat hook up three times but lost all of them. Fishing was slow and river high, not to much debris floating down though. Heading back down wednsday will post a report.
