AskHorseshoe Bay
Taking my brother out this weekend, his first time. We'll be in a 16-ft rental out of Horseshoe Bay. What's actually biting this time of year, and what should we put on the line? Please keep it simple, we're both beginners. And what do I need to check before we keep anything?

AskVancouver & the Salish Sea
Got my tidal water licence this year. I've caught exactly one fish, and I'm not sure it counted. Looking for people who don't mind beginner questions. First one: what's the one thing you wish someone had told you in your first season?

NoticesPort Hardy
Fisheries and Oceans Canada announced on October 19 that two recreational fishers were convicted on July 29, 2026, in Port Hardy, of keeping rockfish during a closed period and going over the daily limit. One was also convicted of failing to produce a fishing licence. The fines total CA$8,750, and the catch was seized. DFO's release names both fishers. The case began in March 2025, when someone called DFO's Observe, Record and Report line. BC's coast has more than 35 species of rockfish. Some live over 100 years. They grow and reproduce slowly, so closures and limits are how they're protected. Before you keep anything, check the closures, the limits and your licence. To report a suspected violation: DFO's Observe, Record and Report line.

My fishing boat is based at The Marina at Hampton Cove. Where would be a convenient place to go salmon fishing? Is there an experienced captain willing to take me out for the experience? We can split the catch—haha!
