| Fishing spots around greater Vancouver
With the warmer weather hitting, more and more people are starting to take their fishing rods out..
My friends and I have been going around town trying to look for good fishing spots, but so far, haven't had much luck.
I know there was a thread of fishing on No. 2 Rd in Richmond, but the only fish we got was a bull head. We also tried fishing by the waters near North Shore AutoMall, Ambleside where the rocks are and Garry Point but still no luck.
Is there something that we are doing wrong here? We tried all types of baits ranging from shrimps, anchovies, flour n peanut butter, pork neck? etc..
Is it the time of day? We tried day and night..
Anyone got any idea on what we are doing wrong or just at the wrong places..we are looking for all other types of fish other than the bull head..

One of my sister's co-workers is a hardcore fisher. His early-morning, pre-work, fishing outings are done on the Capilano River, in North Van. He seems to catch some coho almost everytime he goes.

What your doing wrong:
- your fishing in Richmond.
Take some FRESH shrimp and go fishing early in the morning in an actual lake... or even the ocean (that's usually the best bet to catch bigger and better fish).
There's quite a bit of good lakes in the lower mainland but not sure about Vancouver.

You might have to leave Vancouver. The Island is full of great fishing spots.

i don't have gear nor know anything about fly fishing or lake fishing, we mostly fish off shores, we look for rocky areas to see if there is any rock cod or anything like that.
we were lucky last weekend and got 2 small green lings near ambleside, but that was like 2 fish in 5 hours.
any suggestions on bait/time of day et?

what type of fish are you looking for? just any kind?
i'd suggest going to a lake. one of the best trips i remember from when i was kid was when i went to buntzen lake with my dad for rainbow trout. caught a whole bunch off a little boat, then went home and had it for dinner. must say, best fish i've ever eaten
another place i remember is that little island just across from the little dock at the end of 2 road. again, you'd need a boat, but when i went we got a whole bunch of pretty big salmon
but i guess the real question here is - do you own or have access to a boat?

We are looking for more tidal water fishing... Posted via RS Mobile

I have a boat and ocean fishing is the best hands down ^
if you find good spots you'll be pulling in monsters every minute... also so much flexibility to get around as there's a lot of good places.

Question for those fishing at 2 rd. and 3 rd.:
Is the fish you catch safe to eat (the ones that are worth eating that is)? Because the water in that section looks murky and polluted with all the boat traffic.

They take all everything that they pull up and kill the crab population. Remember most local places if not all restrict crabbing after sundown.
