- Background
- I grew up fishing on the Fraser River and became a chemical and environmental engineer specializing in environmental forensic research, legislation development and law enforcement. Throughout my life, I have worked in environmental protection and enforcing our fisheries legislation. It is only natural to make my profession my hobby and I enjoy every day out on the water. The truth is that fishing for these "Fraser River Marlin" as they are often called requires strength and stamina so it is always good to have others come out with me. I work in support of the Fraser River White Sturgeon Conservation Society, and tagging and measuring these fish and recording their health makes my passengers "Citizen Scientists" as they not only get a thrill of a lifetime but also help us collect the scientific data needed to manage this great fishery. Sharing this experience with people who love to fish and respect our wild heritage is a great way to spend the day. I look forward to meeting you.
- Techniques
- Family Learn to Fish/Picnic Option or Hard Core Sturgeon Fishing Family Learn to Fish/Picnic Option: In the Family Learn to Fish/Picnic option, families with young children (3 to 10 years old) can fish for sturgeon, (usually 1 or 2 hours) and then learn to fish for smaller species and if they pack a picnic lunch or pick a lunch up at a local shoreside bistro can combine fishing with a shoreside picnic. The picnic sites are either a small sandy beach or a campground with picnic tables and washroom. The schedule can be divided between learning to fish and running around and playing on the beach. Hard Core Sturgeon Fishing Option; This is more suited to adults and older children (usually aged 9 and up) who can sit for a longer period till the sturgeon bite comes on. Sturgeon fishing is highly dependent on the tides and is strictly a bottom fishing technique. I will recommend the best time of day to fish and the boat is navigated to likely spots where sturgeon hang out and anchored. One rod per person can be used and up to four rods are cast out at a time if there are enough licensed people on board. Sturgeon fishing usually requires a degree of patience as the bite is often tied to the stage of the tide in the area where we fish. The bites can range from being very subtle to nearly ripping the rod out of the holder but the size of the fish does not necessarily reflect the intensity of the bite so every fish is a surprise.
