Fishing Guide is right. The eastern border line for the closed area is Entrance Island. You can prawn anywhere from Entrance to Silva Bay / Flat Tops.

Absolutely correct. Flat tops are south of entrance island just above Silva Bay. Back to my question. Anybody suggest somewhere to find dungeness around there?

You guys have been talking about having gear stolen. I spoke with a Sechelt friend about it and he mentioned that his two brothers ere fishing herrng off Nanaimo and they put out some prawn gear. They came on someone lifting it but were too slow to catch him. Funnily enough they saw him the next day picking up someone else's gear and this time, as he was mid pickup, they were able to get alongside. Their gear was still in his boat. They took it back. I've asked him to get a description of the boat and the thief and I'll post it.
Cheers


They took pictures.
