Recreational Prawning

Hello, all Island prawn fishers.
Just a heads up, there have been numerous reports that traps have been raided early this season. Ours included.
Either this is a poor season, or there is truth to be told. One vessel in particular, a 24-28 white SEASWIRL STRIPER, cuddy cabin, hard top, was witnessed hauling gear, on an electric puller, that was not theirs. Last seen docked in Chemainus. There are, hopefully, plenty for all.
The DFO have been notified.
Thanks for reading.
