Buddy Boat for Prince Rupert
 

Were heading to Prince Rupert on July 27 to August 4 for salmon and halibut fishing. We were in Prince Rupert last year and did very well with both the salmon and halibut fishing. For the halibut we ran off shore for a ways out but it was worth the ride as like I said we did very well. This year we will pick out one of our days when the weather is in our favor and run out to our hot spot again. We are looking for a buddy boat that wants to travel out with us for the day. I have a 20 ft. bow rider and I cruise at about 35 miles per hour. Leave the dock at daybreak and back by supper time. You will limit out in a few hours.

Well...that's about the most perfect offer I could ask for! Unfortunately me and the wife have plans to go fishing down east during that exact time...lol. would be an awesome opportunity to get some on the water know! Maybe I can out my hat in the ring for a shot next year!

Yes there is always next year. I grew up in Prince Rupert and was a commercial fisherman there for a few years so I know the waters and still have fisherman friends living there for updates on the new gear being used.

I think Sir, that when ice is off, I should treat you to a few days on the water so we can chat A bit more!..lol

Sounds like a plan. I'm just one click away.

Do you see alot of aluminum boats out in those waters or mostly fiberglass ?

I've fished Rupert and Kitimat areas for several years and noticed there are plenty of tinners 50/50 possibly even more tinners than glass. Not that I've counted or surveyed just an observation of typical sporties.

I agree. probably 1/3 of the commercial boats and half of the sport boats are aluminum. Days of the wooden boats are fading out. It's not the material of the boat that makes a safe boat as much as it is the skipper of that boat. Go with the weather.
