    Boats for sale

    I am starting to see typical recreational salmon fishing boats( 16-20’) come up for sale at bargain prices ,a fraction of the replacement cost.....package deals of boat,motor,kicker,downriggers,depth sounders,fishing rods and nets...pretty obvious,the poor guy decided the cost of owning and maintains a boat simply wasn’t justified for 6 to 8 weeks fishing a year ...and for every guy selling up his equipment,think of all the business’ that have to be there to support the recreational salmon fisherman...think about that next time you see Justin’s smiling face talking about ‘jobs ,jobs ,jobs....

    the galling part is we all saw this coming,volunteers were doing what they could to support viable stream enhancement,pen raising smolts to put into the system,while the DFO ‘studied it’ just like they did the eastern cod fishery...they still could restore the salmon ,but only with a massive enhancemet hatchery program,proper forestry practices to ensure viable spawning habitat ,preditor control and restricting FN to subsistence fishing on runs that can sustain it ( no selling )which is what should have been in place all along...in the meantime there’s a lot of business’ that will close down
