I get my boat trailered over by a boat moving company it works out to be a little more exspensive then the ferry but I look at it as supporting the local economy instead of our crooked government and no ferry lines or wait times,Ill hit pac net and twine in steveston tommorrow thanks for the info Trophy Wife very much appreciated maybe we will see you in Bamfield???

I have a 24ft grady white and he charges me just under 300 from nanaimo to port alberni his name is don hes a great guy,super good at what he does,the # is 1-250-730-1259 or 1-250 758-7511 tell him Paul gave you his number well worth it not having to take the ferry .

ferry from nanamoo to port????,lol....just askin....holmes*

That's what I was trying to figure out. Does he mean from Horseshoe Bay?

 

[tightlines]

I assume he skips the ferry and instead drives his own boat across the straight to nanaimo. Then the trailering company takes him and his boat to alberni.
Seems like a decent idea that probably saves a lot of time and hassle.

For the folks that have run for them before. What rods, reels, and line are you using?

 

[Osama Bin Hopper]

Thats all great advice on moving boats... maybey could start a thread for it!

We tuna hunters really don't care about that.... we care about Tuna!!!

Sculpin we are using hali rods and reels. Spool as much line on as you can - they can empty a reel so fast you won't believe it. Braided 100lb test on the reels.

Not going tomorrow, gonna go Thursday instead.

OBH or any of you other tuna hunters ... I have the next week off work and would be keen to get out there and try chasing a tuna or two. If anyone has a spot open, PM me!
