    Shoutout to Bryce, and everyone else.

    I just wanted to take a moment to shoutout @bryce who was kind enough to go out of his way and delivered a kicker bracket to me from Port Alberni up to Terrace. I offered him a bottle for his trobles but he declined so I bought him a years membership on the forum instead. Thanks Bryce...

    Im looking to get my whaler from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert. Is anyone familiar with the process for hostling aka trailer drops? There is very little information about it on the BC ferries pages. I sent a request for more information but have yet to hear anything.. Thanks in advance.

    Confessions of a sportfishing wannabe

    Hey guys, the time has finally came to admit.... I'm not like you all. To be honest it was fun to play around and post deals on the buy and sell and have the odd comment here and there, but here's the thing... I don't really "sportfish"! Hell.. I'm a fly fisherman that barely goes knee deep in...
