Oh ok, last time we talked you you were thinking of getting another boat for the season. But with the economy you were at the point of changing your mind and just waiting till you were finished the Hourston. Wasn’t sure if you changed your mind and got something as your post didn’t say anything about next year.
Anyway I would suggest Sooke if your wanting to be around Vic area. Honestly there is no point in traveling to Vancouver to waist time until the fishery opens if your close to down town Vic. Sooke has better fishing and I would think you would enjoy exploring the coast a bit more then going to Vancouver to waist time. If you need any of the big store amenities. Victoria is right there. Besides Chinook and Coho seems to open up on the west before the East. With that hourston of yours it a true west coast boat and will be in its element on the west.
