Where I'll be for 2013
« on: April 10, 2013, 12:35:30 PM »

A Very Good Buddy of mine encountered a situation that precludes him from running his charter business this coming season. He has asked me to take over the helm for the 2013 Fishing Season, and of course I readily agreed.

So, for the upcoming season I will be running his newer 2510 Proline - a Very Well Appointed rig with all of the latest Bells & Whistles and designed explicitly for Safe & Fun Fishing Excursions off Vancouver Island's West Coast.

Here is a Link to the Company Website, Moonsnail Charters, once again based in Ucluelet where I know the waters so well: http://www.moonsnailcharters.ca/

This is shaping up to be a Great Season off our West Coast! Already predictions of Massive Returns to the Western US have begun to materialize, with higher than expected early catches being recorded in many systems. The mighty Columbia alone is expected to see nearly Seven Hundred Thousand Springs and Half a Million Coho return over the late summer and fall months ( http://www.oregonlive.com/sports/oregonian/bill_monroe/index.ssf/2013/02/salmon.html ) and each and every one of those fish will be finning their way to our Most Excellent Feeding Grounds to fatten up for the final stages of their journey. Combined with the expected increase of local stocks, they will certainly be proving some Excellent Fishing Opportunities for those who wish to get in on the FUN!  ;)

Halibut numbers are calculated to be much the same as last year, but we can expect to see an increase in size due to another year's worth of pounding on more weight!

All in all, the Opportunities for Action are looking STELLAR for 2013! I am Pleased to be able to help my Buddy out and hunt the grounds I have so much familiarity with!

Hope to see some of you out there getting in on the Excitement!!

Looking Forward!!

Cheers,
Matt

Just an FYI:

The server that hosts the Moonsnail website has crashed. We are of course still around, but with the vast majority of the season already booked, I don't know if the site will be up again any time soon. There are but a few days left, but feel free to shoot me a pm if you're interested. Never know, just might be able to sneak you in...  ;)

Headed out to Ukee today. Servicing the boat, readying the gear, and starting the season off next week.
Already some great fish coming in, and getting better each passing day!
Suspect we will indeed see more than our fair share of Biggies this season!  ;)

Damn near completely booked now, but the odd spot scattered over the summer still left that I'd consider dragging another from here along for.  :)

For those already booked, Fasten Your Seatbelts! It's going to be a FUN Ride!!  ;D

Just back from Ucluelet for a night. Spent the last couple getting the new-to-me ride ready to roll and she certainly is a SWEETHEART!
26 feet long, 10 feet wide, with 350 ponies on her stern! Very Well Appointed for The Hunt in our waters!  ;)

I'll be headed back tomorrow for an offshore run the day following. Already some damn nice fish wandering up the docks! But wanted to fire up a couple pictures of The Chariot for you to gaze upon...







Tight Lines!  ;D
