I keep afloat one of those sad-butt older boats =17'Campion( but with excellent electronics and engine). You know, the guy that tows you in
when all your fancy electronics run down your battery?
I have manual riggers. Now there is a Sportsman for you!
(You commercial guys are exempt from this criticism.)
In my opinion, because I'm too cheap to spout for electric riggers, a "true sportsman" has manual riggers thus giving a fish an honest chance.
I figure an honest fisherman, using Sooke as his home base will catch more than he and his kin can eat in a year without trying too hard.
So therefor, anyone who uses an electric downrigger is wealthy or not cheap(like me)or lazy or old and infirm.
You catch a big fish, in a rip tide with manuals, with 2 rods out by yourself and tell me you did not earn your fish.
You guys with the big Gradys need not reply.
