Trip Summary

Squeezing in a four hour morning trip so they could catch their cruise ship to Alaska in the afternoon, Dominic, his mom Jennifer and father Brian got up before sunrise and joined me on the Fraser River for some sturgeon fishing. They knew that the tides were not really in their favour but they buckled down and had the patience and fortitude to make a day of it. The first fish was a line peeler and Dominic and his dad worked hard to get it to the boat and just before we could get to measure it, the fish pulled off a "Self Release". Dominic got 95% of the thrill anyways. Some patience paid off as we looked for better spots, evaded a tugboat and barge and landed a 4 footer and a rare 45 cm fish. This little fish is the sturgeon fishing future and I am grateful they came on board to help me build up our sturgeon data inventory. Well done, and "Off to Alaska!" now. Cheers, Peter Jennifer Kovach Unique, informative, and enjoyable Went fishing on Jul 16, 2024 ________________________________________ Our family of 3 booked this fishing charter the morning before we got on a cruise ship. Peter was fantastic from the moment we booked. His communication was great and we had a game plan for the morning. Peter is a fascinating research scientist and a wealth of information. We really enjoyed hearing about his vast knowledge of the rivers and fish in the area. Our 14 year old son really enjoyed not only catching the sturgeon, but also tagging and measuring the fish. It made for a truly unique experience. We highly recommend spending a day with Peter on the water.
