Saltwater Fishing
Where Tigers Tread: Ulua Trifecta
By Bluewater Jon Schwartz
Deadliest catch. Palin’s Alaska. Discovery Channel features. Northern Exposure. Flying wild Alaska. Alaska wing men. Shows from Canadian outdoors? hmmm. Survivor man did originate from Canada, but it is not really about Canada. What about Canada’s wild west coast? British Columbia is very similar to Alaska (its the neighbor south) and has much untapped fishing and hunting as well. It doesn’t get all the press however since it is not part of a country with 300,000,000 plus people. So where is the better fishing? British Columbia or Alaska? Well that really depends on what you are going after. There are five types of salmon. The most desired for sports fisherman are Chinook (Americans call them Kings) and Coho (Americans call them Silvers). You can also do trout and steelhead fishing. I will focus this article on salmon fishing. If you want a good resource for all salmon and trout fishing around the world try www.salmonfishingnow.com.

There is a company that really has made a great live scoring program for fishing tournaments. The company name is CatchStat.com and they have created a real time scoring solution that is being used by many tournaments in the Florida Keys, Carribean, Mexico. The great thing about their program is that it is web-based which allows anyone in the world with Internet access the ability to be go directly to the scoring page and know whats going on minute by minute during the tournament. Many teams are also able to access the results from their I-phones, Blackberrys, or from their wireless laptops onboard. The socing site is also great because it has a great layout and I find myself spending a lot of time clicking around it to view the team profiles and fish caught. I especially like the ability to view from the 1st fish caught instead of just knowing the top 10. Their ability to score the IGFA Offshore World Championship and the World Sailfish Championship. Check out their scoring solution because if you are on a tournament board, I highly recommend using their system. They will be scoring the Capt. Bob Lewis Billfish Challenge starting Sat., Feb. 27.
