For those who are looking to get into sum-mer fishing this year, the best bet to look for a boat will be the Mid-Canada Boat Show, taking place this season March 3 to 6 at the Winnipeg Convention Centre.

But even before then, shoppers will begin looking for the right vessel.

“People pretty much start looking for boats after the holiday season settles down,” Ronds Marine sales manager Jeff Snowdon reports.

For new and experienced anglers, a proper fishing boat will be a priority. Snowdon com-ments that 90 per cent of the time, a fishing boat will be made of aluminum and have amenities such as vinyl floors, rod storage, trolling motors (as well as being outboard, allowing for more room in the cockpit) as well as pedestal seating.
