Fishing boats are available in a wide variety of types and styles, and are categorized by size, design, seating, and the material from which they are made. Each of these things contributes to the type of fishing the boat is suited for, and understanding the different types of fishing boats is important for anyone considering buying a boat.

Aluminum boats usually are available in fourteen or twenty-two foot varieties and can accommodate two or three people. These fishing boats are available in various models, such as flat or v-bottom, with casting decks. Basically the decision can be made based on personal preference and budget.

Recently completing our 10 year anniversary of the inaugural Death Trip a couple weeks ago, we started reminiscing about previous trips. A common theme of unfortunate mishaps have come to the forefront having to do with our food preparation and cooking skills (or lack there of). Being the oldest and the founder of the Death Trips, I am the primary chef on these trips with my #1 backup, Drew. Now, we are no slouches around the campfire when it comes to cooking, but when quantity takes precedence over quality, with up to 8 guys eating, we have had our share of “learning experiences”. Over the past 10 years, we have learned:

The Kenai River salmon fishing experience is a one of a kind adventure. The Kenai river salmon fishing habitat or Special Management Area (SMA) consists of over one hundred and fifty miles of waterways including the main Kenai River, tributaries, streams and lakes. Some of the larger lakes in the Kenai River SMA include Kenai Lake and Skilak Lake, both which provide excellent Kenai river salmon fishing opportunities. The Kenai River itself is eighty-two miles long, emptying into Cook Inlet, providing some exceptional fishing opportunities in the spring and fall seasons as fish gather to head upriver to the spawning areas.

Fishing dates back thousands of years, and little has really changed (apart from the equipment and a some of the techniques); the rules are pretty much the same. If you have never fished before it is a very wise idea to familiarize yourself with some of its dos and don’ts. As fishing is a form of hunting it is important to look after the area you are fishing in, and this will result in a pleasurable experience for everyone involved.

GPS systems have many uses. There are hobby uses such as geocaching, which involves lists of locations where the user can find treasures, which are generally trinkets and other items of little objective value.

Other hobby oriented uses include camping and hiking. It can be a difficult task to determine exactly where the hiker is on the map. The less terrain there is, the more difficult a precise location can become. In a desert it can be very difficult to determine exactly where you are located without spending time to calculate a resection on the map. This can also be an issue in an environment where visibility is low, such as a swamp or forest. There the only real alternatives are dead reckoning or GPS.
