The SeaQualizer
Westview Marina & Lodge
The SeaQualizer was initially designed targeting the Red Snapper fishery in the Gulf of Mexico. The Standard SeaQualizer, with its release depths of 30', 50', and 70', was the answer to the Red Snapper's (and other bottom dwellers) losing battle with Barotrauma and venting tools. After the device was put on the market it came to light that there were many other fisheries that were suffering from the same issues that the Gulf of Mexico was facing. Fish were being brought up from depth bloated and unable to be returned all across the United States & Canada.
The Rock Fish fishery on the West Coast of the country was the first group to come forward and approach SeaQualizer with a need for the device in their area. Rock Fish are caught at a deeper depth than the Red Snapper, so that brought about the need for the Deep Water SeaQualizer. When releasing a fish caught at depth, the fish should be returned to between 1/3 and 1/2 of the depth they were hooked, to be sure of safe and sufficient recompression. With release depths of 50ft, 100ft & 150ft, it gives anglers fishing in up to 300ft of water to return their catch as quickly and effectively as possible.
Everything they have worked for, with their SeaQualizer product, was directed at a way to help ensure that future generations get to experience the same fishing as this generation. So join the movement and start descending. Full product details and demo videos are available on their website, SeaQualizer.com.
We at Westview Marina & Lodge feel so strongly about this product that we have purchased a quantity and are selling them for less than you will pay on the SeaQualizer website. As you will see they sell for $55 US plus shipping & duty fees from Florida. That is $70 CA + fees.
We are selling them for $55 CA or approx. $40 US (our cost) plus $15 shipping anywhere in BC. Why? Because, as always, “it's all about the fish” - this time it’s Rock Fish. You only need one per boat, it clips easily to your downrigger ball for descending, they're simple to operate and they are worth every dime to save these long lived fish.
