I have a purpose built downrigger jumper cable that can go from one scotty receptacle on one side of the boat to the other-save those Holy sh*t moments when a fuse goes at 250 feet bouncing bottom. Then you can replace the fuse once everything is safe!!

Purpose built lightweight carbon fibre slow pitch rods are tough and very capable BUT the have a flaw-they can be easily shattered by a knock on a sharp edge such as dropping them on an aluminium gunnel-treat them like glass-lay them down carefully or put in an upright rod holder.

Always look on the Bright side of Life!! LOL

This was not encouraging at all tonight!!

OK-you either have a seal problem or a vac problem. If the machine sounds fine and the gauge runs down to zero and it doesn't vac seal then you have a seal problem -if the gauge doesn't go to zero you have a vac problem or all your timings are out of wack. Try longer on the vac cycle until it...

Make sure your bag is not doubled over beyond the seal bar. Also is your gauge running down close to zero on the vac cycle?

Had an epic- day at the Kitty hump on sun last-working around the 157 spot height probably 12 around the 62cm ish mark and 2 really nice 12 to 14 lbs, Very red-really prime. 250 ft on the rigger with a 20 lb ball and of course contouring up as we came close to the spot height. They had 6 inch...

Sun. picked up a nice 16 at Kitty hump-240 on 3;5 herring aide and a few smalls-lots of bait-alone at Kitty yesterday until a blue bayliner showed at 11. Lots of fish on the high tide-I got 12=my arm was tired all around 2-5 lbs. Very deep on a herring aid colored flashtail-by myself so only...

Really!! Say it ain't so! About a week back you say!

There definitely are halibut in our area but as I tell my wife no concentrations that would make you specifically target hali,s like on the WCVI. I catch 2 or 3 a year because I jig most of the time and they are an incidental catch. You might fish the last spot you caught one and not catch...

Mine is only a 17 CC-wouldn't have handled my old Skagit

I have a front hitch and use it to push the boat into garage-much easier and can do it myself-no divorce worthy directional help needed/ Happy wife-happy life

I have had good luck with amundson tx 5's. Parts are great from vancouver-easy to deal with and I like the new drag system. Good price point

Always wear my mustang inflatable if not wearing my mustang floater coat-least you can do for your family-no body is a pain in the a** for your estate and your family. They don't need the bureaucratic nightmare no body causes as well as your loss

You forgot -when fishing in a crowded area by yourself-try to look nonchalant-keep the net hidden-keep the rod tip low-try not to stand-never never stand or give any indication you have a fish on-do not scream or shout.-net it quickly-get your gear back in.-Stealth is the answer-then the crowd...

Back in 2018 while still guiding I had to replace my 2003 9.9 yamaha kicker. That is the one that was really a 15 hp. Boat Skagit Orca 24xlc. I was at Westview marine and had to get a zuk efi 20 -4 blade. I was pi##ed!! I thought it was overkill. quite the opposite-it handled the boat fine but...

I feel 3 things are wrong-(possibly)-I always use non-iodized pickling salt or sea salt. - you have a very low sugar to salt ratio-4 or 5 to 1 is what I use- alder sawdust--does it contain bark or any other wood such as a bit of commercial 2x4-you have to be careful if you are using long smoke...

I hope you explained to her about sex and travel!!

I understand where you are coming from-had the same experience many years ago when I first got my 27 ft Orca-with a single main-had a large cabin in relation to over-all length so was very hard to steer in tight to a dock with wind. Embarrassed myself a few times until I remembered my driving...
