Hey gents, I was asked by a friend for some ideas on the placement of the remote throttle for his new Yamaha kicker. The guys installing the motor said that he should mount it on the angled fibreglass directly above his main throttle. But the problem, aside from looking ridiculous and out of...

Hey guys, I'm trying to identify some new halibut spots to try out and I'm wondering if there are any unwritten rules with regard to the type of bottom i should be searching for to find the big flatties. I've identified a few spots that look promising to me but they are all different types of...

Hey gents, I'm a right hander who prefers to reel with my left. I guess I like holding my rod with my stronger hand (no jokes please:D). I use an MR3 set-up lefty for salmon and I'm currently using a Shimano TLD 20 on my hali rod. But, I find it kind of awkward to use. Just wondering if...

Hey gents, I've got a small fiberglass tender which has wood planks for seats. I noticed that a couple the boards are a bit lose. Is there an easy fix to tighten up those screws? I was thinking I could just fill the holes with something to hold the screws more securely. What should I...
