    Victoria Reports 2015

    That wild fish just looked so pissed off for biting the spoon, so I let him go! I believe it's 1 wild and 3 hatchery retention west of Race, but I could be wrong. Tomorrow I'm going out to the USA border off Race. Big fleet of Yankee boats out there, they are all talking on 68

    10 day long range trip

    My Buddy did that trip a couple years ago. He still talks about how much fun it was and the fishing was crazy good. He was amazed at how efficient the deck crew is and how some anglers stayed on the cap rail all day. You are a lucky dog!

    Fuel use betwen PA and Bamfield?

    Damn I'm an idiot! I thought PA were the initials for Port Angeles, WA. Now I realize it was for Port Alberni. Apparently I've been looking on BloodyDecks too much. My apologies.

    Fuel use betwen PA and Bamfield?

    I run Victoria to Bamfield in August it's 107 miles dock to dock. I have a 24 seasport with a 5.0 Volvo duo prop, it's a 5 hour trip and I burn 50 gallons one way. Fuel pricing in Bamfield was between $1.40-$1.45 per litre. I think you are being ambitious for a one day trip. The "motel" in town...

    WTB: Cheap Yamaha T8 with power tilt. Blown motor?

    The original power tilt on my 2008 Yammie failed last year. Got a Yammie replacement, it failed in 10 months. NO WARRANTY, even though it was replaced at a long time marine business. I even had the entire circuit tested to make sure there were no underlying problems. It seems Yamaha has a...

    New yellow donut? (scotty weight retriever)

    Commercial trollers use a white donut on their Gurdy lines. I think they were porcelain. Maybe Noggs needle can confirm, or call and ask Campbell at Trotac in Victoria. Derby up at Pacific Net & Twine in Parksville/Coombs will know.

    Scupper solution

    Just found a $5.00 solution.. It's a 21/2"'poly leaf guard you stick in your eves trough down spout. All you have to do is cut off the flange and add a ping pong ball. I can't figure out how to post a pic.

    Scupper solution

    I've got the factory installed ping pong ball system on my Seasport. It works great. The down side of them are once they close you sometimes have to push the ball back out. I take a pic on Sunday and post it here. You can always call Waypoint Marine in Seattle to get a price or maybe the Port...
