Friend gave me two of these in a Christmas basket. At 44g. and 6"s it's a bit much for a cod fly. Stamped Japan. Bucktail? The brown is stiff plastic. Circa 1960's? Any thoughts, gentlemen?

Well, hockey is back and boy did I miss it. Hawks owned the Oilers yesterday in a 6-4 win. Justin Williams fought in the Canes-Rangers game??? There is going to be some weird results I think.

Looking for shells, floaters, or silhouettes. Wouldn't be averse to buying a lay-out blind. Not looking to buy Bicknell's or artsy mantel items. Thanks for looking.

Beware of the inspection hatch in your splashwell. I had hunted high and low for where my 17' Lund was taking on water, to no avail. Didn't leak all the time and then it wasn't gallons but it needed fixing. Found the leak when I plugged the splashwell drains with plastic wine corks and then...

So I'm hooking up the boat yesterday and I pull it by the tongue sideways to get a better angle out of my shop. Moves but takes way more effort than it should. Hmm.. Look under the trailer and the springs have collapsed on both sides. Frame is sitting on the axle bolts. '94 galvanized...

Bought a pair of Amundson Savvy Captain 9' d'rig rods from Tyee marine in Campbell R. Two months later a family member busts a tip. 90 day unconditional guarantee so back to Tyee with both halves of the rod. The NEXT DAY a replacement top section arrives at Tyee. Wife picks it and the bottom...

Boat is a 18 foot '94 Lund. No problem so far but it is 22 years old. Wondering if gas tanks are like water heaters in that after a certain number of years you are on borrowed time.

Anybody else with a horse in the race or is it down to e-man and myself ? Isn't there a Flyers fan around here ?

Spent $79 and got Weber knockoff out of Cdn Tire. It is set into a SS counter top. Alder chips, a chunk of spring and I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Next up is wood chunks. Convenience of propane is wonderful with a young family but as a retired guy I can find the time to wait for...

Like the title says it is time for new trailer lights. LED vs bulb vs build a bar and to hell with remembering to unplug before launching. Leaning towards LED but wonder whether the submersible claims are true in salt water. Opinions, gentlemen ?

Reading the BBQ thread got me thinking about building in brick. I have acres of alder so fuel is easy. BBQ prices are stupid, ie I can think of better places to spend the money, like Panama for February. Anybody built or seen one they liked ? Done some fine fish over alder embers.

So I'm tying up some terminal (hopefully) tackle, respooling a few reels etc and thinking about the last few weeks. Dragging MP15's we took sockeye, a couple of pinks, quite a few coho and a couple of springs. Chum love them. Focus was sockeye but the incidental catch picked up was no real...

The transom cap on my '94 Lund 1750 Fisherman is shot. Corroded through to the point I could pry off a 2" x 4" piece. Plywood transom board was encapsulated in resin. When I scraped that off the ply wasn't punky. ;) I have a call into Howich for a Lund part but given the age of the hull I...

Seahawks vs. Broncos. The line yesterday was Denver 31-28. Hoop that. Seattle 17-14. Defence wins championships. Colorado and Washington have both legalized pot so if you get the score right, you win a digitized doobie. For the non-consumers, maybe Lippy's avatar can spare a smoke.

Is it possible to weld to a riveted boat ? Transom cap on my 18' Lund has been cracked by previous owners over tightening transom bolts on motors and I am wondering about the integrity of the plywood in the transom. Love the boat. Good power and kills fish so I'd like to hang on to it...

Blackhawks 2013-2014 The opener approacheth. :cool: I won't say the "r" word but the Hawks are looking solid. Go Hawks !!

Running out of herring for halibut bait and I am wondering if anyone has tried mackerel. Pretty oily so it should provide a good scent trail. Might be good in the prawn traps, too. Hate buying bait.

356 online , 78 members and 278 non-entities. I wonder what this place would be like if even 25% of them joined and contributed ? C'mon folks, join and get the link to Chelsea Dagger. :cool:

Went prawning today for the first time and it worked out quite well. Much of the gear, bait etc was selected from past posts on this site and the good folks at Redden in Campbell River. Thanks to all. Wondering how people store their 500' of line. For this outing I put one line on a spool (on...

As the Nucks choked and the Hawks continued their rebuild and Boston is done, who is this year's Cup winner ? I'm taking Nashville. Sadly boring, but effective. It seems nobody is a serious fan of the remaining squads so we'll get impartial choices. Right.
