From what I recall it does not really disengage even on level ground. I use the pin all the time now so that is why I say 'from what I recall'. I use the pin even when backing the boat up at the launch.

I have a Highliner Boat trailer with surge disk brakes with a Titan hitch. It is for a 21 ft walk around. When I purchased the trailer many years ago I was also told that when I back up the trailer brakes would disengage. Well that did not occur and I also have a slight incline to my driveway. I...

Fished Nootka Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Due to the winds, fished only on the inside. It was a grind. With 2 people, managed to come back with 7, but certainly had to put in the hours. All fish on anchovies. 18 lbs the largest.

For work, I had to take in a tandem 16 ft trailer (U-Haul Type Trailer, for lack of a better description) into Zeballos a couple of weeks ago. It took me 45 minutes from the hwy turnoff to Zeballos and I was driving with care. There has been a lot of work done on the Zeballos FSR in recent years...

Was out last Saturday - caught 1 of 11 lbs and released one of 18-20 lbs. This Saturday released one of about 10 lbs. There were orcas at the mouth of Toba yesterday which may have put a damper on the salmon fishing.

Fished Kitty Coleman this a.m. 3 small Chinook - 11, 10, and 8 lbs. All deep 210-230 on the downrigger. Fished mostly by the northerly hump. Plug and Hootchie. Did not see many nets or much action; however the boats are quite spread out so v.easy to miss something.

Fished Nootka Sat evening, all day Sunday and Monday morning. Was not successful. 1 small (circa 6-7 lbs) chinook to show for the effort. Sat - Camel Rock, Hoiss Pt., Cooptee Sun - Cooptee, Burwood, Camel Rock. Caught the small one at Camel Rock Sunday evening. Mon - Tried Esperanza - Rosa...

I was up last Saturday. 2 legal, 3 undersize and 2 oversize. Fished just above the Toba Wilderness Lodge (I believe it is called that). I believe Toba it is more of a May fishery. The only reason I went up there was to show my Dad, who is from the Interior, a new area. I was not expecting much...

Coopte Point (spelled it wrong in prior post). It is located at the mouth of Tahsis Inlet or west of Hoiss Point.

Fished Esperanza, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday (i.e. today). Sunday - fished Pin Rock, Low Rock, 6 Mile Reef and Rosa. Aside from 1/2 dozen small chinook (4-8 lbs), plus some coho and pinks at Pin Rock in the a.m. the other spots did not produce. Did see 1 caught at Rosa though in the afternoon. As...

Fished Esperanza Saturday (Sept 1) and Sunday (Sept 2). Sat: 3 Chinook and lost 1 - Saltry Bay / Rosa Sun: 1 Chinook - Saltry Bay I did not talk to anyone, so unsure how others were doing but did see a nets out, so still a few Chinook around. For us, largest 24 lbs. Others - mid teens. All fish...

Just returned from a 4 day trip (Saturday-Tuesday) in Esperanza. As mentioned in the prior posts, off-shore is where the fish are. Tried a bit closer in - 5 mile reef, the Pins, 50 fathom line where it turns from east/west to south. No luck whatsoever. Ferrer was a bit hit/miss; however this...

Fished Friday and Saturday - slow as mentioned. 3 Chinook on Friday (Cooptee) and Saturday no luck. Hardly saw any nets out on Saturday.

I was at the launch on Monday (Sept 5). Sign said Marina (I take that word with a grain of salt) closed on Sept 6. Fellow behind me told me that they were going to start repairs this week and the launch would not be useable (i.e. closed), which is why he was taking his boat out now. He seemed to...
