    Where did you catch fish last season.

    Stickers for aluminum boats.

    Hey I have a typical 21 foot aluminum boat. A duckworth. The stickers look terrible due to me and the previous owner "rubbing" the dock here and there. Has anyone ever replace the decals on a hewes or kingfisher? Is it possible? A nightmare?

    Custom stacking rod holders

    A couple weeks ago I was fishing in Bamfield, I posted about it in the fishing report but long story short, I had a rod holder sheer off and I lost a fish, a nice reel and a nice rod.

    When rigging up a hoochie, I usually choose my desired leader lengths. I then tie the opposite end of the hoochie to a swivel. I'm wondering if no swivel would give it better action?

    Spoons big vs small

    Out of all the lures I seem to get the most fish on spoons. Since November I've caught a lot of Chinook on small spoons. But only a couple keepers.
