    SEASPORT KODIAK 26 FEET

    Just a heads up. I ran a 26 foot Kodiak for several seasons then traded up to the Seaport Commander 28 a year ago. The guy I sold the Seaport Kodiak to called me yesterday and mentioned he's selling his boat. It's a peach of a boat--has all the bells and whistles. Twin DF200's with 530...

    It’s Almost Like They’ve Done This Before

    Pretty impressive …the take out is mind-boggling, especially for a boat that size and that heavy….. to get it done as quick as they did? Wow

    Hating on Alaskans?

    I know it’s virtue signaling in the rec sector to hate on Alaskans for the way they manage their fish…the steelhead guys would have you believe that the Skeena steelhead have augured into the side of the resource cliff due specifically to Alaskan indiscriminate seining and gill-netting on mixed...

    Thompson River Stories: Share Yours!

    I was talking to a friend of mine today who put alot of time in on the THompson with a guy he knew from the Lower Mainland. We agreed we should all sit down and have a drink some time and talk about those days, if for no other reason then to drill it into our heads that we should cherish what...

    Critique My Suzuki Mounts

    So I finally got a chance to take some pictures of my twin DF300 ventilation plates relative to the hull of the boat I’ve whined in the past about disappointing fuel burn (1.3–1.5 Gph with fuel tanks half full) What do you guys think of the way they are hung on the transom? The guy who hung...

    TRUCKS BOATS AND HELICOPTERS: PART V

    The biggest treat of the trip was being asked if I wanted to take a side trip to Damdochax Lake to help Warren repair the roof of the Telegraph Cabin NO. 5, a remanant of the Klondike telelgraph cabins that began in Ashcroft and went through Quesnel, Hazelton, the Upper Skeena, Damdochax, and...

    TRUCKS BOATS AND HELICOPTERS: PART IV

    So here comes the helicopter part. While in Masset I got internet service and while fiddling around trying to confirm what the river heights were on the Skeena and Bulkley for my trip back towards Hazelton, I happened to see that a lodge on one of the upper Nass tributaries was offering a...

    TRUCKS BOATS AND HELICOPTERS : PART III

    I pulled in to Grey Bay late afternoon and was amazed to see Hecate Strait flat as a duck pond. It had blown 50 knts the night before---crazy! I scrounged up some firewood and put my last sockeye fillet on the barbi..... Not a soul in sight---a gorgeous beach---you can walks for miles...

    TRUCKS BOATS AND HELICOPTERS: PART II

    With all the coho I had hooked the day before on nuclear weapons (spoons) I decided to stick with a fly rod. It made no difference---the dead drifted flies I found in that liquored up fly box were just crushed multiple times during the drift by hordes of coho. It was nuts. THis is the only...

    TRUCKS, BOATS AND HELICOPTERS: PART 1

    And there on the beach a pile of beer cans. Who would do that in such a gorgeous place? And in the middle of the pile, a full box of flies. My first thought was---here's living proof that spey fishing has gone mainstream because now even the slobs are doing it Someone had gotten liquored up...

    Sage CP3113-3–Downrigger Rod?

    Currently using a Sage 3106 that’s gotten pretty beat up... I was thinking of getting another similar rod just to have as back-up So I found a CP113-3 (green) for sale… can anybody comment on how that rod would perform as a downrigger rod? I’m thinking “CP” = center pin ? Also, can a CP rod...

    Question For You Guys Who Made The LiFePo4 Switch

    I have a heavy boat. It is suitably powered but because it’s so stern-heavy it takes a while to get on step and once it’s there, it’s far from fuel efficient Part of the problem is stern weight.. I have a Yamaha T25 and a pair of DF300’s but I’m not going to get rid of any of that weight...

    COST OF 100 HOUR MAINTENANCE

    I’ve always had a bad case of two foot—itis. This itch I just had to scratch over the last ten years was always thinking I needed a bit bigger boat. But now this two-foot itis thing has changed.....I now have two-foot itis for what’s hanging on the transom—-after buying a few boats with...

    LAPEROUSE. PART VII. Laperouse

    Four boats ago, I had a 19 foot Arima. After a ferry ride to Nanaimo and a tow to Ucluelet I spent all my fishing time on a piece of water called La Perouse Bank. It lies approx.. 10 miles off Amphitrite Lighthouse in the Straits of Juan de Fuca, an immense plateau teeming with herring and...

    LAPEROUSE PART VI. Estevan Group

    After heading south from Nepean Rock I finally made a nav decision I’ve wanted to make for years. The weather was clear, the water was flat, and I had a full tank of gas so I motored from the Nepean to the Estevan Group. Here was a nice peaceful bay where I rowed to shore and let the dog do...

    LAPEROUSE PART III. The Rapids

    Before I threw off the lines at the start of the trip I made a nav decision that I would avoid both Discovery Passage and Johnstone Strait. Back in my commercial fishing days I was a crewman on a 50 foot limit seiner captained by a young Tlingit guy who thought waiting for tide changes was for...
