I went to renew my boat trailer insurance today. The broker said they couldn't renew my insurance because I sold my trailer earlier this year. The trailer is now owned by someone else and is registered by them. I said it's in my driveway still and I haven't sold a trailer in years. They took all...

I'm cleaning up gear and wanted to replace the drag washers with the carbontex washers on all of my shimano mooching reels. I wanted to make sure I had them ID'd correctly as the washers are different. I thought the older reels didn't have the palming ring, but all of mine do. Newer style...

I made my own VTS cable/switch for my f50. I didn't see the need to spend $300 for a switch. My analog tach works fine, no need to upgrade to the yamaha digital tach with the built in vts controls. The switch works exactly as promised in neutral. By using the switch I can move the rpms in 50...

It was a juvenile so probably makes it harder. I've gone through the dfo/washington websites and still not sure. Today I just got the island...

I was by Anvil island last weekend and it looked like a few boats were halibut fishing. I didn't get too close but that's what it looked like to me and halibut looked open if I read the regs correctly? Is there good halibut fishing in Howe Sound? I see there's the sponge reef closures that you...

I've heard there's great prawning around porteau cove. I'll be up there mid august and was wondering if I should bring the prawn nets or if will have been fished out by now. I'll probably bring the 12' aluminum so will be pulling by hand. Any suggestions on where to set traps? There's 200' of...
