Hi Guys, Last year I moored my boat for a month and a half. This year I'm going to Moore if again, so I figure I had better get the bottom done. But this is new to me. Can anyone make a recommendation on where to have it done, what I should have done, how long it takes, and roughly what if...

Hi Everyone, Well I just pulled Mariah out and am getting her ready for another season. I want to give her a new enclosure this year. What is everyone's experience with Sunbrella vs Top Gun fabric for the dodger?:cool:

Hey everyone, I need some help. The last few times I've been out we saw a bunch of whales out in front of Sooke. I have been told they were Grey whales by some, and Humpbacks by others. Which is it?

Hey everyone. I have an old vintage Philco fridge (the type with the rounded corners). Needs to be cleaned up a bit, but last time I checked it was still working. I know guys have converted these into smokers. If anyone would like it, it's free to a good home. Actually a friend of mine has...

Hey guys, This may have been covered in past forums, but I can't find it. So sorry if this is a repeat. Does anyone know a good place in the Victoria area to have salmon canned? And maybe smoked and canned. I found St Jean's in Nanaimo, but if there's a good local place, I'm in. Any...

I thought I would see if this thread takes off. This is a thread for people to share tips, tricks, and shorts cuts. Here's and example: I don't have a wash down pump. Until now, what I have done to get blood and slime off the decks is sluice it down with water, wipe it down with a sponge...

Hi everyone. I need to replace/rebuild the axle on my 87 Caulkins trailer. Princess Auto does not stock one that would fit. Can anyone suggest a place to have one build, buy one that fits, or will be build mine. Thanks, Darren

Hi everyone, Now that the good weather is here I am going to take off my Dodger canopy. While it's off I wanted to have it "freshened up". It needs a few new snaps, a new plastics window put in and a few holes patched. Vs anyone recommend someone that does canopy work. I'm looking for...

Hi guys, I'm just wondering if there is a general chatter channel on the UHF. I know 16 is for help and Coast Guard monitors. Any other channels to listen in on? Poet1971

Hey Everyone, Well Sunday was a little rough. The short story is that I had to come off my anchor system, and had no motor to get back to it to recover. A buddy of mine went to look for it on Monday but couldn't find it. Either the scotchman was under, or someone picked it up already. I'm...

I just wanted to start a thread to see how the season is going. I'm not looking for spots and secrets, just a place for bragging. I went out yesterday and got a 25 lb and a 75 lb. great day! Who else wants to bag?

Hey everyone. I melted a bunch of lead today to make downrigger balls. Rather than buy, I thought I would see if I could borrow a cannon ball mold for 12 and/or 15 lbs balls (preferably finned). Since they are pretty unbreakable, I figured it would be something we could loan around. Along the...

Hey everyone. Just wondering if anyone knows where the crab are around Victoria. I want to drop my traps next week and I'm looking for the best place to drop them. Tips?

Hey everyone, I just got my first boat and am new to a few things. I have done some crabbing before and know that Pedder and Sooke harbor are good spots. I dropped in Pedder Bay last weekend and struck out. What is anyone hearing for crabbing spots? Also, I have never prawned before...
