Hey all, looking for recommendations for a tablet with built in gps around 8-10" (preferably android) for using navionics on the boat. I have a finder with charts but I like to run a track and mark/note stuff on the tablet and just keep the sonar on the finder screen. My old samsung tablet...

I have two sons, 5 and 8 and they need tidal licenses but do I really need to make individual profiles for these guys just to get them? Is there no family profile or something on the DFO site where I can add kids licenses?

Hey everyone, my wife is taking the kids away for the long weekend (31st to 3rd) so I find myself alone with the boat. I was hoping to get some suggestions on a quick trip somewhere on the island to do some long fishing days (with my luck). I would have the truck and trailer or if I could boat...

I just recently went over all the boat gear to make sure I had everything I needed safety wise after a courtesy stop by the RCMP on cowichan lake which I passed with one warning (no transport canada docs) and I obviously have my general fishing gear organized and complete but I was wondering if...

I was at the Victoria boat show today and one of the aluminum manufacturers had a deck made entirely of plastic or some composit material and I failed to get the name. It was a cream colour and about 5/8" or 3/4" thick and had a textured surface. I have an 18ft hewes with vinyl wrapped plywood...

I tried to resurrect an old thread for offseason upgrades but it seems to have been lost in the forum move so I'm starting a new one. Summer is still here but Winter is coming :). What upgrades & fixes are you folks going to be doing? What would you recommend everyone do or get? My...

What make/model does everyone recommend for a washdown system? I would be just spraying the deck down, washing off guts, debris etc... while out and about fishing. It would be salt water 95% of the time.

I just found this in my dad's old tackle box. Is it fished the same as any other flasher? Worth throwing in the box?

Taken from Facebook, credit to the SAR team. Anyone have more info?

I've had the boat about a year now and she's ready for her name. It's an 18ft Hewescraft aluminum. I want to get a name along each side with a 12x12 logo/graphic on each side of the bow. I'd like to get some recommendations for printing and applying the decals, preferably somewhere that will...

My tackle box is looking a little empty and I want to pick up some staples like 30 & 40lb mono, swivels, clips, downrigger cable (stainless), single and treble hooks, beads, etc... What do people recommend for online retailers? I normally shop at trotac or wise buys but it'd be nice to shop...

My landing net fell out of my boat today out off Beechy head and before I could turn around to retrieve it it was lost so I'm in the market for a new one. Wondering if anyone has one they'd let go for a good price or failing that, what people recommend for a new one?

I thought there was a scotty product that had a dual rod holder with a boom mount for downriggers but I can't seem to find it. Can someone help me locate this or tell me of this no longer exists? I have 2 1106's with single boom mount rod holders but I want to run 4 rods. If anyone has some...

I find myself in need of a pickup for general tasks around the house (hauling lumber, garbage and random large items the wife finds on usedvic) and I thought while I'm at it I'd give my daily driver a rest (4cyl 4runner) and get a vehicle that would tow my boat. I have a 18ft hewescraft with 90...

I recently purchased a new boat, 18ft hewescraft aluminum and for the first time I left it moored at a marina for the sidney derby (about 48 hours) and when I pulled it out and went to wash it I noticed some distinct darker coloration's. Just wondering if this is normal and not something I...

I recently picked up an 18ft Hewescraft sportsman and unlike the old boat it doesn't fit in my Garage. I have room on the side of the house and a roadbase driveway is being put in there now but I'll need a shelter. I have looked at Canadian Tire, Home Depot and Costco and they all have...

I recently got two new electric riggers so I'm parting with my old manual crank ones. I don't actually know the model #'s but they both appear to have 20" booms. One has braid and one has stainless from last season. One has a tilt mount and one has a rod holder mount. I am open to offers...

What, if anything does everyone use to track or log their fishing? i.e. depths, fish type/size, lures, area, tides etc.... Pen&Paper journal? Software? Spreadsheet? Notes on a plotter? Nothing at all that's what your memory is for?

I am looking to pick up 2 of these used, drop me a line if you come across a pair.
