Went in there the other day by water with my 18 footer and they wanted $12 to tie up for 2 hours. No thanks.

Old thread from 2011

Thanks I should have been more clear. Originally you stated something about an ARPA target near shipping lanes and I was wondering what you meant by that. Did you mean a target that was acquired by the ARPA on your radar? I assume that your Radar gets input from your GPS for own ship heading...

What do you mean by an ARPA target? Thanks for sharing

It's a good idea to inflate them orally once a year then leave them for 24 hrs to see if they leak

Back in the early eighties I was working as a deckhand on a D.F.O. boat and we were out on Swiftsure Bank when the Captain spotted a Washington State registered sport boat fishing. We pulled up alongside and the Captain yelled down from Monkey Island (above the wheelhouse) and asked if the...

Gasoline is volatile and will float on the surface. It is not nearly as damaging as heavy oils. I believe that burning the barge with all the other chemicals it probably contains would be a poor choice. It is likely that the amount of fuel onboard is minimal as it is the end of their season.

Sorry but I fail to see how lighting up the barge releasing toxic fumes into the atmosphere would be a way to deal with this. Never mind the extreme risk of explosion.

My son has been fishing pretty much from day 1. He's 12 now and caught this 29 pounder a few days ago. When he was a toddler he loved to jig black rock fish with his toy spinning rod. He has caught a few monster ling cod doing this. He can run the boat and gear and he launches and lands the...

I would check that you can in fact use the same controls/gauges on a new outboard as this may not be the case. From your description, it sounds like the engine that you currently have may not prove to be reliable. Have you explored the possibility of replacing it with an used outboard, maybe a...

I have the same/similar trim tabs on my 18 footer, they came with the boat I purchased 14 years ago and have never given me any problems. I highly recommend them.

A boat less than 12 meters long does not need to have separate stern and mast lights. An all round white light will suffice.

I have caught (and released) many big lings fishing shallow pinnacles where schools Black Rockfish can be found. I use a small jig like a Sting Zilda to catch the Rockfish and if there are any lings around they will glom on to the hooked rockfish as it struggles to free itself.

Look into having your boat hostled on the ferry (Crew loads the boat onto the ferry). When you tow it on board yourself you pay oversize rates for the truck too. If you have it hostled you pay a small hostling fee, but you don't pay oversize rates for the truck.

If it has an inboard/outboard it might have been the bellows

Looking at he specs it says "1.1 to 1 gear ratio"?

What does the union have to do with this? Transport Canada mandates safety regulations.

When conditions allow I like to kill the motor and enjoy the action.

There is nothing illegal about having barbed hooks in your boat. You just can't fish for salmon with them.

If its on the internet it must be true!
