Steve-- If I can get one good photo in the next day or two that would be great...but the files need to be 1 MB or larger. Anything less than that won't be sharp enough for publication, unfortunately, unless they really decrease the size. D-O-D--If I could do that (pass off the 22), I'd use my...

I'm in need of a high-resolution digital image of a 16-footer shot in the Northwest, B.C. or Alaska. I recently completed an article for Fish Alaska magazine about boats for Alaskan waters, and the 16 was mentioned by people I interviewed several times. Unfortunately, the factory doesn't...

Two observations-- first, you really should get a color unit because the definition and display are so much better, especially in low-light and saltwater situations. Second, I would get a unit that also has GPS. While you might not want it for mapping or finding your way back, it's a great way...

My son and I fished Admiralty Bay on Whidbey going 4 for 5; unfortunately, two of the four were chinook. The other two were pinks. Saw several caught off the beach and one other in a C=Ranger.

Not having anything to do with my C-Dory, but associated with the fog and heavy waves the Lori Ann experienced on Thursday-- a 30-foot whale watching boat left Port Townsend yesterday morning, cruised through the fog at a reported 20 knots and hit some very heavy seas... Apparently, they poked...

There was talk of closing Area 9 for kings as of today, but there is still some wiggle room. Here's the release from the WDFW site: July 30, 2007 Contact: Steve Thiesfeld, (360) 902-2715 Chinook salmon fishing in Marine Area 9 remains open; fishery managers to assess catch daily OLYMPIA –...

Fished Midchannel Bank last Friday for one 12 lb. king; headed over the Whidby after the bite died for one released blackmouth and one takedown out in silver-land that turned into an LDR... This morning off the beach heard about a guy just around the corner who released a wild 20-lb king while...

That was my thinking as well...that it would work. I did a search after I posted, and it came up with a similar thread with conflicting results. Certainly, testing it would be the best way as I have an extra transducer kicking around. As an FYI-- the unit I'm using is the Humminbird 917, and...

I'm having some interference and other problems with my depthfinder. Part of the problem is the transducer location. In thinking about this, I've noticed a small depression around the drain plug/bilge pump area. Is that clear fiberglass? If so, I could shoot the transducer through the...

Midchannel is supposed to be hot with some decent-sized fish. However, after a late start and a longish day, we didn't touch one--lots of birds and more seals than I thought lived in Puget Sound, so there should be fish there. Talked to several boats on the water, including the C-Dory Sunfish...

I'm not sure if this is the proper section or not, so please forgive me if it should really be down in the electronics section. I'll start off by saying I have done a search, and the search raised an option I haven't thought of... The former Nancy H (we're waiting for the boat to pick her own...

Sneaks-- You might be better served if you stood on the cavitation plate and used the tilt function on your motor to give you a lift onboard...I know a guy, a pro walleye fisherman in the Dakotas, who fell in cold water while fishing alone. He couldn't get back in the boat until he got the idea...

Finally, the boat formerly known as Nancy H is in her new home. I can breathe a sigh of relief, not that there was any stress or doubt involved. Larry and I concluded our business in late October, and then there was a wait for motors (I put a 90 and 15 Suzuki on at Master Marine in Mt...

As an FYI, unfortunately, I can't attend the SBS and attendant dinner events this year as planned. And it was to be our first C-Brats event, too. I have to work Friday too late to make the gathering, and Jennifer has to work Saturday. I might be able to make it over for the show during the...
