Ready to fish, I have to wait till half tide to launch from my beach

Sea Mist electronics, DVD for long slow days, xm radio for Mariners Baseball

Sea Mist aft cockpit all clean and ready for work

There is a terminal on both sides of Ketchikan so the haul won't be as bad as it sounds. The cruise around Revilla should be good. New fishery up Canoe Pass should keep fish hitting like the Mariners Ibanez`up near Wrangle. Plenty to offer all the way around POW. By then the silvers should...

Well, seems like even Alaska will be hurt by the reduced wild stocks of the Pacific NorthWest. I copied an announcement for commercial trollers because it shows the allocation for sport fishing. From what I understand, non-resident sport fishermen will be limited to 1 King a day, 3...

My 22 classic came with a 178C installed. No paddlewheel but dual transducer. I've only used the boat for about 6 hours fishing so far because I only put the boat in the water Sunday. In the gps/fishfinder split screen the gps speed is right on for ground speed. Without a paddlewheel you...

I bought the Ace (Brutus) pot puller (Made in Canada) for a friend's boat (I went in half with his wife) as I get to pull shrimp with him on HIS boat and he gets to clean up the mess! The unit has been great. One of the cheapest on the electric market, same speed as all the other sport pot...

Recently, I took a class offered by the University of Alaska called" Business Planning and Management for Entry Level Fishermen." It didn't have the best advertisement so only a very few of us showed up. Greg had come down from Juneau to give this class and looked a little down because of our...

Warning!!! this is serious. Since NOAA has requested endangered species listing (I'm not sure but I think the "Threatened" designation has been over stepped) there is something amiss. Only in ecological emergencies can the Endangered designation be given. That takes some fancy legal footwork...

As Larry introduced me on this thread, I was chartering out of Sointulla B.C. when I met them. I did that for 14 years then a bit of gill netting in Bristol Bay. I'm not sure which was harder work. The thing that gets me in the mood to hand troll is 10.57 a pound in the round!!! Doesn't take...

Larry found the Sea Mist over in Craig last summer and took pictures for me. I was planning on making modifications to my Crestliner to troll and wanted ideas. When the Sea Mist was put on the market in January, I called and gave him earnest money till I could get over to Craig (on POW and...

It is worse than I thought
