Only 40# of fishing gear? Are you really even trying??? I guy needs 8-10 rods and reels minimum (and that's just on the boat). Then at least 25 different flashers, 20# of lead weights, 117 different spoons, 15 different divers and don't even get me started on the number of squid/hootchies and...

When will Mike and Will be offering the C-Brat branded aluminum foil hats? I think we need some.

Charlie (CaptainsCat) had his on a a boat lift in the Chesapeake bay.

One addition. Depending on the type of vaccine, the vaccine will do more than just produce antibodies. Vaccines can also induce specific T-cell responses that will help fight the virus. The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) and the adenovirus vaccines (J&J + others) will also generate good...

My day job is as faculty member in one of the top 10 microbiology departments in the world. While I don't have "first hand" experience with that treatment, I have read the scientific literature related to it and I just got done teaching a course the was entirely a lay audience view of SARS-CoV2...

And you remind me of why I rarely visit the C-Brats anymore. It's really mostly you.

Not really. In all clinical trials or drug/vaccine roll outs there are always examples of "adverse events" that are time correlated with administration of the drug/vaccine in a small percentage of people. In clinical trials, there are placebo controls and it's easy to tell if the cases with...

I've had similar discussions with religious individuals (including relatives). I always point out that homosexuality occurs throughout the animal kingdom. Hence if one's definition of "natural" is things that occur in nature, then homosexuality is indeed quite natural. People confuse "most...

Science will also tell you that those are not the only combination of sex chromosomes that occur naturally in the human population. XXY, XYY, XXXY all occur in frequencies of 1 part in a few 1000. I knew an individual who was XXY and who had both male and female parts. He both identified and...

As long as you don't use the same password for C-Brats as you do for other web sites (and in particular other sites with financial connections), you should be OK. For sites like the C-Brats, I use "throw away" passwords and don't care if the passwords are compromised. For all financial sites...

If you are coming from a place with a sling launch and going to a place with a sling launch, a flat bed trailer with cribbing and or heavy foam support underneath might be the best option.

I switched my macerator pumps over to the Whale Gulper Grouper pumps several years ago and have never looked back. They pump a bit slower than the Jabsco macerator pumps but they have lasted WAY longer. As I indicated in some text messages between Joe and I earlier in the year, when I had the...

I love the Ocean Sport Roamers but they are priced about 2x comparable boats. It's really hard to find a reason to justify that premium.

I don't think it's that simple. I think that in general most people are unable to effectively do cost/risk/benefit analyses. E.g. people frequently underestimate risk about things that they are familiar with (driving a car, fire etc) and overestimate risk for things that are unfamiliar or less...

On thing that you can do fairly easily and cheaply is to hardwire it directly to a portable 12V battery. If the problem persists - it's in the unit, if it goes away, it's someplace between the unit and the battery in the boat.

You don't need internet or cell signal except to initially load maps on the iPad. You do need a cellular capable iPad to get the GPS built-in as the GPS does't come with the non cellular iPad (although it can be added with a 3rd party device).

And if the wife didn't want a boat, you could look for both a new boat and a new wife simultaneously - at least that's how some guys might play it.

"Unequivocally' true?!? Not on a Tomcat!

I've fished the Tomcat in the ocean since I bought it - I think my first fishing season with it was 2011. I usually fish out of Neah Bay in late June - early/mid Aug. and Ilwaco there after. We've been every place from 80 miles off at Barkley Canyon to Swiftsure, Blue Dot, and well offshore...

The asymmetrical hull design has some advantages. From the web site of Aspen - "The 28′ C90 weighing in at 7,900 labs. cruises comfortably at 16 mph while only burning a stingy 4.6 gph." I'm not going to get that in my Tomcat. That said, I do get an extra 10MPH on the top end which sometimes...
