    Blue lingcod

    1 out of every 3 I catch between Newport and Astoria are blue. I have been told it is caused by iodine in their diet. I have heard old times say the blue ones taste better, I think I agree with them.

    Trailer Bearing Mystery.

    Bearing Mystery. UPDATE.... Schwabs attempted to re-do the job again this evening. They called and told me they found the "culprit".

    Help - Condensation/heather

    I have never understood why so many people are so willing to pay 4K for a heater that is famous for never working. I have been using a mr buddy heater for the last three years. It will heat you out of the cabin, Makes no noise, and starts easily every time. (And yes it is approved for indoor...

    What is wrong with this boat?

    I would be worried for anyone weighing over 90lbs climbing up that ladder onto the "float". I guarantee if I climbed up it, there would be some damage.

    10/15 - 10/29 - 2017 Snake/Columbia River C-Dory Cruise

    If anyone is interested in my 2 cents here it is.... I grew up along the Columbia. If I could choose any month to do this trip, it would be October. September can still be very hot. I don't know what all this talk and worry of rain is about. 2/3 of the trip is the driest barren desert climate in...
