(Waterball) To think some dogs spend their life on a chain.....This one must be a princess.

(Waterball) First Halibut of 05, the dogs happy too!

I've found weather in South Central Alaska to be like Dan said in June to be very good. I usually tell friends and relatives to come up in July though. The trees and wild flowers tend to be in bloom at this time more so than May and early June. If you come up you'll have to make a stop in...

Keep em coming....I love reading about fishing. I have always been an advocate of jigs and I usually do that w/o any bait at all. I normally fish 180' to 240' of water on a shelf where the depth changes rapidly from say 60-80 fathom to 30-40 fathom. I like holding the rod and especially...

Thanks for the advice I'll have to check the drain plug out to see if there is any water penetration there. BTW I have only one drain plug, did they change to two plugs at some point? Are you talking about the drain holes from the fuel tank area? The boat was repainted 3years ago and I'm...

I found a small crack in the rear deck of my 81' 22 classic this spring. This boat as far as I know has been in Alaska for all of its life. The glass and core was wet in about a 4-5" area. I firstly ground the gelcoat away from the bad area away until I was away about 2" out from the visible...

Amazing Day for April!

I'm probly way off the mark on this but my opinion is that there are some really cheap alternative to a permanent seat. A folding chair works really well and if you don't need it you can stow it away in the V-Berth. I like not having the weight all the way in the stern too so having the...

I think the least expensive part of the camper is going to be the support poles. I'd go stainless and 1". You never know when you are going to be hit by a wave or have someone lose footing and fall into it. The fello that did my top recommended it and the cost difference at the time was small...

I'd like to hear from some anglers on their Halibut stories, good fishing spots, and general theories on how to catch the flat ones. I've got some charter experience but one thing that I know to be true is every fisherman has his or her own method. I'm more of a simple fisherman, like to put...

I'm by no means an expert but a friend of mine does fiberglass work and I recently watched him do some work on his Osprey. He was changing the i/o diesel to twin 4 strokes and needed to fill the holes from the outdrive and bolts. He used marine grade plywood to fill the big hole from the...

Glad to see you got the boat out this weekend Wade. Took the Waterball out Sunday for her first cruise of the season. I was all fired up to get a windlass last year and after doing the bouy and ring method for hauling the anchor I decided it was money best spent elsewhere. I will say that its...

I've never been much for superstition.....but I have to admit that I would be alittle hesitant to change the name of my vessel. After reading the denaming ceremony on the site I was reminded of a story. A whale of a story at that. Jon 1: 4-16

Congrats on the new C-Dory Wade. Looking forward to a summer of good fishing. I hope the new boat treats you as well as mine has. Shaun
