Just got back from our two weeks in Desolation Sound and did all of our cooking on a stainless two burner camp stove. I had a removable alloy arm made which mounts to my downrigger mounts and the stove bolts to this arm so the entire stove is over the side and no closer than three inches to the...

We just got back from our two weeks in the Desolation Sound and areas south of the Brouten Islands. The word is that the prawns were overfished in an extended commercial season this year. We had many pulls in many areas with fewer than five prawns and would have been better off buying prawns...

I would recommend the delta 14# 30" of chain and a new bail. Lewmar makes two that will work. One is a fixed two roller model (long not standard length) the other hinges. The fixed one, which I have, gets the anchor far enough out there so it will never strike the bow, but it does not self...

I have an Iphone 3gs and added Navionics for a few bucks. The phone has a built in compass and GPS and the program is operated with a touch screen and shows tide locations with data. This will be a backup to the hard mounted system and paper charts & compass. Its real nice for planning.

The crew of Capital Sea regret that work and life in general caused out upcoming Desolation sound trip to prevent our attendance at this great event. We will be overnight in Bellingham on Thursday 7/23 and will be on the road first thing to make our reservation on the Tswwassen ferry the morning...

Ken, I do not think that is my issue. My unit is a raymarine C120. I had a chip for the Puget Sound and Washington Islands. It is 2MB's. This chip is 128MB's and as I said above, it covered an area of the Columbia between Astoria and Portland shortly after I purchased it. Then, last weekend that...

THT ?? no lo se

I have a question. As boaters world was closing down, I purchased a 2nd Novionics chip 256MB said to cover Alaska to Baja. I used it in Cathlamet and had good detail in the river. Last weekend though I could get no detail in the river, though I still have detail up north. So what do I do? If...

By water its not that far but the place has the feel of being 100 miles out as a result of the fact no road goes there and the fact that guest accommodations are limited to somewhere in the range of 30-50 beds over a wide area at the head of the lake. Also, with the lady's of the lake...

Chris, C-Dawg and I were both deploying in less than 20 feet of water and both have more chain than that depth. I just do not think we had spin on the way down or up that explains what he experienced and in my case we are talking about 9-10 revolutions which manifested itself in two kinks as the...

Well C-Dawg, I will not comment on the question of how your winch/wench may be twisting while you remained at the helm, but what I will say is that I have a delta and an oversized swivel (largest pin I could fit into the hole in the anchor), premium line and a V1 windless. As you know, I was...

Have a great trip. We love Stehiken. That place is made for c-brats. A public dock, with a store and bus stop right at the dock. This old bus takes you anywhere you want to go, bakery, restaurants, hiking trail heads etc. Also they offer bike rentals, their is a campground just across the mouth...

Well, this was a fun if small gathering and though I did a small amount of work getting the word out, I have to tip my hat (not so as to expose my hat hair) to TyBoo Mike, who has broken every known standard in terms of the scope of the host task. Fishing advice, with exact detail and custom...

Just a heads up before we head out. I spoke to Jane at the marina and she reserved slips B 40-50 for us so we can go out and stay together when we come back. Also, she thinks this will give us a buffer and low traffic. Will know more when I see the place, but it sounds like she was helping us...

A swim step is a nice thing to save room for. You can get in or out of a shore boat with ease and if anyone goes over the side it will be much easier to get them back in. The step also offers a very good platform for defouling anything that gets in your prop or readjusting your transducer if it...

Do I ask that many future questions? Yes I do. I appreciate the future answers though and will see you Friday or Thursday pm.

Sounds great, we will do some sort of salad for that dock meal thing that is kind of but not exactly like a potluck. We may bbq some fish if we get near any. I will also bring my huge 5 day ice chest which can be locked closed and locked to the bed of my pickup, so if folks do not wish to...

Just then Master Boo raised the bar a little higher. Please teach us oh sturgeon master to snatch the pebble from your hand. I am but only a C-Grasshopper and will come to the mouth of the great river to listen and learn later in this first week of summer.

Our gathering is growing near, so here is some information to help you plan your trip. Despite Tyboo Mike's long hours of late, he has passed on some information that may help some with planning. I will try to do a good job of presenting this here and welcome any corrections or suggestions. As...
