The two most important features for me have been the two that I almost didn't get. The floor boards seemed like they took up space but I love them - the wallas stove was a lot of money but I couldn't be without it and its only October.
The one thing that I really thought I needed was the...
Oh yes Brock - and I'd say they should put you on the payroll. That conversation with you in the yard that day played well into my decision to purchase. Are you sure you just wandered by??? Seems a little too convenient...

Hi, This note is long overdue but better late than never.
I purchased my 22 Cruiser directly from the factory in mid August from Scott Mathews. During the many visits I made to pester the staff there, I had multiple conversations with Jeff and also increased Jill's workload in the office. I...
Hi, I fished B10 this last August and had a ball. Family came in from Florida, Arizona, and California to join me. We fished with Dave Perez of Hooked on Fishing who I have fished with many times in various locations and highly recommend.
However, as I wandered the docks behind the Red Lion...
Hey Ross, If you were calling on 16/68 on Saturday, I've got real problems with my 25 mile radio/antenna combo. I was out there getting my kidneys pounded all day Saturday. I need to do a check.
You must have gotten your wood stacked.
Playa? Good on you. I was in Cozumel in March and...
Hi, Spent all day Saturday on the Sound. One of the only fools out there its seems. Picked up on 9 lb. Silver off of West Point at 8:00 AM, at around noon, made the long rough crossing over to Jeff Head. Caught and released on about 4 lbs. Picked up several shakers throughout the day and...
Hey, I'm out for sure on Saturday - either Jefferson Head or West Point. No boat name but I'm Dan and in a C-dory - I'll answer to just about anything. Haven't learned radio manners yet but I'd be real interested in trading info on the bite.
When a cord of wood gets in the way of your fishing...
Hey again, while it appears that our offerings are very similar; are you using herring in any form; whole, cutplug, strips...?
By the way, I'll likely be out Westpoint way Saturday and potentially Sunday as well - monitoring 9/16/68.
Cheers,
Dan
Ross,
Fishing with downriggers; in about 190 feet of water, fishing at about 65 feet. 11" prizm flasher, green/white hoochie. It's tough determining trolling speed with the tide because I'm using gps for speed above land. With the tide I was running about 3 mph above land and against the...
Thanks Ross,
I plan to be out on Saturday - not sure where but most likely Shilsho area if I can get across in the fog. I'm out of Port Orchard / Manchester.
Any tips I can get are appreciated.
Cheers,
Dan
Interesting; I leave them in the water. I don't want that salt to dry inside my engine and figure that as long as they remain wet inside, I have a better chance to flush them clean.
Also - while I do trailer with them up, I wish that I had ground clearance to have them down because there...
Wow! 7 Silvers! I spent all morning around Ballard on Saturday and picked up one nice 9 lb. coho.
Where are you fishing? What are you doing?
Thanks for the report and continued good luck.
Dan
Hi - I have a Honda 9.9 along side my Honda 90. It is a snug fit and must be angled just so to tip it up. But it will push the 22 at 6 mph if it must and will troll all day on a sip of fuel. My only regret is that I did not opt for the duel throttle and while I can steer from the helm with...
I suppose that each manufacturer is different to some degree. But Jim, you may have answered this already but - when you connect the hose do you get water out the pisser port also?
Does your owner's manual suggest this flushing method with the engine running? My Honda manual suggests this...
This is getting interesting; I have hondas and the owner's manual describes the flushing process by connecting a hose to a part that they do not supply and flushing with a hose. No mention of the rabbit ears or ear muffs at all. Now, at the factory, I was told to use the rabbit ears because...
Great dialog! So, the waterpump does not get flushed unless the engine is running and the engine cannot be run using the hose attachment. That makes sense. Now, the hard part is getting the rabbit ears on while hanging over the transom.
Do you feel that running the engines in the tipped up...
Hi,
Just got the Cannons installed and headed out for a day on the Sound - did land a small King and had a great time. I purchased a set of Pro-Release releases and am confused.
Naturally, they came with no instructions except a picture of how to attach them to the downrigger ball.
How do...
