The always lovely sea goddess Kathleen and I have been gearing up for a couple weeks in Desolation Sound in the mid July to mid August time frame. Now we are talking about spending 4 days or so fishing out on the West side at the end of our trip. If we Ferry and drive to South of Port Hardy as...

What we as a boating community should do is head up to Quatsino Sound on the Northwestern end of Vancouver Island where the fishing is as close to the good old days as can be found and remains within reach. Salmon fishing in the western states is going to continue to see less fish and a greater...

I have the new Honda90 and a 9.9 kicker. Twin 40's or 45's are also a good choice. The fuel economy with these newer outboards is very good and the place C-dory's fills is all about fuel economy and versatility. Dropping from a 90 or twins down to a 70 or 50hp would make the boat very hard to...

Dusty, I had dinner with a couple BC fisheries people and they were talking about an inlet or sound near the North end of the Island on the west side. They said the road is not bad, their is a lodge and you can fish in protected waters, with some of the best BC salmon fishing and much lower...

Merv, is there a launch at the base of the town near the dock? The ramp I remember was West of there by a rustic campground and looked like it catered more to paddlers. It had no dock associated with it.

Not being on the boat, all I can do is speculate. We have all experienced the effects even smaller swells can have in those instances where the bow lands in a valley just in front of a swell. This was a collision of factors to watch out for even in my Arima with its deep V hull. You could be...

If you are looking for a spice rack or two, I would suggest visiting your local home depot and looking over the oak project board rack. With a chop saw, brad nailer and glue, you can make a very nice spice rack or three with turned spindle sides and do the whole project in an afternoon for under...

You mean a crows nest equipped with a CO2 powered casting cannon, so you can troll while at anchor.

Popeye likesk to sleeps in his hammock. Toot toot.

Retriever, like I said we are undecided which ferry and drive combo will precede our adventure. I have been to Lund before and camped in Powell River. Our trip was in the spring and we checked out the waterfront and ramp in Lund. To be honest, we are pretty sure we saw a guy breaking into cars...

You do nice work and have many interesting dockside conversations in your future. The first thing that came to mind for me was the roll cage on those mini dirt track race cars. Also, you may want to invest in a hammock now that you have a place to hang the 2nd end.

We are going to Desolation Sound and a bit North of Stuart Island for 16 days end of July and beginning of August. Not sure yet if we will jump off at Lund or from the Vancouver Island side but our plan is to drive and ferry past the open water and more crowded waters.

In reading the Cathalametstan bylaws I note that you must fish if you intend to partake in happy hour back at the dock. Can this be amended by a simple majority of those present at any regular meeting?

I am building a bookshelf just to store the Tech info related to the springer fishing derby. Between now and then I will be taking a sewing class and getting a loan for the new gear I will need. Didn't sleep at all last night as I was running through the set up for each tide situation. Elastic...

Test? I move that we hold the exam out on the water. The class will be graded based upon its collective results. Each one teach one is the key.

California has issues with the water drawn from its rivers and deltas, Oregon and Washington have issues with hydro management, all three states have issues with Ag and growth. The lower states, Canada and Alaska all have issues with what we dump into the water and logging practices that silt in...

Hmmmm? Not sure if I will go that way or not. After I get the holes cut out and drilled and can set the upper unit into place, I will just need to see what makes sense. It may be that enough of the base sits on the raised area so that filling the lower area and the valleys between the texture...

Thanks, been shopping and just need some decent daytime weather. So what do you use to grind down the texture in order to result in a flat area and not scar up the textured surface outside the windless footprint?

Yup, its the oil revenue from federal leases. Alaska, would be easier to respect as a state if they would cooperate with the West coast and Canada on salmon policy and invest a reasonable amount of that Oil Rev on Salmon stock restoration..

Seawolf, bringing in the ad is a good idea, but one point I was making is WM has stopped adding in the freight. In the case of the price quote I gave them, I pointed out that although freight might be a factor, I would not have to pay sales tax and it took about two seconds for the assistant...
