I had an inshore masters and near coastal 50 ton license and spent over a decade running charter fishing boats in AK. Those credentials help me pay for the kids college and his first house :) In 2020 I didn't renew for a variety of reasons, retirement, cancer and not wanting the possible...

that's why you use gangion for heavy duty applications

a pair of heavy duty zip ties hold pretty good for most applications. In AK where we regularly anchored in 200' of rough water we used gangion with several wraps

50' of chain is nice to have on the Columbia if you're fishing. with that chain you can have that anchor on a short leash when parked in hog line. be sure to rig your anchor to break away. Here's a video on rigging a break away, he's using one zip tie, you need at least two to center the...

6" would be pretty tight. I just measured center to center + a little extra to keep the handles from tangling..here's what I got- Shimano tekota 500 salmon/rock fish reel, 7-7.5" would be a good dimension big penn sturgeon/haiibut reels 8" it's plum aggravating to have to clock all your reel...

Boating, fishing, camping and any other kind of recreational activity is supposed to be fun and enjoyable and everybody is intitled to their own levels of comfort. I find that the older I get the less tolerance I have for bouncing around. Years back the kid and I used to hang out in Illwaco and...

www.zampsolar.com makes a lot of different configurations for RV's, you might take a look there. We have a pair of their 170 watt panels on the roof of our camp trailer and a port to plug in one of their portable suitcase type models if we need more watts....they all seem to work

If you ever find yourself in Bend or Coos Bay/Charleston Marina in Sept you'd be welcome to have a look

77% full :) I've been watching it too. It's been years since we've been over there and years since it had much water in it. I thought later this month would be a good time to make a return visit....but..I just received a piece of mail from the Deschutes County court informing me that I'm in...

I've been pondering on that same thing. It would sure be slick for jigging rock fish and kokane and maybe even work as a bow thruster if there was a need. I kind of put the idea on the back burner because I don't know if I want to mess with additional batteries and I was waiting for you to...

well..... i'll be......

https://www.sportcraftmarina.com/ sportcraft marina in the Portland area has been in the C-Dory business for a long time. We purchase our boat from them just 22 years ago and had them repower it a few years ago. A number of folks have done business with them, all with good reviews good luck...

we grabbed a garmin inreach mini at costco for use when out of the phone zone. I can see where if a person was needing a new phone that would be a nice redundant system. Here's a cheaper item that falls into the boater must have category. it's a $8 flat sided feed bucket. Cut off the lip on...

with a window of nice weather, I thought we had better get to checking out some of the numerous lakes in central Oregon so we loaded up the crew and headed to Cultus lake. The lake is a bit small but has some nice boat in campgrounds and a nice ramp. From what I hear the place is a zoo with a...

quick limit

Tyboo Mike....crab whisperer. looking good

that's way cool Mike. I'm looking forward to taking grandkids fishing in a year or two.

you folks are killing me, the coho fishing is terrible here on the high desert of central OR....the kid and I are headed of tomorrow for a week at Coos Bay :)

Damn foggy, ya just up and sold the convertible and then the boat. What's next....you where out to dinner with the wife and .... :D

I aint missing being a stupid youth.. I should have directed my efforts towards golf or catching large bass. I do find myself missing the Elfin Cove fishing business...maybe that's just PTSD ClayH, you should grab that Ridgefield spot. Even if you aren't going boating it's pretty entertaining...
