Just got back from a 3 week fishing trip to Neah Bay. Fishing was generally good although we had a few days with very slow fishing. We started out with very good coho fishing the last week in July fairly close to the harbor. We had to cull about 3-4 wild fish for every hatchery. Most days we...

Tug, Everything I buy lately seems very cheaply made and unlikely to work as advertised. However if you have someone to drive the boat for a few minutes while on plane you can pull the old plug and install a new one without any water getting in. Of course this requires that you install the...

Digger, I am skipping BC this year only because my long-time fishing buddy is away on a summer long RV trip to the east coast. Things should be back to normal next summer. I have never fished out of Poet Nook, although I have cruised over that way from Ucluelet. As I remember, it looked like...

Thanks Chris or Donna? for the info. If I can find WiFi at Neah Bay I hope to post fishing reports daily from camp CAVU.

Starting getting the boat ready for a three week fishing trip to Neah Bay. I will be there from 26 Jul thru 15 Aug. There have been very few fishing reports from the Brats about Neah Bay. Has anyone been out there recently? I will have camp set up a the Cape Motel RV Park if any Brats are...

Welcome Jim and Marti, We are almost neighbors and with almost identical boats. That was a great opening story. We seem to have a large number of great storytellers on this site. Good luck with your C-Dory and hope to see you on one of the cruises.

Tony, I expect your lock is like mine: If the key says Mobella and has a three digit number on it, call 727-531-7779 and you can order spare keys using the three digit number on your key. It worked for my 2002 C-Dory a few years ago.

Tom, I thought when you said "over 200 on a bike" you were talking about doing a double century on a bicycle! 200 miles on a motorcycle wouldn't be much of a ride.

Have to agree with Joe-sounds like a solution in search of a problem. I can't imagine dropping something so heavy it would crack the laminate. Even if it did you shouldn't normally have water standing on the cabin floor. If you should find small cracks in the floor or an area you are really...

Bill, I retired from the Air Force in 1987, so only one more year and I will catch up with you! How about a toast in Sep at Lake Powell?

Steve, can you get the steering cable out of the tilt tube without unbolting your engine or engines? I have the same steering and so far it hasn't given me any problems. I have twin Honda 40's and I don't think I would be able to get the steering cable out without removing one engine. The...

Thanks everyone for the great ideas. I have passed all this info along to our friends. I am sure they will find a great place and have a great time. Thanks again.

I have friends visiting from back east in April and they would like to drive over to the Islands for a few days. Anyone who could advise on reasonably priced small hotels or bed&breakfast type lodging in the San Juans? They will be driving and taking the ferry over. PM me if you can help...

Tried the gravlax recipe just as posted by Da Nag. My filet pieces were very thick so I cut the top part off parallel to the skin to leave a piece about 1 inch thick. It turned out fantastic. I did a 1.5 lb slab which I put out for appetizers at a party and it was all gone within minutes. I...

David, Congrats on the new project. I noticed in one of your posts you mentioned you traveled with the tailgate down? Unless there is some new research everything I have read says mileage is better with it up.

Thanks Bill, I'm ready to start a batch this weekend but my fish pieces are very thick. I would guess that the amount of salt/sugar is dependent on both the weight and thickness of the filet? I will have to do a little experimenting.

Da Nag, I am ready to try this recipe-what was the verdict on the salt/sugar mixture? Did you like the 40/60 blend?

Works well installed between the motors.
