45 minutes of pure fun!! Yeah...Moth Ball Fleet mostly and up thru Montezuma Slough. I live about 5 minutes from the Martinez Marina so the Fleet is a 10 minute ride away. The fishing is hot right now.A 110 incher was just caught last week.Nothing like soaking bait and having the chance to...

Nice pics!!! Those sturgeon are a true game fish. Once you get one you're hooked. I sold most of my trout/kokanee gear and fish them almost exclusivly here now that the Dory allows me too.My boat's biggest is 89+ inches.

They are a must have for me. I sit on the bow when deploying the anchor so they are worth their weight in gold when it get a little rough. The option cost $325 according to the website: http://www.c-dory.com/16%20pricing.htm

My buddy and I caught a MONSTER sturgeon Saturday. What a way to break in the Dory!!! She hasn't brought in a keeper yet but an oversized will do!! Pics and details are here: http://www.fishsniffer.com/cgi-bin/foru ... 1159064435

The deciding factor for me was the overnighting. Having the v berth and porta potti seals the deal. With two people there's plenty of room for fishing.It's when the sturgeon/stripers get pulled aboard you tend to get a lil' cramped. But its something you learn to deal with :wink

I'll keep my eyes and ears open here in the S.F. Bay Area!! Damn that really pisses me off when stuff like this happens!! :evil: I rallied my troops and you'll have look outs in Sac, Brentwood, Berkeley, and Martinez.

Tried out our local fishery this past weekend. Hooked into six shakers for the 5 hours we were out. The biggest was 42" and the smallest being a 12" greenie. The last time out 07/15 we hooked five shakers. We can't seem to find the big ones. They(DFG) discontinued the 46"-56" slot limit so...

I've noticed a tendency to be "tippy" when the load isn't properly distributed. With these boats its easy to load em' up. I think my 50 ETEC runs a 11.75x13. I've gotten a few "that's the biggest little boat I've seen" around here too!!

Thanks for the pic. That's what I was looking for. After careful consideration I'm going to mount em' exactly where they are on "Don Quixote". Anywhere else and it affects my camperback canvas. I knew this site would answer my questions.Thanks to all. 8)

Hey Rich..I can't seem to find your pic your speaking of? Of course its easy to get lost among all the beautiful pics. Tim...my rigs have a 20" boom so I'm good on that aspect. Here's what I have : http://www.bigjon.com/store/list.asp?Su ... oductID=33

Da Nag, That truly is the best idea I've heard of yet. After this weekend's fishing trip I decided I definitely need to utilize some storage space!! After you cut out the floation material to reach the gunnel can you reuse the piece of material? Or re-fill with some aftermarket expanding...

My house is about 5 minutes from the Martinez launch and a 10 minute cruise to the Fleet. Yeah those bigguns like to jump!! Whenever they're jumping they seemed to have lockjaw though. Three keepers were caught of the Martinez pier on Monday so I have to try my luck Saturday. Fishing hasn't...

lloyds....thanks for the all the answers to my many questions....washers it is!! Have fun this weekend....sounds like a blast!! If the sturgeon bite wasn't so good right now I would be able to install em' this weekend .Oh well it'll have to wait till next weekend.

After careful examination I'm going to mount them on the port/starboard gunnels. This seems to be the most logical place. But there's still one problem.....I have "quick disconnect" bases so the rigger slids to the left when removing. So on the port side the rigger will hit the cleat. So I'm...

I was thinking there or on the transom. You wouldn't happen to have a pic would you?

Can anyone show/tell me any pointers on mounting downriggers on a 16 cruiser? Having the sides sealed kind of puts me in a tough spot on where to mount them. I have some Big Jon manuals but I don't know if there going to work. Thanks in advance...

I've used a Danforth for most of my boating in the Bay Area in my old boat. But lately(after this years storms) the Danforth hasn't been able to catch to well in San Pablo Bay(skipping). My neighbor went to a Delta Fastset and he's had better luck with it. I personally just ordered a Bruce...

Don't give up Sam!! It only took me two years and four boat shows to convince my CFO!!! And she's been happy with "HER" decision ever since.

Hey Sam, That was Dale aboard the Fish Wisher hunting for Kokes. http://www.fishsniffer.com/cgi-bin/foru ... 1147202292

That's him alright. Nice guy. Quite the fisherman I here. :wink:
