    Sockeye Fishing on the Taku river

    Spent a couple of days up the Taku river gill netting sockeye and it was the best fishing we have seen in years. 4 Permit holders limited out in 2 hours and all of the sockeye were 8 - 10 pounds (hogs for sockeye). Kind of nice to have a healthy fishery around with all of the poor fishing this...

    Great day of boating; anyone else?

    Seas 2 to 4 feet, wind to 15 knots, rain, temp about 50.....this is why I live here. Fired up the diesel stove and went whale watching; saw 11 Humpbacks including three resting on the surface that gave a good show. Sealions galore, seals, Bald Eagles, Marbled Murlets, and Dahl's Porpoises. Not...

    Discovered exact paint match for Classics hull Colour

    Among many projects on my newly purchased 81 22' Angler I found that Interlux 108 Hatteras Off-White is an almost perfect match to the older models hull colour. I used it to paint the rear bulkhead and it looks like it came from the factory that way (the DecaGuard had been painted flat black by...

    Drip Pot Diesel Stove

    I just bought a 1981 22' Angler that has a stainless steele diesel fuel tank mounted to the aft starboard bulkhead and gravity feeding a pot belly looking diesel stove. Its a very efficient and professional installation and it looks like a dealer option for the PNW. Can anyone tell me any...
