Harvey, great to see you again as well. and for the 25' tour of your buddies boat. That got the wheels cranking on our end. I have not been on here in a while but hope to get back into it more.

I fish mainly the straits (sequim,pa,cq). when fishing and wanting to get out and back I would say I average 20 mph on most given days. that is with a 22' and 90 etec. fishing July-September. some days 15-17 some days up to 27 about as fast as I want to go in that set up. if you do go with a...

sorry posted this then we went to mexico and kinda forgot about it. it wasn't the pawl spring, I worded that wrong on the engage clicker for retrieve or release had a thin metal cover that ran along the side and then tabbed over the release pin that held the spring engaged or not. the wife broke...

Yesterday the spring part on the clicker of the winch failed. never replaced one before, does anyone know what size I should put on it? its a 1989 Ez Loader trailer. the current winch is a 2 gear one but I never used the second gear so looking for a single hand crank. also boat is a 22 cruiser...

I have a 22 for the last 5-6 years and love it that said if I could make a lateral or somewhat lateral move into a 24 I would in a heart beat kids are older, space is a little tight, and the 22 is just too slow offshore for day fishing trips.

yeah next year we will switch from drift to anchor for sure!

thanks for the feed back, good to hear it will work we keep a Danforth as a back up as well and will continue to do so. now we just need a windlass to upgrade from the ez-pull and buoy

So for fathers day my family got me a new anchor for the boat. she got a delta fast set it is the one size up from what was recommended for a 22' boat. Is this a good anchor for overnighting on? we have just been using the Danforth type. we do all of our anchoring in the SJI and straits of juan...

I think I am going to go the new door out of marine plywood idea. as the separation is pretty bad, any ideas on where to locate marine grade plywood in Port Angeles? my concern with a new door was getting the door knob and lock to line up correct but shouldn't be too hard.

So went out to check on the boat after being parked for the majority of fall and winter. Noticed the bottom of door looks to have swelled and started delaminating going up the door towards the door knob. Does anyone know if these wood doors repair well or should I start looking for a...

looks like a lot of fun up there, and perfect eatting butts. one of these days......

i plan to try to retrieve that pot sunday. we had people from out of town that had to get back on the road so couldn't wait the 3.5 hrs for slack. the first two we lost we waited for slack but they were under weight and were gone.

Thanks for the info, been a frustrating year for us out there. Years before we wouldn’t even check currents would just go when it was nice and had good luck with no lost gear. this year we got a current atlas and have been trying to time it to weak current. however 2 trips and 3 lost one was a...
