For those of you having problems with the Scotty stop slipping on the line and not stopping your retrieve in the right place, just put a drop of Gorilla glue on the line under the stop. You'll never have that problem again.

D.D. said"Also keeps you from pulling the absolute last of the gas which is likely to have things you don't need to suck up". I have always thought it's best to keep the gas pickup tube as low as possible in order to take the fuel off the very bottom of the tank. My reasoning is if you have a...

If you are serious about fishing and fish deep water, get a screen with the most vertical pixels possible. Here is an example. Let's say you are in 200 feet of water, are looking for a fish (salmon) that is 6 inches thick and your screen has 400 vertical pixels. That means the salmon will be...

Check polarity of power source at the outlet you are using at your daughter's house.

You can buy sea ice at Merino's cannery. They are open till 6 PM and only charge $1.50 per large scoop shovel. Go to the big door on the street that runs between the charter parking lot and Merino's. They will fill your cooler for next to nothing. For those of you who don't know, sea ice is ice...

When fish farms first came to be, I had hopes that they would drive down the price of salmon so far that the commercials could no longer afford to fish, thus leaving the non farmed salmon to the sports fishermen. Farming does lead to problems in the ecosystem though. The crux of the problem is...

At the height that a transmitter is mounted on our style of boat, you aren't going to be able to see out more than six miles. That is of course, you're looking for other small boats and not a freighter. Big ships will be above the horizon so you'll be able to see them on a longer range. It's...

Just wanted to clarify that Lowrance is really excellent equipment and user friendly. Given what I know now versus seven years ago, I would likely choose Lowrance today. I don't know how the Furuno stand alone sounders are, but you darn near need to be a rocket scientist to use the...

Be careful about comparing peak to peak power versus true RMS (root mean square) power. I believe Lowrance is the only one industry wide that uses peak to peak. The rest use RMS. From Wikipedia: "Peak to peak always produces a higher value than the continuous ("RMS") figure, however, and so has...

I'm disappointed with the 200KHZ beam on the Airmar TM260. It's only a 6 degree cone angle. Doesn't really show much area under the boat.

My tank (on a Cape Cruiser) pitted where it touched a raised fiberglass rib. I'm assuming that fish blood and saltwater hung up between the rib and tank and allowed the salt to eat away the aluminum due to the area being constantly soaked with salt water during the boating season. The tanks...

I can think of a few uses around the boat.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69j_BHcgWfo&feature=youtu.be

A friend of mine worked in the petroleum industry as a chemical engineer when unleaded gas was being introduced. Unleaded cost more at the time. I asked him how leaded and unleaded was different. He said, while turning his hand clockwise, we just shut the valve off that adds lead to the fuel. I...

I understand the hull speed issue. However when I find myself in the bottom of a trough I'll take the extra horsepower to push the stern around and straighten up the boat before the next wave arrives.

Out of the thirty some accounts the Cape Cruiser was sued over, C-Dory only won one. The boats looked similar out the courtroom window 500 feet away. Thus you have the forward facing window in the new Marinaut. Problem solved. All the boats and various models by the different manufacturers are...

Is your water tube plugged up where you're not registering MPH (speed)?

Where's the steering wheel?

Chromer, The guy holding the fish at 2:02 in your video is also in the picture with the limit of kings in Roger's Neah Bay Thread. He's a darn good fisherman. Sometimes fishing can really be strange. He is a better fisherman than all the rest of us in that picture (I was taking the photo) yet we...
