    The future of salmon in Puget Sound

    There are two major problems with salmon recovery that must be solved before there is ANY recovery. First, get ALL gill nets out of ALL waters. Gill nets can wipe out entire fish runs for small side streams since salmon tend to school together. Gill nets also select for the biggest, strongest...

    Never buy a single cylinder kicker...unless you like noise and vibration while trolling.

    Open Net Fish Farming in The Strait of Juan de Fuca 2017

    Nope. The Willapa has non-tribal commercial gill netting. The Chehalis has Quinault tribal commercial gill netting. Not sure but I think the Chehalis also has non-tribal commercial gill netting too.

    Open Net Fish Farming in The Strait of Juan de Fuca 2017

    There used to be massive schools of bait out in front of Westport that the Columbia River salmon stopped and fed on, on their way home. Three or four years ago the sardine seines were allowed to fish out of Westport. They basically devastated all the bait schools for miles around. They were only...

    Has anyone tried Rhino or Line-X coatings? Or maybe having the tanks powder coated.

    Federal Petition - ban ocean cage salmon farming in Canada

    Good job! I hate the salmon farms for an entirely different reason. Sardine seines net all the bait and bottom fish so the fish processing industry can grind the biomass up for protein pellets to feed the farmed fish. The sardine sienes have decimated the west coast bait fish populations just as...

    Federal Petition - ban ocean cage salmon farming in Canada

    So what is your solution???? Everyone hates farmed fish yet the demand for protein continues to grow with the expanding world population. So what do you want to do? Limit the amount of protein per person? Reduce the population? Turn people into Soylent Green? It is obvious to me that wild...

    Guns on Boats

    Maybe this was covered but I didn't see it it with a quick scan. Can you have a loaded concealed weapon on your boat legally? It wouldn't be on your person so a concealed carry permit wouldn't work. It is a second home according to the IRS and you can keep a loaded hand gun in your home. I have...

    Puget Sound fishing

    Enjoy the crabbing up north while it lasts. The tribes will soon take all the crab as they have done in area 13 due to their over fishing.

    E0 fuel

    Alcohol is a solvent that breaks down rubber gas lines/gas bulbs and no amount of stabilizer/additives can change that.

    Westport bottom fishing

    joechiro30, Let me give you a little more understanding. First drive up into the Cascades and notice the ridges running east/west. Now pretend that all the valleys are filled in with sand and only a few high rock outcroppings are visible. That is basically like it is offshore. Now those rock...

    Westport bottom fishing

    Read your regs. Size of jigs depends on current, wind and how good you are backing your boat into the current and wind. http://www.afsc.noaa.gov/groundfish/RockfishGuide/Rockfish_Pages/Yellowtail_rockfish.htm You can anchor anywhere if you have enough rode. Tips? You mean coordinates? No...

    Westport bottom fishing

    Any charters fishing this weekend will be fishing for yellow tail, seabass and lings. If they are anchored in 150 feet of water or less, they will be fishing for seabass (black rockfish) and an occasional ling. If they are out in deeper water and drifting they probably are fishing lings or...

    Storage space for C-Dory 25

    I'm not saying you should do this but there is another option. I have seen a trailer tongue sticking out a double barn door. The guy had double sliding doors that slid in from both sides. Each door had a notch around one half of the tongue. I bet if you googled 'notch in door for trailer...

    Never buy a single cylinder engine. Way to much vibration.

    Removing gas from tanks

    If you want to remove fuel from your tank, simply unhook your fuel line from your motor. Push a small nail along side of the ball check valve on the end of the hose the attaches to your motor. Pump up the primer bulb to prime the hose and lower the end of the hose to a point lower than the...
