Nice King from Westport

Yep, been there, done that. :D First time we dropped pots off Iceberg Point our floats were pulled under. We now have two inflatable round fenders for that area.

Nice feeesh. I know it seems lucky, but a lot of that luck is due to the applied hours of study you've done. That is what I think is so rewarding, when all that study pays off.

I heard rumor they may open MA 12 for another day after reviewing catch estimates. I know there are still a lot of shrimp out there. We got our two limits in the first pot today, and then paid forward another three limits after that. We've noticed the shrimp we're finding are really big this...

Nice fish, Jake; what did that one go? Those chickens look like some mighty fine eatin'. Are those copper pipe jigs behind you?

Here's a great homemade fish and chips recipe. Absolutely delicious. For some other lingcod recipes, go here. This guy has some great NW seafood recipes. I read one of his blogs about reducing apple cider to a syrup and brushing on grilled salmon...wow, it was amazingly good!

Anyone try theseor have experience with them? I really like that they have pockets to keep safety gear in.

A couple of good spots out of Everett are the Clinton ferry dock area, Brown's Bay, and Possession Point if the weather is decent. Our first year shrimping we dropped a pot on the eastern edge of Possession and pulled up 16-shy of 2 limits on the first try. I remember it being a little...

Thanks, Jake. I thought about hailing you on the radio, but figured in those conditions we couldn't have made much better headway than what I was doing with the kicker. It was actually comforting just knowing someone was in the area if I had bigger problems. Turns out the closest starter...

We got our 4 limits in MA 12, and threw back another limit-and-a-half. We had a pretty adventurous day with the wind and waves. Forecast called for 9 kts winds, but I swear there were gusts to 25. With the 9' tide swing, and the shrimping window during the peak of the ebb current, pulling...

Just got my burgees today. Awesome! Thanks, Bill and Boo Boo.

The thermal circuit breaker is something I'd check, too. Because all power went off, and then came back after a period, it could be the circuit broke, cooled off, and closed again.

I didn't want to hijack the Torqeedo thread, so I started this one. Did anyone take a look at the Electric Paddle at the SBS? It looks pretty cool; light weight (18 lbs.), recharge in 3 hours, easy to pack and store. It sounds like a good solution for using around the harbor and protected...

I found it here.

It would be pretty cool to figure out a way to direct some air flow towards the front windows when you need a defogger.

I had a S1000 connected to a Furuno chartplotter. I was disappointed with the performance. Because it uses Course Over Ground to keep its plot, it will fall off its track if your Speed Over Ground drops below about 2kts. And you have to get up to over 2kts just to set the course. If you're...

Is there going to be a sign up sheet for this one? Joe & Ruth need a place to sign up, 'cause I know they're just itchin' to take their new-to-them boat to a gathering.

I'm in.

If there is photo evidence, then some quantification of the holder must be applied, i.e. "Yeah, that's my buddy holding the fish I caught. He's actually 6'8" and weighs about 375 lbs, so you can imagine how big that fish really is."

Great thread, Tom, and coincidently, great timing. I'm picking up a 16' all-welded Gregor sled today that I bought, and plan to do exactly what you are. I've been in a few sleds that had their floors covered with rubber matting that's used in horse stalls/trailers. Great non-skid properties...
