First off, thanks for everyones responses concerning my engines stalling. I have finally had enough spare time to go through all connections, fuses and battery terminals. Here is what I found; both batteries and connections were clean and tight. I cleaned them anyway, greased them and...

The second of three C-Dory's I saw at Neah Bay for the halibut openor. Who are you?

One of the three C-Dory's I saw at Neah Bay for the halibut openor. Who are you? I only ended up with 2 of the 3 boats in pictures.

(Mason C. Bailey) 2006 Neah Bay Trip

I appreciate everyones replies. It sounds to me that it is most likely the ground, since everything did go dead momentarily. That may also be what caused my washdown pump to stop working as well. Now I just need to find a little time to work on it. Another question though, if both...

Thanks Dave and Gary, If I get the chance after my son's soccer practice tonight I'll check out all the terminals of both batteries. McNaughty III

Mark, The boat has dual batterys but I'll have to check to see if one battery is dedicated to each motor. I know I can start the engines with the battery switch in the off position, so the power is coming directly from the battery(s). The boat was just serviced prior to the trip at the C-Dory...

On my recent trip to Neah Bay for the Halibut opener last week we had some heavy seas and bad wind waves on top of that. This is nothing unusual for the Washington coast. However it was disconcerting when heading towards the "Hole in the Wall" to get out in the ocean that I noticed that the...

We arrived at Neah Bay on 5/6, launched and moored the boat at Big Salmon at about 3 PM. It was wet and nasty, so we decided to just go back to our room at Sekui and relax until the next morning. On both Sunday and Monday the weather was still bad, we made it outside to the ocean but turned...

Same as Mike on "Levity", north up except if I don't know the area or have had too many beers! McNaughty III

McNaughty III will be there for the 4th year in a row. We will stay at Sekui (Curleys Resort) and moore the boat at Big Salmon in Neah Bay. My partner and I will arrive on Saturday the 6th and leave on Saturday the 13th. Last year the weather was perfect for most of the week and we were able...

Ditto what Sark states. It is my normal launch as well and shouldn't be a problem. The launch ramps, especially if you stay to the south end are fairly steep and deep. The retrieval end which is north is a bit flatter and not as deep and occasionally creates problems. I'd still watch out for...

I will be going out to the nearby banks off of Port Townsend when it opens up as well. The biggest halibut I have caught was at Heine bank back in 2002, picture #7 of my photo album. The largest I have ever caught at Neah Bay was 60 pounds, and that was while fishing for Salmon. (back in the...

Doug, I have the boarding ladder mounts on both sides as you mentioned. I also have two Scotty downriggers, which I think are the same model you mentioned. They both have the standard Scotty mounts, with the exception that the one on the port side has the added swivel mount. I like the...

Roger, Yes, I think we will also obtain BC licenses, if we get the chance to run up and get them. If you are booking moorage, I would do it as soon as you can because it does fill up. If you don't mind spending a little extra money, ask for an actual slip, they have power and water. They are...

Well, it is getting close to that time of year again. Halibut opens this year at Neah Bay on May 9th. I have booked my trip, have moorage at Big Salmon resort and lodging at Sekui (Curley's resort). My fishing partner and I will be arriving on Saturday the 6th to get settled in, relax, do...

Jim and Roger, I was out on 2/12 as well and fished the west side of Possesion Bar near the green can, Skachet Head. Picked up on 6-7 pound black mouth right at tide change and lost one other reasonable hook up. Only stayed out for the tide change and went home. I've been having better luck...

Fran Sea The location was outside of Everett, Washington State, just north of Seattle on Puget Sound. The boat is still in the water, so I don't know if it has damaged the bottom paint or gel coat. I'll be pulling it out for a general clean up in two weeks and will of course take a close...

I arrived at the Everett Marina Thursday AM at about 7:30 to go fishing. There was the usual slushy ice inside the marina, not a problem. Headed for the north side of Hat Island. There was one tug boat moving a log tow. Then before I got to Hat, I passed another 22 foot green C-Dory going...

I think I may have incorrectly posted a response, so I'll try it again. You may want to take a look at the stern transom storage box I made for MacNaughty. I don't know the way to provide a link but it is on page 14 of the albums, pictures 1 and 2 and more on page 5 of the album. It is made...
