Steve & Joe, I just added a couple pictures to the Shasta 2004 gathering. Steve's C-Dory being the 2004 model and mine the 1991. The pictures make for an interesting comparison. Bill

Thanks Ken, Great list! Thought I had it all. Just for that I'll post a site that I've found useful. This site will give the distance between two points designated by Latitude & Longitude. Bill

CAVU Mine is mounted in the recessed area behind the dash just to the left of the steering wheel and I'm concerned that I may be getting interference from the wiring or steering. I have a Helmsman, made by Ritchie. Here are some excerpts from the mounting instructions. "To assure maximum...

There's a good chance you'll see C-Bill there also! :wink Bill

Thanks UncleRichie, A while back, I got on a Charter boat out of Port Angeles. :( I found it interesting regarding the type of tackle they used. Kinda like a downrigger boom with several large pulleys and if I remember right, steel line. The days catch = zero halibut. But an enjoyable...

WELL, what is opening day for Halibut in 2005? (Or the expected opening). It's only 5 months away! Do you think the C-Dories will out number the charter boats at the Chicken Ranch this year (being a Nevada resident, I kinda hate to mention the "Chicken Ranch" in public)?? Bill :wink:

Thanks for the website Del, I may make good use of it. I'm giving some serious thought to making the trip! Bill

CAVU Thanks! I'll look at that a little closer. Do you take the ferry across? How expensive is the license? Mr. Fisherman I suspect those fish were caught out of Depoe Bay. Thanks for the info - I'll be on the road in July! Bill

I'm itching for a chance for Salmon & Halibut? Bill :wink:

Somebody with a 25ft C-Dory "Viking Lady" has a very impressive two page photo in the December issue of Trailer Boats. Very very nice!!! See pages 56-57. :D Bill

Wanderer, I'd like to caution you regarding your towing combination. I don't know the weight of your Tahoe or your exact configuration. The short wheelbase of your Tahoe connected to the long trailer and probably tandem axles on the boat trailer is very dangerous. I suspect the weight of the...

Tom, Thanks! :lol: I may consider a four stroke one of these days, but not yet. I really enjoy fishing the ocean and I'm very concerned with weight back near the transom. I've been on the ocean in some nasty conditions. My boat does a good job of handling it in the present configuration...

Those pictures were taken before the ban. I still have the same motor and I like it and I'm stubborn. I've heard the samething about the "Don't ask, don't tell." I quit fishing when the ban became effective. The fine can be very expensive!!! I'm still very ticked off at Steve Wynn (Mirage...

C-Weed I took my wife to an empty parking lot with the boat in tow and let her gain some confidence with backing the rig up. It take a lot of time and patience, but it can be done. Go slow. At some point in time, she may have to do that without your assistance. Bill PS - She can also be a...

C-Weed, I understand. :roll: A lot will depend on the wind direction. I'm still trying to invent something just for loading 22ft CD Cruisers. That should make me rich enough to afford Radar (after paying for gas :wink: ). Bill

C-Weed, I have the side boards on my trailer and I initially thought it would be the one man retrieve answer also. Find some old water-proof chest waders and keep em handy for launching & retrieving your boat. :wink: Bill

Recently heard that Penn was going to quit building downriggers. Better check first. I've had them both, and I much prefer Scotty. My 2 cents, Bill
