I've had salmon sharks following a hooked fish up to the boat in Prince William Sound, near Valdez. It's a thrill to watch them materialize out of the depths, isn't it? I guess they prey on the schools of pinks and there are big numbers of them up here that follow the millions of pinks that are...

Thanks, Ken Now I have to do something to make the chick happy. It will probably involved physical activity of some kind. Pat

Now I'm worried about "mad chicken disease." Pat

"Fishing Joke" ... now is that a redundancy? Here's an old chestnut: A guy was fishing early one morning and was getting skunked. The fish were biting, but not on what he was fishing with. Being a wily sort, he tried to see just what it was the trout were rising for. Finally, he spotted a...

Hi Dusty; Glad to hear you're working on the inside of your classic. Is there a chance you will be slipping some photos of the changes into your album? Pat

C-Farer is a comfortable place to spend time exploring and fishing. I like the fact that she is old enough to be a "classic." I think maybe I must be old enough to be a "classic," too. JoEllen says she partly agrees with that. I just can't figure out which part of "classic" she agrees with. Pat

Never mind. I just caught them in the transition from the old website to their new spiffy one. Pat

I just finished trying to get onto the C-Dory website from a couple of different angles. I get the same message: not available Do you think they all went to SBS and shut it all down for a couple of days? Pat

Jack, Sometimes we do get out of town this time of year and head south. But mostly we just try to stay snug in the old log house and ride out the freeze. I kinda envy you down there in AZ, playing Mexican Railroad or whatever, and probably smiling a little when you read the temps up here. That...

Jack, Up here winter is officially over. It's 30 degrees (+) outside the house right now. That's about an 80 degree swing in a week and a half. Next winter starts Friday, I think. Pat

I've been using this unit for a couple of years on my anchor line. I've had trouble taking it off the line easily. I went back to their website and read the directions (imagine that!) for removal. I think I'll practice doing it the right way from now on. It works pretty nicely for the anchor...

So that's what those shots were for last night. We thought it was just the neighbors celebrating the holidays in a traditional manner. :xlol

CHEMISTRY RULES! :twisted: But if you wanna go organic, try putting a few bundles of eucalyptus leaves in the corners. The DIY channel claims it keeps the spiders out. Pat :

MY LITTLE STOVE

It dropped to about 12 degrees last night here in North Pole. There's maybe an inch or two of snow on the ground and the pond out by our lane has a thin film of ice on it. Winter is a-coming, alright. I have a small Danielson on the C-Farer. It fits right in the back corner of the cabin. I like...

I meant to say "about 350 feet" of leaded line. Sorry, Pat

The C-Farer has one of those fold-up anchors at the end of the line. It's about 5 lbs, I think. Then we have two regular pots that weigh between 5 and 10 lbs each, unweighted. Above those are three fold-up pots, each with two 12 inch lengths of re-bar attached to keep the bottoms down and the...

Bearbait, There must have been something wrong with the pot puller on that rental boat. I pull 5 pots with my Ace and it's pretty easy. I just sit on my tool box and guide the rope into the big tub that holds the rope, the float and and the anchor I use. I just have to keep enough tension on...

This is a great mod. Not only allows for multiple positions while using the table, it gets it out of the way when you don't want it. Good stuff!

Hi Randy, The only way to know if this is the boat for you is to bite the bullet, buy the ticket and fly up to Homer to check it out. The price sounds OK. You know you will be able to ferry it down to Juneau if you buy it. I bought C-Farer the same way. I put down a $100 deposit, flew to...
