I just got my June issue -- the article is "BIG boats for BIG water" -- D-Dory is lauded -- good article! Caty on edit -- we got the boat, now I'm zeroing in on the article "10 Tips to More Halibut" since I have yet to catch my first!

I have a son who's fished commercial boats in Alaska a few times, but the last time, he got burned and didn't get paid -- anyone know a reputable outfit that might need another hand? The reason the opportunity was offered originally was a friend was a captain -- he did a couple tours and then...

While Steve and I were over Baker City way elk hunting, we took a morning and went to Cabelas in Boise (towels necessary to treat drooling). I found an underwater camera and couldn't resist (I've been looking at them online and this one was quite reasonably priced for what's included). Does...

Steve and I took a short roadtrip this weekend to get some miles on the new truck so we can tow again -- stopped at the harbor in Brookings and saw these beauties Fine looking boats -- Fire Drill and Donna Rae. We spent most of Saturday fishing along the Rogue looking for some half pounders...

We were driving past Sportcraft on 405 this morning and spotted this beauty in the parking lot ...I made sure Steve didn't drool on it, but it was tough! What a fine looking vessel! So, who're the lucky owners?

Well, I seem to be developing a new career at age 59 -- kinda late, but it's a hoot! -- been thinkin -- they trust me to load trucks with this: Wonder how long it'd take me to hook up the boat and haul it over to the coast...bet it'd be more reliable than that stinkin Ford! (BTW, the Ford is...

Looking to find a hinged cover for the switch on the washdown (can't tell you how many times someone's leaned on it and flipped it on!) and can't seem to find anything -- anyone found such a thing? There was one installed on the brand-x I used to own and you had to LIFT it to flip the switch --...

Well, the truck's in the shop with a worn out transmission at 77k miles, along with a EGR valve that's sticky. I asked if the truck popping out of park, into reverse on the ramp was an indication the tranny was going, but they said no...and the service manager said he hadn't heard of that...

Steve and I spent Friday evening, Saturday and this morning at Oregon City, seeking out some smelly ol' shad for bait purposes. We were pulling the boat about 9 this morning to come home (Steve, poor guy, has to go to work tomorrow) -- Steve dropped me off, I went and got the truck and backed...

Wow, a lot of work for not many lil silver fishes! Steve and I dipped last night for a couple hours and got a whopping 16 smelt -- someone commented that they were acting like they'd found gold when anyone got one -- I've heard the commercials are charging about $1 apiece for them...pretty...

What I learned today: Cost of insuring cell phone with Verizon: $4.99/mo per phone Cost of insuring cell phones (2) under homeowners policy: $14/yr The agent said most people don't even think about insuring under their homeowners.

It's borrowed from NSIA, but fitting! :)

The first time we experienced that message was in Astoria..foggy morning, maybe the second day we had the first CatyMae. The DSM was the first to go, then the radar, then the entire C70 went blank....they told us we'd run the battery down (luckily I had my handheld for backup). The DSM has had...

Anyone going halibutting out of Newport next weekend? Since they're reportedly so close in, we might give it a whirl....hope I don't bust a stitch! ar ar ar :lol:

Well, I'm healing from that flippin surgery, having major withdrawals from lack of fishing and boating -- we decided to go for a short cruise up the Yaquina today...tried to make us some coffee while Steve put on the new holder for the fishnet....Wallas wouldn't start...both the light on the...

Well, Steve had to work Saturday, so I stayed out of trouble: but we're still trying to figure out which end do you light?
