    Rooftop "Rear Boat Loader"?

    Got one this year. I go up to BC a lot and they are everywhere. 2 brands, Loadmyboat out of Kelowna and Load-it in Abbotsford. Essentially the same. I got the Load-it because I could drive up for the day and pick it up. Came in 2 surprisingly small boxes. No duty. Took several days to put it...

    Thermocline fishing?

    Went fishing yesterday Did some research beforehand. You can clearly see the thermocline on my fish finder. Apparently in the summer this acts as a barrier to the fish (oxygen depletion below). Chronomids will still hatch below. They and other food sources will get kinda trapped at the...

    50 or 100ah Li Battery?

    The batteries are so cheap now. I’d get a 50. If you find it’s not enough for some days, get another. Take both when you need them, one shorter days. I just bought a LiTime 36v for my 3hp electric outboard. Blue tooth is easy and reliable so I always know my state of charge. For all my batteries...

Get on the lake, at the far end, in the rain, oh, and wind and I’m sweating thinking it won’t start. It’s...

    Learning to Row Rivers

    If you took one of Zac’s courses you’d be better than 90% of the rowers out there. They have created a real asset. Don’t think that these skills wouldn’t apply to easier fishing rivers. These skills are the fundamentals of being on any moving water. https://www.nwrafting.com/training/rowing-school

    Automatic Boat Loader

    Oh I have! They RARELY pop up! Maybe a beat up old Edie with a broken drill winch, but even those are rare.

    Automatic Boat Loader

    Yes indeed! Just hit the extend button on the remote. Loosen the orange straps on the back. I mark where they should be set. Pull back on the boat to get to or near the balance point. Not hard mine slides easily and I’m 71. Then use the remote and it drops right down. Can be stopped at any...
