The cow hasn’t been doing all that well either.

I personally let shit like this bother me too much. I fish to enjoy myself and relax and I’m the kind of person that struggles to not let this kind of stuff get under my skin. If a guide came up to me as I was about to fish and basically tell me not to because he was going to later, I think I’d...

That front seat is deluxe. The passenger should be pretty comfortable. Sitting in mine when I mocked it up I didn’t feel like there was less room than the striker, I thought there was more room actually. But as I mentioned earlier in the thread, that may have been because of the openness to the...

I’ve been using 8’ sawyer oars on my striker and plan on using them for my slipstream too. I’ve never felt like they were too long or problematic in any way. I’m 6’1” and I’m also far from a pro, so those in the know may have good reasons for shorter oars, but never been an issue for me.

Not sure exactly what you want to do with it but I can go with another and my Brittany in my striker and the front seat angler can fish no problem as I row. Would be tough for the rower to fish from this boat, so if that is your hope I don’t think this is the boat for you. Although I haven’t...

I had been eyeing the 96 for a while. When they initially discounted it I pulled the trigger. A couple of weeks later they dropped it even more. I reached out and they refunded me the difference. I think this is a helluva deal. I don’t think you can buy the components to build the frame for much...

I used to drop a crab pot off outside the break and pick it back up when my session was done with my longboard. But the last time I did it out at Neah Bay the tide change was pretty big and I couldn’t find it when I paddled out to get it when I was done. So I don’t do it anymore. Some other...

I sat on that cooler most of the time i was on it, both while paddling and trying to fish. It worked well as a platform to fish from. Just was no less of a hassle getting it to and from the water than a boat and the wind really made it tough.

8/12-that’s a pretty awesome day. Nice to take a day off and have those results. Now here’s hoping the universe does it checks and balances thing and your Huskies get upset tomorrow.

I posted about mine a while back in the camping, hiking and cooking forum but here’s a couple pics.

Several years ago I saw one dragging a flasher near the pipes at LP. On my first cast I actually hooked the flasher and brought the chinook in. Of course the hook was barbed. I unhooked the gear from him and released him and offered the gear to my neighbor. He had a boat and gear fished for...

Reminds me of the first time I saw the Entering Ethel sign. I was the only one that thought it was funny. I’ve driven by this sign a gazillion times and for some reason never put the same thought together and it’s even more obvious with Joyce then with Ethel.

A few years ago I ditched the tape for the elastic finger sleeves you can get at the drugstore. They last a long time if you don’t lose them. I’m on the original package I bought a few years ago. I think the line goes over it easier than the tape too.

I’m glad you asked this question because I have wanted to for a long time but thought it was some kind of “no duh” thing so was afraid to ask. I feel like it has something to do with the tides but I can’t figure it out. Sometimes a ship does go by but waves will roll in for 15-20 minutes, and...

Here is my version. I got rid of my pop up, slide in camper last year and went the way of a canopy. A huge step back in comfort. It is a few inches higher than the cab height, but I still can't even sit up completely, but it works. I used one piece of plywood for the entire bed, including...

It doesn't seem like too bad of a deal, especially given the cost of cataract oars right now. I feel like I may need to put an alarm system on my oars given the cost to replace them now. I absolutely love my Stiker raft...

I was a little slow with my reply. Interesting, these are the kind of posts I really enjoy. Extra appreciation for the detailed recipe. I’ve been considering doing something similar. I’d probably go with the front seat as part of the frame and a little less in the back. I see you have a foot...

Are you getting a custom frame made for the Stryker? I’d love to see it on the boat once you have an image to post.

Is this just spreading the late winter run out over more months or is this an expected increase in fish numbers too?
