    Safety

    I upgraded my vest to the Chinook a couple years ago but forgot to swap out my whistle off the old one. I was reminded by WDFD on opening day prior to launching. Luckily I was only blocks away from home and not miles away in the boonies. I use this whistle for the NRS vest and it's pretty good...

    Firehole 718's…

    Happy that Firehole is back after the loss of Joe's wife. I have that hook in #24 up to #6. Very versatile applications... Chironomids, midges, SRC shrimp.

    Trolling motor on a Stealth Pro?

    How about fabricating that mount in HDPE plastic? Heat gun, table saw, some scrap HDPE from Tap Plastics, a few 1/4"SS bolts. If I was starting over I'd be doing this. Save $$ and weight.

    Trolling motor on a Stealth Pro?

    Might have to try something similar on the side of my motor mount. I've spun my prop around 180 so I'm not to sure about clearance as the line is going to be pretty close to the prop. I'm currently using a Scotty anchor lock off the side patch too. Thanks.

    Trolling motor on a Stealth Pro?

    Fuse/Kill switch, plug input for charger, plug output to motor, voltmeter up top, PWM on top of LiFePO4 battery, PWM has SAE plugs so it can be bypassed if it craps out. Remote control box has a forward/off/reverse switch and speed dial. I used waterproof UR connectors for the cable splices

    Trolling motor on a Stealth Pro?

    Haggis and I have done it with our Scouts. Outcast even makes a motor mount bracket for the Stealth. https://www.outcastboats.com/product/frameless-motor-mount/ I'd make sure you check the bracket height off the water before you select a motor. I'm guessing a 30" shaft will work fine. I have...

    "Cart" for Outcast Scout

    Here's what I built for mine: The green bungees wrap around the tubes and clip onto the two SS padeyes at the back of the cart. The fixed front leash clips to the webbing handle at the bow. Frame width matches the seat to tube seam and rides nicely in there without sliding. I placed the wheels...

    NFR Truck tires?

    I have around 9K miles on my new Falken Wildpeak AT/4Ws for the Tacoma. I went with the next size up in diameter over the original Wranglers. Thought that the larger size, weight and tread would be noticeable in road noise but it's really not much different. They've added another ply to the...

    Puget Sound

    Thursday, I was washing down the deck in the Everett Marina and my wife was hollering and pointing at the water behind the slip. There must have been about 30 or 40 coho schooling by. They went down the channel about a hundred feet. They churned the surface and beelined back past us in the...

    Booby Pattern

    After some experiment I’ve come down to tying on a #10 Ahrex FW581 and using 5mm foam cylinder cut to size. Also using FNF Fritz with Biscuit being my go to color out of the gate. WARNING ⚠️ Be prepared for some ridicule from your ‘purist’ buddies.

    How to fish boobies? Need advice

    Try not to have any kind of slow retrieve as the fish tend to inhale boobies deeply. I prefer an 8lb 15 foot washing line w/ multiple 3X tag leader set up on a sink 3 or sink 5. Rod tip down in the water and change up your retrieve. Biscuit, ham and cheese, and tequila colors have been good. I...

    vices?

    I use a Renzetti Traveler too, but swapped out the jaws to the midge size as I tie a lot of 22 size crap for my son in CO. I can still tie everything else I need with the same jaws.

    Lake craft recommendation

    I prefer the Scout but sometimes it’s not very practical to lug it any distance to launch. Having a DIY build cart helps in that regard. I just wish it used a urethane bladder instead of vinyl. Really like the versatility
