What up Joe! I just got done surf perch fishing in Pacific Beach and figured out how to dial them in. I ended the trip with 28 caught, 7 of the biggest kept and the time of my life. Surf fishing is amazing. This was my first go at it and i found that I really enjoyed the constant activity. These guy...

Sandy Shore and Teal will be your best bets.

Nice! Congrats on your first bass and welcome to the family.
They will only get bigger the more you learn and spend time on the water.

Right on Chris! Way to get him hooked.

Final Product. Only thing left is the bow mount trolling motor and pedestal casting seat. Very happy with all the storage I gained and love the casting deck. No issues with stability while on the deck moving around and everything I have ends up in the seats or up front under the deck and not at my f...

I ended up catching 30 something seabass, 5 lings, 1 cabezon and 4 canary rockfish....

Is there a way to put the videos you guys have done to each specific lake and river description? Or include the video as a link at the top of each report page. Might be a good way to boost video clicks and views of each particular video. I know I would watch a video, if there was one, as I check out...

While messing around in the garage doing my boat modifications (http://www.northwestfishingreports.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=20980" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) I noticed that I needed a good rod storage set-up. To utilize the most space I thought of how I could attach to the ...

Thanks for the tips Bodo . [thumbsup] The decision to not have foam in the boat was heavily researched and considered. (This happens to be a very debatable subject with many boat modifiers) I have been boating for 30+ years and have found that if you take on water there is always a way to get it out...

You could maybe put some couplers on those bolts and run new bolts thru the 2x4 into the couplers? Id replace those nuts first

How are you planning to replace the foam?

Good idea on the couplers

As far as the foam, I have no plan on putting any in the boat.

It has been a while since I posted any details....but I am just about done. I didn't do any major mods last year because I couldn't justify putting it out of service and not fishing for awhile. So I just hit the water instead. This year I will post pics with updates every couple of days to keep you ...

I try to use natural colors most of the time, but a little blue or purple or chartreuse for contrast doesn't hurt in dirtier waters. Black/blue & green pumpkin are two that work pretty much anywhere. Pbj too. Ditto. I run brown, black or black/blue jigs Most of my plastics are either black, purple ...
