Northwest Fishing Reports

Just got my first BC and went out and practiced.... Results 1/2 weight for practice 14 lb mono (Flouro still waiting until I'm more comfortable) 100 Cast 14 Back-lash 1 so bad I had to re-spool Went from about 20 feet to over 80 feet in casting as I got more comfortable ... Accuracy still questionab...

Snap... I would so be there but my wife flies out of town early Sunday afternoon and I I wasn't home the day she leaves she would kill me ...

Glad mine is under the limit... :albino: (really wish it wasn't but it is)

Too my 6 year old nothing is a dink they are all big to him... :-) Funny thing is the more I fish with him the more I start to see it the same way... also the size ratio has changed major since moving to WaRshington. Used to be anything under 3 was a meh whatever fish. Washington Size Slide rule... ...

It is the outside of the hull causing the problem not the inside ...

For the outside of the hull, I would be inclined to not use a bed liner material. Just refinish with gelcoat or epoxy paint. If you are worried about abrasion just add a couple of those keel protector strips. Red neck or not, bed line on the bottom means you won't be dragging it across the grass to...

Transom repair http://www.wartairsoft.com/images/boat12.jpg After a coat of paint for protection tomorrow and for when I sand it to find the high/low areas. http://www.wartairsoft.com/images/boat11.jpg Seat installed http://www.wartairsoft.com/images/boat10.jpg Close up of the seat http://www.wartai...

Seat arrived today so tomorrow it goes in ... http://www.wartairsoft.com/images/boat8.jpg And on a side not I have been researching fiberglass over foam and that has opened up 2 cans of worms. #1 Modifications that can be done to this boat #2 Building my own boat.... Also I have finally got a name f...

im moving back to Washington ! :cheers: Probably going to focus on salmon & steelhead more often now. I gotta find what lakes to fish for bass in my area ! Hmmmm... Cool to hear .... I'm old fat and slow but I'm in Belfair myself so any lake info drop me a line or if you find any good ones let me k...

Progress made.. Both floatation chambers in the back are done and the transom is drying now. I may need to add a couple of more layers of cloth to the transom but that will have to wait until Friday.... Boat seat arrives Thursday so the deck and seat will go in Friday and the trailer will get worked...

My plan is to tape sand and the entire bottom before anything gets put on. I will probably self apply the liner myself, but first I have to make sure she doesn't sink.

Haha, lookin good. One thing I would mention about Rhino Lining or any kind of truck bed-liner material on a boat this size would be added weight. That stuff can be pretty heavy. True but since I will be the only one in it and it will only be on the bottom to help protect it when I beach the boat. ...

I never said the 3 holes weren't of my own making.... :) So I was moving the boat around and all was not well it was way to heavy in the back end and was heavier on one side than the other. So I cracked one of the rear floatation areas open and sure enough the float foam was wet. So I opened both up...

Not from a boat but... Swafford Pond - We lost a pole and lawn chair fishing from shore. We went up to the truck to get a bite heard a drag splash and pole and lawn chair were making a beeline for deeper water. Other than that I have not lost stuff in Washington now Oklahoma that is a totally differ...

All is not well there are now 3 large holes in her....

I will post pictures up tonight.

No but if you ever need help surveying it I would be happy to tag a long and test them with ya....

This is fun to watch and I'm stealing ideas left and right for my little 10 footer even though it is fiberglass....

She is looking good.

Had a couple of people say that it has been a little slow this year, but I haven't been out there myself since my little 10' boat on big lake = target for ski boats.

My birthday is coming up and I was thinking about getting myself one of those GoPro setups to start filming Gringo's adventures (or miss-adventures) on the water. Anyone have one, have experience with one, have another that compares, thoughts, opinions, etc. ???? Why Yes I do but we use them for an...

Thanks guys I will I plan on finishing the hole repairs today if the rain holds and then get her to a lake and make sure she doesn't sink. Once that is done then I will flip her over and sand her smooth and Line-X the bottom. I will document it as I go even if it is me waist deep standing in a boat.
