Yes, I enjoy fishing from my inflatable. I have a 12' Avenger from North Fork Outdoors. Your sea anchor will do wonders for your trolling speed and control in the wind. I use two of them for my...

You missed a really great opportunity to find out what it is us jig abusers love so much about the sport. We can guess and speculate until we're blue in the face about it. I've heard all sorts of...
Last year, I got in there sometime around mid to late April. And it was a lot of fun. Kokes are wayyyyyy too small but the bow's aint too bad. I actually just drove past the turn-off to it last...
I certainly haven't seen it all but it would be a tough sell to convince me that these fish were coho. The one in your left hand looks like it's a kokanee for sure. Unless of course you had some...
I think you'll find that general size caught varies from lake to lake and year to year. One lake I fish, the average size koke is about 6 to 8 inches. Of course, I don't fish this lake for the...
It's certainly not good to have people violating the laws and taking too many fish. The regs were written to protect and preserve our fishing opportunities. But I feel that it should be added that...
That looks like a nice fat koke to me. The tail looks totally koke and the missing scales give even more support. The best way I've heard to know the difference for sure is to check the gills. I...
My toon is a bit smaller than yours, I've got a 12ft inflatable and love it. I'd own one like yours too if I could afford it, but it isn't practical because I'd only use it for one specific...
As a jigger, the best thing I ever did to up my percentage was to learn to quit setting the hook on them. This took me from less than 20% boated to about 80% boated. Since you are trolling, you are...
I recently found a diver that seems to work pretty well, although I have only had a limited chance to use it so the jury is still out on overall performance. It is an adjustable diver made by some...
Great report! Thanks for posting. Sounds like you guys had a really great time.
SilverBullets, Have you tried skinless fillets in the smoker yet? I don't remember which member it was here that said that this was their technique but I want to try that when I get the chance. ...
silver hooker, thanks for the excellent report. I haven't made it up there yet but I keep hoping to. Maybe I can get up there in time for the spring fishing next year, or maybe not. I guess I'll...
It's a quick clip, similar to what you will find on a snap-swivel but different, and there is no swivel attached. Most all sporting goods stores carry this product. BiMart does, Dick's Sporting...
SilverBullets, I agree that it does make them easier to get a grip on to fillet but I find the time it takes to be wasteful for me and I don't have that much trouble holding them anyway. Besides, I...
Bill,
Unfortunately, I left my '08 code book at work and haven't yet ordered my '11 book, so I'm going to have to wait until Monday to be certain but I think the code reference is superceded by...
I'd like to know what your source is on that increase in value when in free air. As I said, there are some exceptions, but I've never heard of anything about free air wiring changing their ampacity....
Scaling shouldn't take that long, but then again you shouldn't be using your fillet knife to do it. A lot of things will work fairly well, things like wire brushes and nylon parts brushes. One of...
The Palomar knot is very easy to learn to tie and is the most recommended knot for braided line. It's basically just a modified overhand knot. It provides tremendous strength for terminal tackle. ...
Roy,
The reason for the mono backing is that if you don't put a few wraps of monofiliment on your reel as an anchor for your super braids, you'll find that sooner or later you'll probably have an...
Wow! Looks like a rolling luxury suite hotel to me. The cost of that truck, camper and boat combined is probably more than I've made in my lifetime, and I'm not that many years away from...
Sorry Bob, but I don't have any way to post a pic of it right now. I did just look it up online though and they have a picture of it there. I couldn't find it under the name Davis but I found it by...
There is a tool I've been trying to get out and try that I think I'm going to like. It's a diving plane that seems to do a pretty good job of hitting the right depth all of the time. Granted, it's...
SuperD,
You're right about a bearing buddy coming off, that's happened to me on two different occasions. I had a hub that was damaged and didn't realize it until I had lost the second one to that...
I was never really very fussy before, just made sure that it said marine grade on it and it was good enough for me. Now that I've begun switching all of my oils and fluids over to Amsoil products,...
