That will make a great Puget Sound & Inside passage boat.

John you gonna come to the Portland Sportsman Show the 8th-12th? I would like to make the Seattle show but I have too much work to get done before the Portland Show.

Live catch fishery Deleted my response Mom say if you can't say something nice.

Those look awesome Mike. All your products look top notch for sure. That second one with the tackle storage under looks like alot of the ones you see on the Aussies boats :joecool: Thanks for the compliment although I don't think my tables are that similar to the Aussie tables I have seen other tha...

Mike I still like mine that you made for me last year. The Moveable scent bottle holder divider Works real Good at holding the Salmon vertical for cleaning. You can retrofit the Tackle storage base to mine? How much to Buy that so I can install on Mine? Sportsman Show Coming up. You doing Puyalup? ...

Here are a couple tables I just completed. The black table is the first one I have made in black the size was a custom build to fit a space 27.5"x22". The big white table has a tackle center base also a first for me the customer wanted the table 17.5" high from mounting and he wanted ...

I visited Wooldridge today to deliver an order of transom doors and I got to check out this 20' pilot house as usual it looked great but I was blown away by how much fishing room it had. For a hard top boat 20' long it seems huge my old 21' North River did not have that much fishing room.

Nothing wrong with 5052 many boats use 5052 it is a little softer than 5086 and will make a better material if you need to bend it 5086 will fracture if bend very sharply so in some panels on boats needing to be bent 5052 will be the choice. There is really no basic fits all alloy it depends on the ...

Looks like a great boat. It is great to have you on the board. Will this boat be able to be fitted with the walk through clam hatch?

Mike

Nice looking boat if you get it cleaned up use shark hide to keep it looking good. You could try Flitz aluminum polish.

Mike

It looks like your pacific may be a bit top heavy with the new rails.

I have a valise type raft built by Zodiac I believe it is rated for 4 or 5 people. Mine is way over on the inspection. The requirement here for commercial use is an annual inspection but for private use it is up to the owner. I bought when I went to AK a few years ago in my 21' North River Seahawk b...

I plan to haul my boat up to SE Alaska and fish out of Ketchikan next year. Prince William Sound is a little too far for me. I would love to have a buddy boat this is very doable and I have done it twice before. If anyone is interested I can outline the trip and costs. I trailer the boat to Prince R...

My New favorite fillet knives are Kershaw they approached me last year at the Portland Sportsman Show and asked if I would like some knives to display with my fillet tables and I said sure. A couple months had gone by and I had forgotten about the conversation when package arrived addressed to me an...

Try sticking a piece of weed trimmer string up the pee hole (I believe they do this same operation on old guys LOL). I have had bugs clog them in the past.

Nice fish that looks like fun.

Mike

Have you tried the ones that have 2 blades spinning in opposite directions? I have one and it works great on AL plate.

Nice report sounds like fun I would like to come up that way and fish some time.

Mike

Here is a picture of the gear we used. I used my halibut gear with braided line probably should have tied on a little mono but we didn't. I will be more prepared next time.

Mike

We used 2 cedar plugs and 2 clones one was pink and the other was the Mexican flag pattern. I will take a picture of them when I get home. We are leaving today we were supposed to stay until next week but the ocean has turned on us and it is supposed to blow 20-30 knots through Sunday. We went out b...

I decided to give albacore a try so Monday we left around 6 out of Brookings and ran 40 miles due West to some numbers that were given to me by a friend. The temp upon arrival at the given coordinates was 52* but I could see commercial boats trolling in the distance so I ran another 6 or so miles to...

If you send me a round trip ticket I'll be there.

I did not see your post but you would be more than welcome but I can't swing the ticket.

I am not a big time salmon fisherman so I tend not to travel far for them they are fun to catch but usually salmon fishing is slow scratch fishing. I like to catch fish I do not eat much salmon and tend to give most of it away. I love white fish ling cod, rock cod & halibut & I like crab and...

I understand it is a long trip it is a 7 hour drive for me and I won't do it unless I go for at least a week. I used to live in Brookings and I consider that my home waters. I have many friends in that area my wife does not fish so it gives her something to do visiting with our friends while I fish....

I am heading to Brookings, OR Saturday for 10 days of fishing I will give a full report when I get back or maybe some from Brookings. John are you going to come for a day or two? If anyone wants a day out on the water let me know.
