I agree with Ric and Stu. My electronics are all quick disconnect and I take them with me. I have personal experience with boat cabins being broken into, so I leave my cabin door(s) unlocked (saves repairing a broken door/jambs a real pita) and I leave nothing of real value in the cabin...

I used to use the public harbor (ph), but after using Safe Marina (sm), I'll stick with them. The cost is about the same as the ph, 20 to launch 5 for watching and ? for filleting, but the MAIN reason I'll use sm is because I can return at darkthirty w/o paying my launcher 20.00 per hour after...

You fellas every try fishing at night? Usually thats when we go. And very seldom are we are skunked. We'll start maybe an hour or two before high tide, through until an hour or so after it peaks. We use 'chovies, and to get things going we'll also chum the water.

I think I've seen his picture at the Post Office. Been to San Carlos? Hows the fishin' on the river?

Wow, some rainstorm! Thanks for the pics! don

Superb reply Stuart! Actually I hope Tyler know I was joking about spending the night. I read Rics' account of spending a planned night at the 51, and it sure makes one think twice about spending the night on the ocean. I have no plans on spending a night out... I was hoping Bahia Trader...

Receiving a compliment from a Highly Respected and Successful Captain such as yourself sure makes one humble! Thank you very much, made my week! don

A few shots of the largest pod we've ever seen. The pod extended to several hundred yards on either side of the boat. :boat: don

"Ya gotta remember your EAP (Emergency Action Procedures) 1.) Get down on your knees and give thanks, for your prayers have been answered. 2.) Contact your launcher/docking location via your vhf radio, inform them that you've decided to spend the night. Then turn the radio off to conserve...

Anyone recognize these wanted men? :shock:

OH yeah, I used a heat gun to flatten the pieces of the tank for my lids. Also, I made several nylon washers from scrap material with a hole saw. These were for the sch 80 fittings. You could get nylon washers at a hardware store, but thats more $. don

Hi Bill, I found the best way to cut the tank was with a sabre saw. Cut like butter. For the the tank height I measured the tank taper od's at 1 inch intervals (tank manufacture tapers are different). Next decision, do I want the tank top at sitting height or reasonable capacity height? I...

Wow, I was not aware of that saltwater baitfish were susceptible to an over o2 condition. Thanks for info, now I'll have an idea if the baits starts expiring. And your correct about the 3 way valve. I can limit the amount of flow to the tank by the valves position. Thanks for the tip...

Bill, couple of points I meant to add. If you've had aquariums you know nitrates and ammonias' build up and collect at the bottom of the tank. Many times stressed fish descend to the bottom into this deadly soup. So ideally you should drain from the bottom. I played with different ideas...

Hi, uh do to my ignorance the pics are in sequence from the bottom up.

Hi Bill, Hot diggity dog, Tyler came to the rescue! "Thanks Tyler", for tweaking the forum so I could add the pictures! I had tittles on each pic so I'll add them if they don't come through. Hope this helps, any questions?

My past experience (only thru beginning of July) was the corvina action got better as the water warmed. Can't say anything about late July /August.

We've never tried bait for trolling just lures, so actually I'm curious to see how live bait would perform. I did install downriggers on the wellcraft, but every time I've been out with that boat, I've stuck with using live bait. Now I need to give deepwater trolling a shot. Kelney it can be...

Hi Bill! How was the White Mountains? Got back from Powell yesterday evening, and will be putting away the sea ray today. I hope to be able to get to the storage yard before dark and get some pics of the livewell on the wellcraft. Want me to email them directly to you, since we can only post...

Hey LJ! You're in! :boat: Val read your post and said "Hey she can be my friend, I've got lots of novels!" Bird Island here we come! You ladies can read novels, while sipping on drinks while I attempt to find :fish:'ies! Sounds good to me!
