Re: Marine Canvas

In Whatcom County, I'd recommend North Star upholstery. They are west of Ferndale a few miles from the 262 exit.

Re: Boating courtesy to land lubbers

You both will end up with a ticket. If you are less than 200 feet from shore, you have to slow down. Any one that casts more than 200 feet is doing great.

Re: Fishing etiquette question? Passing trollers/drifters

I believe you are legally responsible for your wake. If you swamp somebodies boat you can be held responsible for all monetary costs. If some body should die, you could be looking at jail time.
Obviously I'm not a lawyer. Maybe One will pipe up?

Re: LAKE CHELAN

BTW Everyone, reservations at the State Park start May 1st, which is a Sunday. The ranger told me over the phone that it would be highly unlikely for the park to be anywhere near filled. Coming in Friday it's first come, first served, and should be plenty of spots. I'm excited to try this venue and...

Re: Auburn Save Our Fish Chapter Of PSA Meeting

Relating to catching Kokanee.

Easy to relate to catching and not catching. When I'm catching, I feel like a pro. When I'm not catching, I am just happy to be on the lake.

Careful with those Large vents. If not done correctly, they may let in as much water as air.

Re: Trouble with 9.9 Honda, 2007

I've had the same problem with my 9.9 Merc 4 stroke. felt like a dummy as it was a closed vent on the tank. I've worked in outboards since 1967. Easy to forget. I only close my vent while towing in the rain.
