Barging her north? With something that comfy I think I'd be looking for a cruise... Port Hardy, Ketchikan, Juneau, Yakutat, Cordova.... it's a fun ride!

They make great charter boats too...!

LOL... you beat me to it! Guess I should put my pitch in the right place too, eh? ;-)

Case, I was the one asking about your transducer, but it was on another forum. Luckey I found you here, the pics help out a lot. The pic below is of my current boat, but I am on a list for a Seawolf, which is the same maker as Case's boat. I can either have a single D6-370 Volvo Diesel or twin Yama...

The sun was out this morning, channel was glassy calm, feed was boiling causing the gulls to go ape-you-know-what.... and where was my boat? http://www.cancancase.com/templates/subSilver/images/20080408haul3.jpg Yep, spring maintenance time. She's dirty from a winter in the boathouse and several gun...

Sorry... in what world is Lake O. considered a "long stretch"? We do 200+ mile runs just to see icebergs with tourists all summer long. About every 3 or 4 years I end up running our boat between Juneau and Seattle (about 1000 miles, give or take where we stop to fish.) Now THERE'S a long r...

Dave- I used to teach SCUBA in the Keys... had a rather special group of students a few times... you KNOW it's going to be a great day on the water when the first to arrive at the boat in the morning asks, "You don't mind if we get naked on the boat, right? I just got off shift, and don't want ...

Oh, we were supposed to be talking about chum...

Round these parts, the chum needs to be on the bottom, rather than a surface slick. A paper bag full of salmon guts and carcasses ziptied to the anchor seems to work well for me... especially when the current is running strong.

Damnit, Dave... My Wife just grounded me from the site for a week! You gotta give a guy some warning before you just sneak a great photo like that up in there! I at least need time to drag the laptop into another room without a female looking over my shoulder! Jeez!

For light personal use, either an 8wt fly line with 12# tippet, or 15# mono to play with the spring kings. For "heavier duty" charter use, I keep my salmon reels spooled up with 25# Mono in chartreuse... it's the only color I can see against the dark green evergreen background here... Bott...

Desert Dog-

Let me know when you need to come North to catch a mess of salmon or Halibut! Heard they shut down OR ComFish for salmon this year... any threats of a sport fishery closure?

Case, go up to the WELCOME forum there is a thread by Daddy'O on using Photobucket.com , it works real well for some of us . Yeah, I'm familiar with Photobucket. I've got my own server running a vBulletin forum, and I just had my pics uploaded to the wrong directory... I'm a retired computer progra...

Case, can you repost the pics? They did not seem to post. Okay, I'm not as much of a computer gee-nee-us as I thought... The pics are there for me... Is anyone else missing them? They are hosted at my server... http://www.cancancase.com/forum/introduce-yourself/2708-better-late-than-never.html (Of ...

Someone asked about my boat... (and politely implied that I wouldn't be getting any picture posting lessons here either! ;-) Oh, and I was getting a bit tired of looking at all that glass over at TBR too... ! -Case http://www.cancancase.com/templates/subSilver/images/Adventures_007.jpg http://www.ca...

Case, where you from in SE Alaska? Been there several time...one of my favorite places. Welcome. Juneau - born and raised. I've been getting so many bookings for charters out of or going to Petersburg, Sitka, Kake, Elfin Cove, etc. - hence the need for research and a new boat... With 11,000 or so m...

Stumbled across the board during a random google search... In the process of finding builders and dialoguing RE: building another new boat for my SE Alaska charter operation. I currently drive a 35' SeaWolf called the Can Can... wouldn't trade it for the world, except that too many folks want to cha...
