Finished up the behind the console wiring and battery relocation. Not perfect but everything is at least tucked away. Gonna be sore for a couple days 😄.
Working my way through last year's salmon in the freezer. I'm adding this one to the regular rotation for worknight meals for sure.

Anything from Kenji is usually phenomenal. Lots of good stuff from him on seriouseats.com, I'm sure there is some of his wok articles there too. It's a bummer I can't follow him on Instagram anymore after I made what I thought was a harmless jab about his beer choice and he blocked me 😂.
Still pays to shop around every couple years. I just renewed through Progressive a couple weeks back for $600 per 6 months. 3 cars, 2017 Nissan, 2017 Mazda, 2005 Saab. I also have my homeowners and boat insurance through Progressive.
Before Progressive I had Esurance, and before Esurance I...
Yep I got the Cortland Compact Type 9 this last summer as well. I used it exclusively as my open water coho line. There aren't many beaches where you wouldn't be snagging bottom with that thing it sinks like a rock.
I fish a Type 3 out of the boat probably 80% of the time or better. On the...
Next project. Relocating battery to the center console on the Whaler. The factory location in the 80s was in the stern on the deck and I want to free up some space and get the wires off the deck. Decided to go nuts and am redoing all the accessory wiring from scratch. It's a pretty basic setup...
Decided to clean up the top of the console on the Montauk. I forgot to take a before pic but this gives you an idea.
I got rid of the vhf marine radio and 3ft antenna that kept getting in my way and replaced it with a New Horizon handheld unit.
I've seen a few different ways of covering the...
Most of my river fishing is walk and wade style, and I've fished the Yakima a bit and I really enjoy it, especially when I've had a chance to fish it with a boat. I don't have a raft or drift boat yet, but am interested in just renting one from Red's the 2 or 3 times a year I get over that way...
This was a case of "I should have just coughed up the dough the first time".
The $20 Amazon knuckle buster:

This was an alcohol fueled purchase from eBay. I cannot believe how much these things cost, but I at least found a new/open box for almost half of what these cost...
Can I piggy back on this? I'm in the market as well. I'd also be interested in hearing from anyone with experience with the newer Motorguide xi3 and xi5 spot lock trolling motors.
The one advantage I saw with the Garmin motors was being able to integrate it with the Garmin fish finders/chart...
All hearsay, but there was a post on one of the Puget Sound fishing FB pages from a WDFW employee last week that said electronic catch cards and licenses are coming later this year. Fingers crossed!
I've played around a bit on this site: https://www.deepzoom.com/ It shows predicted current, you can compare it with a tide chart to see how long after high or low tide slack is.
