Northwest Fishing Reports

And now the next question, what charger should I get? I'm assuming any 2-5 amp charger with an auto-off would be fine?

So in theory the 101 AH rating at 1 Amp pull would estimate the runtime of a 30 amp trolling motor to be around 3 hours and 11 minutes when running at full capacity, the RC rating of 65 would suggest around 2 hours and 10 minutes, so I am guessing I should assume it would work for around 2 hours if ...

Alright, so i went to return this battery at Walmart. They tried telling me I couldn't return it because I had used it. I told them to bring a manager over, and told him one of their associates was the reason I bought this battery, and I wasn't going to pay for someone else's ****-up. Long story sho...

Longer and more slender with less color sounds like Kokanee to me. I have no idea what is in the lake though, I've never fished it. The ones that had more color, if they were between 8 and 12 inches, were probably your regular stockers.

I think I'd rather have it go bad just before the warranty, so I could get a new one for free xD

Going to try to upload it off of my machine to see if it does the same thing, just for fun. IMG_1910.JPG IMG_1910.JPG IMG_1910.JPG Holy ...

Will something like this work? https://www.batteriesplus.com/battery/marine-and-boat/deep-cycle/bci-group-24m/sli24mdc Listed as 75 AH, no RC listed unfortunately, from what I can see. One concern is that under the "Specifications" tab it states "Product Sub Category: Starting Lighting And Ignition....

The motor is a rear mount 30 pound thrust minn kota, and is my primary source of propulsion on my single-man pontoon. I do not have money to burn, I'm on disability and saving for college, my monthly budget is less then some of the batteries I've seen for sale on the market, lol. No point in buying ...

That's actually a great idea for protecting weak points. Makes me wonder if it would work with silicone, since it is waterproof and very flexible. In theory you could probably do the same with PVC to form a tougher protective layer on the bottom of your pontoon to protect from abrasions during launc...

So I went to Wal-mart a few weeks ago to pick up a battery for my 30 pound thrust minn kota trolling motor. This was my first trolling motor, and I had no idea about any battery stuff, so I just went to the person at the auto section by where the batteries are sold, and told him I needed a battery f...

Be careful with methyl ethyl ketone as a cleaner, it is a very strong solvent, and if it gets anywhere near ABS plastics, it will melt it. When I worked for a production shop, we used MEK and ABS plastic in a paint mixer to make our own glue. I suppose as long as you don't let it pool you won't have...

Has anyone ever tried near the Mukilteo pier for lings? My dad caught a tiny one off of the pier one day when we fished until just after dusk. It was only 8 inches long or so, but may be an indicator that there are some bigger ones nearby. I know that area can be used with smaller boats because ther...

Just wanted to give a HUGE thank you to Mike, Rob, and Aaron for an amazing event yesterday! I had a blast hanging out with NWFR members, eating some great food, and listening to some awesome live music. I even convinced my mother to try the casting competition! (We both scored 0, along with about 8...

I've never used a mac before. My uncle on my mother's side is a graphics designer in the Atlanta area and he uses a mac, I can send him an e-mail to ask, but I bet someone on the forums uses apple products, would be much faster getting info from them, his business is run through his e-mail so he is ...

Just needed to make them a bit smaller, it's a pixel-size issue, not a size or file type issue. Not sure what the minimum requirements are though, I just guessed at a percentage of the original, and it worked

Can you attach it to an e-mail and send it to me? I can try uploading it as well if you'd like.

Hahaha, you guys are too funny. Yeager's is awesome, I remember frequenting that store while attending Bellingham Technical College, I drove within a couple miles of it every day between school and work, and have spent many dollars I never intended to on fishing gear from their store, great prices ...

Was this during the winter? When I started BTC's broodstock program the males would get significantly recessed gumlines close to spawning time, even if they couldn't spawn yet. If they've been in there for 6 years they probably definitely were able to spawn though, unless they were triploids. Ponds ...

I grew up in the Lake Stevens area but the only time I fished it was from the public dock, just caught a handful of yellow perch. I never was a fan of big lakes, I enjoy the smaller lakes. Usually less people, no skiers/jetskiers, more concentrated fish. They may be smaller in size but usually much ...
