@@davegregovich3522 Great to hear that it helped

@@robertclutter5780 It's still one of the strangest things I've seen while fishing

@@BelaPearson-q9f glad it helped

My 2 cents fish the conditions not the spots. Big fish need to eat so start at where most the bait are holding

Thanks. Yes I'm doing well. The chicks were hatched naturally under the hen in December. These are the first hatched chicks of my off grid farm which was an unexpected gift. Hope you have a great holiday season.

@toddswitzer6799 Good to hear! A nice, cozy, warm bed for the baby chicks! Super great! An off the grid farm? Wow...what an amazing gift! Happy December to you!

Around 80 feet if I remember, but I've seen them caught in 30 feet. They follow the bait mostly.

Swiftsure Banks are about 12 miles from Hobuck Beach, Near Bay. I was a lot younger back in those days. Those days were 12+ hours in the kayak, doubt I'll ever be able to do that again.

Thank you. I'm still kicking but living inland and kayaking lakes and creeks for bass and crappie just doesn't make for the same excitement as a big springer King Salmon. I'm happy I recorded some of those big catches.

The SS tappers lasted about 5 years a few are still in but most I replaced with nut and bolts also SS. I began using it as a mini dump truck hauling up to 1500 pounds of stone at a time then things got stressed. The aluminum plate still looks great with a bit of dulling and battle scars, I've never regretted the choice.

Yes I should have brought one but it wasn't in the budget back then. So many lakes are just a mile or two back from the saltwater. Would be the perfect tool for exploring those lakes.

@@toddswitzer6799 I hear you, I've been about to buy a packraft since 2007 or so

From WA side. Great fishing in the shallow water around that channel by the coast guard station most boats fly past it

@@toddswitzer6799 thanks for the reply, can you share your launch location? Want to go there, but don't want to waste too much time looking for a launch.

@@sov19871987 it's been years since I've been there but I recall a decent local restaurant in Westport the locals always packed the place.

@@toddswitzer6799 😂😂😂😂. I hope that was sarcasm, because that is how I read it.c

@@sov19871987 lunch launch ha you know my mind is on food. The launch ramp across from Cape Disappointment is good but limited parking. It puts you on good water immediately. Those shallows hold a lot of fish sometimes

It's been many years since I ran that river but still remains one of the most technically challenging I've ever fished.

I remember looking at Paul Lake but ran out of time on that trip to get there. You are very lucky that place is magic and still haunts me.

It's been 4 years since I've been there and it's still the place I want to go back to when I can.

Sweet dreams. It's way past your bedtime anyway.

Why Thank You Very Much (in my best Elvis impersonation).

Great to hear about your cabin. I have built a cabin too and I live there now. And that Alaskan cabin in that video was also a huge inspiration for me to build my own. Best of luck to you.

@@toddswitzer6799 So glad to hear from you i was worried something had happened since you hadn't posted in so long. About your cabin...Video please!!!!!!!! I have some on my channel but its been a while since I did a updated vid. I'll have to do a update vid soon and I'd love for you to check it out! God bless!!

And I survived. But I always appreciate the working fishermen out there tho many say I'm crazy.

That was a Werner Cyprus (full carbon fiber). Yes they are super light but more importantly much stronger than fiberglass. I have chopped thru tree branches with it and it has almost no signs of damage. It saved my crunchy shoulder joints from further deterioration. If you're doing more than an hour or two of paddling around the local lake they are well worth the price.

I go out much farther than most. I've also had to rescue a few that have sworn that they can do it only flip or just fail in one way or another. I go alone and I can save myself if I need to.

Thank you for watching it.

You really need to study the winds and swells and tides then fit it all together. I learned from commercial fishermen but I still get it wrong about 10 percent of the time. When it's getting bad turn and get back in.

Scale weight on this truck is 3800 pounds (stock was 2900), the most I've hauled is 1700 which was too much, 1200 is a more reasonable limit. I estimate the flatbed is 500 pounds.

@@toddswitzer6799 Thanks so much for the quick reply. I have the same truck essentially(all stock). I am planning to built a custom truckbed camper. What weight would you suggest to be good enough to drive through mountains? I was thinking 800lbs at the very most, but would would like your opinion. Thank you P.s. its fuel injected

Thanks a lot

Glad you enjoyed it

The video shows MEK or Styrene Monomer as thinners, no more than 10% by volume. Acetone is for clean up only.

I only post the successful landings. I loose more at the net than I care to admit.

Guess I got lucky....again

That expedition boat is 1990 Necky Tesla.

In the PNW I'd recommend The Kayak Academy, if George (owner) is still teaching he is one of the best around. He is one of 3 other kayakers that I know of that have crossed the Dixon entrance to PoW Island, and he's done plenty of white water too. Good Luck and stay safe.

A great day of fishing that I won't forget.

They're like big rabbits....most the time.

Yes, I've spent many days in remote PNW and that's my first time hearing them.
