Re: Steaming Crab?

We usually only do six or fewer crabs at a time as that's all we need for the meal. Tradition is to boil salt water in the pot, add some Guiness, give some Guiness to the person cooking (that's me!)...

Re: Entry Level Pronghorn Rifle for under $1000?

I shot my Wyoming antelope with a 30-30 Winchester lever action and open sights. I do agree with others that a Savage rifle from a place like BiMart is a very high value choice and will provide years...

Re: Lessons learned/Lucky to be alive

Glad it ended safely for you Hoghunter. For those that have never had to swim with your clothes on it is not easy - especially in cold water.

Re: Drain hole in side of driftboat?

I have an older Radon fiberglass drift boat with a drain hole in the side right behind the rower's seat. Works fine and never had a problem. It would be very difficult for a rock to knock it loose.

Re: Best 5-6 HP kicker

I have a six HP Suzuki on my driftboat. It seems to vibrate less then the Nissan (Tohatsu/Mercury) that I had previously. I could never get the friction lock on the Nissan to hold the motor straight...

Re: Fin for kicker ona driftboat?

I had one on the six horse on my fiberglass drift boat and took it off for two reasons. First, it really didn't help much because by nature of the design of a driftboat you cannot get enough speed to...

Re: Man Over Board on Columbia...

In addition to the PFD, might not hurt to tie a whistle to it if fishing solo. This could be your lifeline to getting someone's attention

Re: anybody have a Netarts crabbing report?

For safety reasons I only crab the incoming tide. Makes it a whole lot easier if there is an engine failure. It is amazing how many go out on the ebb tide with one engine and in boats too big to row....

Re: What to look for when buying used boat?

Another possible consideration could be a drift boat with outboard. They are very stable in the bays for crabbing and work well on lakes and rivers. You won't go anywhere fast but you will get there...

Re: Outboard:Clacka SSG 16 Driftboat
