This boat looks a bit bigger than your previous. Didn't feel like going out in the little one?

Went out with some friends on a nice Striper Walkaround.  There were a lot of boats out there similar to mine, but we had 4 guys.  My boat can only fish two guys in relative comfort.  And my manual riggers SUCK.  So nice to use electrics.

Nice Pics. Try the two part JB weld for the rivet holes. Fill the boat up. Find the holes.  Empty the boat.Circle the holes as best as you can with black felt or stick a piece of small wire through the hole then you can see it from the other side (outside or inside). Dry inside. Use shammies for the last moisture. Mix the JB let sit for a bit to thicken. Do the outside of the boat then the inside. I have a 80's ish 14' mirrorcraft so I know the drill. Always finding new pin holes but never the ones I already repaired yet. Good luck.

Damien,
Did you weigh that fish or measure it? Looks like a real beauty.  What colour was the meat?

Mouth of the cap was slow on Saturday. Around 60 boats and I saw maybe 6 hookups from noon to 4.
Lots of Coho jumping in shallow, but really no one was targeting them.
My buddy went to South Arm earlier in the week and got skunked.
