Sorry to hear about your accident. Heal fast, bro.

I got my Gore-Tex Supernova Angler suit in May 2017 as a warranty replacement for my Hydrus 3.0 Supernova Angler suit, which had delaminated badly after 2 years of use. The Gore-Tex suit was much lighter, and it was great for 4 years. I sent it in for a leak test in January 2021, and was told it had minor delamination, and would be replaced under warranty.  :smt001 Unfortunately, Kokatat was out of stock of both Gore-Tex and Hydrous 3.0 dry suits, and would have to make me a replacement suit, which will not be ready until mid April.  :smt009

So for anyone thinking of sending in their Kokatat suit in for a leak test, I suggest holding on to it until Gore-Tex and Kokatat ramps back up their manufacturing capacity.

Do you troll with a down rigger or double deep 6?

My new battery would not charge because....my power strip was turned off! What a jackass! Took me three nights to figure it out.

That is a new one. Thanks for the laugh! :smt044

Nice fish! Remember to pinch its mouth closed on the hog trough. :smt044

Gearing Up and Rigging Up / Re: Diver trolling rod suggestions.
« on: July 27, 2018, 06:25:32 PM »
I troll double deep six using a 7' Trevala ML. The tip is stiff enough to troll a diver, but soft enough to absorb the shock of sudden runs.

And of course it is perfect for jigging for rockfish.

I use an ACR C-Strobe. It is super bright for night use. Not sure about using it during the day.

General Talk / Re: First time at Ocean Cove

Ocean cove should be protected against NW swells. Not much fish inside the cove, but there are lots of structures holding fish just outside.

Line the inside of a landing net with a large mesh bag.

General Fishing Tips / Re: Nets
« on: June 21, 2018, 02:32:06 PM »
32" x 41" is a HUGE net! While nets with large hoops are helpful in netting salmons and halibuts, they can be problematic when used from a kayak. They can act as a sail in high wind if stowed vertically in a rod holder and can be unwieldy to operate single handed.

Kayaks / Re: Who’s got the best seat?
« on: June 07, 2018, 12:51:15 PM »
I did thread lock mine after the left side unscrewed on the salt. Had to get out of the seat and hand thread the screw back in to finish the day fishing.

The same thing happened to me while trolling for salmon.  So fortunate the bolt stayed on the kayak. I thought it was a fluke, but it kept backing out on subsequent trips. Finally took the seat apart to thread lock the bolts.

The new Hobie seat, while comfortable, is of questionable build quality. The mesh fabric needs to be more durable. I have seen too many ripped seats. The hinges for the seat back need to be redesigned, or at the very least thread lock the bolts to prevent them from backing out.
