If you can strap your current crate down snug on all four corners, you can add a couple of Scotty mounts to each side of the crate by sandwiching pieces of plywood or cutting board bolted together and use that as mounting points.

Cool! Thanks for sharing! I was wondering where the striper have been lately.

would this be a decent kayak for slow wide river use? My dad is looking for one for to use on things like big river mendocino

It’s a very capable kayak in various conditions for the right person. I think the issue will be that the seat is very narrow so only a smaller paddler would fit.  Just let me know, I have a few bites but no takers yet.

For those that fish a lot there’s something to be said about having less parts and equipment to bring and break. **paddle yak**

Ive been experiment with this a lot lately. I’ve been doing it with striped bass. I’ve done anywhere from 1-6 days in the refrigerator. I like striped bass fresh but found that aging it creates more intense natural flavors and improves the texture without the extra moisture that tends to give the fish a watered down/watery flavor and texture. My process is learned from watching several YouTube videos and personal experiments. First, I like to scale the fish (although sukibiki would be preferable because striped bass skin is rather thick), then gut and remove all the blood. Afterwards i pat it as dry as possible and then I put the whole fish in the refrigerator on a rack that allows thorough circulation, completely uncovered. You’ll notice after the first day everything gets a bit dryer,  That’s day one. To avoid making the skin too hard and dry, the second day and everyday thereafter I keep it covered with paper towels to keep it from getting overly dry or trapping too much moisture. At this point I just want the fish to age and dry from the inside out instead of the outside in. I find for striper if eatin day 1-2 there still is too much moisture content to make much of a difference. Day 3-5 is my favorite, at this point the flavors of the fish come into play and the meat firms up because it’s now “dryer” and the natural oils are more infused into the meat creating a tasty deliciousness without being too spongy/flaky. Prepared just simply cooked skin side over heat with a little bit of salt. There is no fishyness to it until after day five. It’s personally one of my preferred methods now!

Gearing Up and Rigging Up / Re: HAKA
« on: October 29, 2022, 03:08:49 PM »
Nice! Thanks for sharing. I’ve got parts for the same project that I’m hoping to get done by crabbing season. I also picked up a Hobie hiking stick to extend the control of the rudder if I’m sitting out on the new Hakas. Let us know how the cam straps hold it all together. I was thinking to use ball bungees alone but have not tried it yet.
