Craftsmen's Corner / Re: Hull Protection
« on: March 27, 2024, 02:57:29 PM »
I used Kydex myself and it’s doing its job so far. Used the strongest gorilla double sided tape I could find and silicone to outer edges.

Bringing back an old thread.  My keel guards peeled off the other day - the JB Plastic Weld did NOT bond well with the hull, and the silicon caulk was basically what was holding them on. 

This is gonna be controversial, but I'm considering riveting them to the hull.  I have some waterproof rivets - I'm thinking two along the front edge and one at the rear.  Silicon caulk or RVT sealant along the edges and at the rivets.

If I chicken out and don't rivet them in place, I will use the double sided gorilla tape and silicon caulk the edges. 

Wondering why all kayaks don't have built in replaceable skid pads at the corners/edges?  Seems like a no-brainer to me.

 
My only concern about the rivet is if you hit a stump/rock or whatever, and it tears the rivets out, now you have exposed holes below the waterline.

Tip: When building lures, I do all my work in a shallow baking sheet. That keeps those pesky little parts from rolling away. I learned this the hard way when my wife stepped on a #4 hook that found its way to the carpet.

I feel your pain. You pop open those packs and the dam things go everywhere! Just go to your local craft store. They'll have an assorted sizes of bead boxes for only a few dollars.

While fishing for Kings at Folsom lake a few weeks back we were approached by the Wardens in a boat. We asked if they wanted up to stop and reel in our lines. The said, No keep fishing. We'll just pull along side and keep pace with you. The asked us to hold up our licenses so he could see them with their Binoculars. We did. They thanked us and moved off. There's no way that they could have seen them if we had them on our phones.

Jesus this is sad. I think that if you cant spell these simple words by the end of Jr. High/Middle School, There's no way you should be allowed to go to high school. Unfortunately, I can picture a lot of 18 year old's stuck in 8th grade!

Had a great day! Met Mark at the ramp and got on the water about 9:00. Trolled towards the dam and picked up a 11” Kokanee. Marked a few fish here and there but no schools in front of the dam. Thinking, uh oh, this is not looking too good. On a usual day we get our 5 fish limit by the time we get to the end of the dam. Caught up with Mark there. We continued to go up the South East arm. Nothing. Only a mark every once in a while. Stuck it out and kept going all the way to the back of the arm. Bingo, started marking fish everywhere from 15-40’. For the next 4 hours it was hit after hit. Ended up the day landing 17 Kokes and 2 Rainbows. Had tons of short strikes and lost 6 at the net. Not exactly on fire fishing. Usually we land 30 or so each. Still, there was plenty of action to keep it interesting. Brought home 5 Kokes and the two Rainbows. The rest and many more are still there waiting for you. Mark, it was a pleasure meeting and fishing with you. Congratulations on breaking your Kokanee cherry!                Kevin

My trailer was stiff too. Any bump or pothole and it was all over the place. I removed one of the leaf springs and it runs really well now.

Hi Kevin,
I am thinking of going to sly midweek next week.... how the fishing been?

Thanks
Troy

Not sure Troy. With the recent storms, I haven't been to Bullards or Sly in two months. Hearing that Bullards is putting out nice sized fish so I'd bet money that Sly Creek is even better.

The Kokanee are calling me! The weather will be perfect. Several of us will be launching at Dark Day at 8am. If you need a fix, come on up and join us. We'll be on Ch69.

The guys that I'm talking about are all experienced freshwater fishermen so no need for basic instruction. We have been getting all of the safety gear collected and familiarized with. We're just looking for someone to show us what to use, how to rig and where to go at ARW.

Good chance I'll be there Saturday (5/11/24).  Is there a sign up or sumthin' to be in the derby?  Or just show up and put my $10 in the hat?
  Just give the 10 spot and any donations, if so inclined to Brian or myself.

100%, Ken, Adrian and I, and I'm sure several others are ready to get salty!
It would be awesome if there was a get together set up with all the salt newbs and a few seasoned vets to show up the ropes.
Maybe start at ARW for Halibut first and then another one later for venturing out on the big blue!

BigDistance1, you might want to jump on this. You could cancel your School House reservation and and join in the Fuckery with us at the Dark side!
