    Any West coasters out there.

    Where you stationed at? Whidbey, Bermerton, Everett? I don't know of any clubs per say, but there's lots of good fishing in the rivers. Snohomish comes to mind, and of course there's a bunch of lakes. I used to take mine into Puget Sound and go crabbing, but only on very calm days. Wouldn't...

    Where you fishin' this Labor Day weekend?

    Near or far? Camping? New lake or the old stand by? I'm headed up to Stampede Reservoir (Cali) tomorrow with my neighbor across the street. We're gonna be trolling for trout.

    Sunglasses!

    keep an eye on www.steepandcheap.com. I have 2 pairs of Oakleys I picked up from there for under $50 each. They also have Maui Jim's, Costa's, Smith's, and some other's on occasion. Pretty good deals almost all of the time.

    Purse Party

    for some reason this thread reminds me of this joke: A keen country lad applied for a salesman's job at a city department store. In fact, it was the biggest store in the world - you could get anything there. The boss asked him, "Have you ever been a salesman before?" "Yes, I was a salesman in...

    Anyone else smoke a pipe?

    I have a few pipes and enjoy them on occasion. I love to bring them on camping trips and the like, as most people seem to find it wonderfully hilarious when a 25 year old lights up a Sherlock Holmes.

    Howdy everyone...

    Well, got her home. Marathon 13 hour drive from north of Seattle to Reno. That's 0 ft above sea level to 5,000 ft at my house. The tag on the back says "Lowe Big Jon" and it measures at 1670. Here's a few pics.

    Howdy everyone...

    So I talked to my dad today for a bit about the boat. Apparently it was a Lowe demo unit in the late 70's. The center console and decking was put in by the factory many moons ago. I'm still not sure how long or wide it is, but if memory serves it's probably 16'+. My grandfather bought it off...

    hand gun

    My piece of advice would be to go find a range that rents handguns and spend a few hours trying different ones out seeing what fits you the best. All major manufacturers put out quality hardware, so don't worry too much about "brand envy" Second, a .22 is a good caliber to start with, and a...

    Howdy everyone...

    Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I missed the "members introduction" thread. If a mod would like they can merge this with that thread.

    Howdy everyone...

    Very nice to see a forum dedicated to the infamous jon / alum boat. I am a tinkerer by hobby, though certainly not by skill, and generally spend hours of my time reading about cool ways to modify stuff. Used to be jeeps and pickups into rock crawlers. Now my dad says, "The duck boat is taking...
