Northwest Fishing Reports

Well, I found a 18HP Short Shaft Merc and it runs like a swiss watch its perfect for that boat and I have an Electric Motor....

Good point also on drying out. There is a test and you can Google it, tap it with a US quarter. Tap on a known good spot and listen, then tap the damaged area and start tapping out and Mark with a sharpie. You can tell difference between good material and damaged material. Use West Systems 105 Epoxy...

Oh and no that damage is not just cosmetic. Anytime you get into the fiberglass, it needs to be sealed. Fiberglass will absorb water then in the winter if it freezes it will expand and cause further damage. Think of putting a can of soda in the freezer, needs to be and least sealed. Take a file and ...

if you dont replace the damaged fibers it likely will crack in the same spot. the good news is, fiberglass is cloth and glue basically. So if you screw it up, cut it out and do it again... Or patch it and then in off season send it to a fiberglass shop for a pro repair. Where are you located?

We have horses and trail ride and adhere to LNT practices. I'm looking for some suggestions for a good lake to fish. And any other Trail riders who frequent this forum, would like to hear of past trips. Maybe even plan some trips.

Anyone here ever Launch a trailered boat on this lake? I dont have a problem backing a trailer down there. Im just wondering how far to back in before it gets deep enough to float my 13ft Livingston with electric motor?

Me and my wife and Daughter have horses. My plan is take them camping at Cayuse Horse Camp north of Cle Elum this summer. It is close to Salmon La Sac and Cooper River. The plan is to grab a pack rod or three and maybe pull out some dinner for the camp fire. I've seen a few reports on Cooper River, ...

Here what some others are saying on Different forums. The Livingston being a Cat hull design wont exhibit the Roll effect that a similar sized Vee bottom would with the Long shaft motor... so only thing you might gain is 5 or so inches less draft in shallow water and a bit more drag... And the drift...

I have an older 70's 13ft Livingston Boat. I have two motors I can put on it. 1)90's 9.9hp Mariner Long shaft tiller 2 stroke. 2)early 70's Johnson 20hp long shaft tiller 2 stroke. I will be using the boat mainly for fishing small lakes. I will be fishing Kokanee and Sockeye. Those need a Slow troll...

Late report, we made it to the lak and was very windy and rough water. Along with the bottle of Fireball the night before made it an easy decision to keep the boat on the trailer. We have a yearly memorial for my cousin we lost years ago and that was the main reason for going... We did however manag...

Thanks for the info... I'll do a report when I get back. Going to scout the river from lake toward 410 as well.

I have two of them and I'm looking for parts for one of them.I need the brake level. If you have one or a whole downrigger you want to download let me know thanks.

Im headed over for some camping at Bumping Lake this weekend and thought I would bring my Livingston over and f...
