Adventures of a Stabicraft 2500 Ultracab XL, moored at the Embarcadero in Newport, Oregon. Our goal with this channel is to hit 100 subscribers so we can live stream the 2024 fishing season for those who can't make every trip.
Heck yea, that's awesome! There's one other pretty similar black Stabi out of Toledo ("Salt Mafia"), we're still working out the right name for ours. Love the boat though. Great day on the water, hope you fared well!
We counted over 50 boats off the lighthouse, it was a busy busy day on the water. Nothing better than seeing a bunch of people having fun and dipping nets!
Hey I’ve been keeping an eye on your channel, and I really like the content you’re creating. I noticed, though, that with 31 subscribers, your channel isn’t growing as fast as it could be. There’s so much potential here, and I’d love to help you increase your reach, engagement, and ultimately, monetization. I specialize in RU-vid channel analysis and growth strategies. Along with my dedicated automation team, I can help identify the areas that need improvement and craft a plan to elevate your channel to new heights. I’m excited about the possibility of working together. If this interests you, I’d love to discuss how we can make it happen.
Agreed. Reeling up 60 oz. of lead in 250 feet of water to check herring for integrity after halibut bites is not fun. It's even less fun in 600 feet of water. Even less fun in 1000+ feet of water! Electric reels have made grocery fishing less of a chore on our boat and expedited prospecting new spots. Highly recommended.
I just watched a guy use an electric motor to winch up a middling fish into a powerboat using artificial lures and a fish finding sonar. This is the opposite of sportsmanship.
No artificial lures were used, they are obviously using black label herring, you can tell by the size. You can't even offend people properly! What should the world expect from a "progressive house DJ"; talk about the most useless application of time...do you even know how to play a guitar?
@jtl909 You are obviously a well-regarded expert in this field. We very much appreciate your informed comment and wish you luck with your progressive house music DJ career.
Couple comments on your comment: (1) Oregon fishing regulations require the use of a barbless hooks. Coho are rarely going to make it in the boat without barbs on your hooks--they rodeo like crazy and will rarely be landed by hand. (2) We are in the "hatchery retention" only period where every fish must be inspected before harvesting, as the only retainable Coho are hatchery-raised with a clipped adipose fin--wild must be released. (3) A net touching a fish that eventually gets released is far, far less likely to result in damage (mechanically or through disease transfer). We have no interest in endangering a wild fish destined for release.
Let me know if you need any additional information, happy to help out. These are serious back-savers on the Pacific. Just like a medium travel, Fox equipped mountain bike and just as reliable.
Correction, the S5 platforms are 14.5" long by 10.5" wide and hang over about 1.25" on the stock welded seat platform (platform measures 13.75" x 11" in my boat).
