A nice piece added to the kit recently is a Hummingbird Fishin' Buddy.
Decent all in one rig suitable for small boats, float tubes and pontoon/catarafts.
Opt'd for the one with side-scan capabilities. Helped us dial in some schools of perch two weekends ago and brought a couple of dozen home to eat. A bit boney but nice pan frying fish.

Cool, glad to see you're enjoying your FL. Mine may have one or two more trips before the water freezes up then she sits until spring thaw

Great job on the boat, love the finish work! Nice pics too.
Re: FL12 - NW Trout - ***SPLASHED***
Still enjoying the boat
Crabbing for Dungies on Saratoga Passage. About a 40 degree difference between this year and last.... 2010 was high 90s - low 100.... This year mid 50s - low 60s.
Crabbing catch rate was just as good and enjoyable (despite wind, rain and temps)
Next up... Pink Salmon are starting their move into Puget Sound

I recognize the cabins at Camas? Nice to see the update. It is pretty cool to see you are able/comfortable taking the Fl 12 off of the Camas beach, and with two crab pots to boot! I guess if you go on a glass water day and keep a reasonable distance, you'd be OK. I spend a lot of time in the Sound on a 14' deep hull Lund, and it can get dicey sometimes.
Boat looks great.

Yep. Camas Beach. And later the weather got not so great. Rain and 2-3 foot swells. Worked to keep the bow pointed into the waves and did okay. Barely got splashed but a fair amount of slapping on the bottom.

Still going, still plying the calm waters of Puget Sound.... this time under the power of 13-yr-old boys, in hopes of some returning salmon...
However only a dogfish was caught. Along with the normal, but smaller crab pot haul.
Next stop, local lakes for perch and crawdads.
