Salmon slamming in the V-21
 

Just got back for the west coast of Brithsh Columbia with the -21. Brett and myself had a blast we got lots of salmon ( Chinook and Coho ) Halibut, Ling cod, Octopus Crabs, Prawns..... :laugh: The weather was awsome had flat seas for most of it good thing we run up the coast 30 miles from port every morning to the salmon hole then all over the place for bottom fish and then the daily three hour tour to GPS fishing holes in use. We had an eagle fallow us all day eating the small Sable fish we cought and went after our hearring bait's if you didn't get them down quick enough and we had a killer whale crusing around one day. the boat run like a top crused at 35 MPH @ 4000 RPM almost every were

Then with all the rain we are having up here we left Prince Rupert at 12:00am on friday for a 13 hr drive and got home at 11:30pm the next day due to a few land slides. Good news on that is I Spotted 2 more Wellcrafts around Wiliams lake B.C and the gave me the O'L Wellcraft owners salute when we showed them pics of our quest.
Take care boy's and get BETTER MJ hope these help a bit

Mountians
 

O yea for all who have not been lucky to come north the two pics of me holding the salmon those mountians behind me is the most southren tip of the Alaskan pan handle we were only 10 -15 miles from the line.

TOTALLY BADASS.....thank you for sharing. What is your fuel burn with the V21/200hp combo? I run a V21/150hp.

nice pics, after fishing in 100 degree heat, i'm ready for some cool fishing...

That looks like a good time on the water.

Man that is some beautiful country out there. Got to get there someday.....

You are one lucky SOB Redneck to live in such gorgeous country! I envy you along with many others on here.

Is that your tow vehicle?????????

Awesome, the country and the pics, had the good fortune of spending some time camping and fly fishing in B.C. Cherish those sights.
Thanks:clap:

nice very cool pics......:beer::beer:

nice boat, nice fish, and nice scenery.....looks like "frontierland" up there.

Not to sure of the rate just pulled the boat up to the dock opened the wallet and closed my eyes. I was using about half a tank a day doing some long runs around 75 miles per day and trolling for salmon with the kicker. I didn't want to run the kicker off of the main tank but the guy who owned it before my did the fuel line set up the right way with a filter that has splitters on it. a flow meter is high on my list to install this fall should have solid info for you next spring.

HAHAHAHA!!!!!
We were the talk of town with that one ( RICH ALBERTA BOY'S ):head:.Yes and no we towed her up there with it yea. To bad it's not mine it belongs to Brett's brother in law who uses it to pull his car hualer and race cars. It's a 1800 mile round trip for us to go out there from home and we have to cross three mountian ranges on the way. My half ton is just not up to the job now I'm in the market for a deisle pick up.

Awesome: Boat, Catch, Tow-rig, Pictures and story. Thanks for sharing with us flatlanders in the south. :clap::beer:

Any time I'll do that for you all any day I might have to trade someone a fishing trip one day

Thanks man. Another question for you - when trolling with the kicker do you use the big motor as a rudder for steering? The times I've used my kicker that is what I've done. Works pretty good if you don't need to do a tight turn, in which case I'll walk back there and grab the tiller handle. My little motor needs a seal in the propshaft so I haven't used it since fall.

No need for that We use a quick connect air chuck fitting ( female ) on both moters and a brace with ( male ) connectors that have a ball jointo on each end. Just got up to work when I get home in a few weeks I will take a pic for you. It works great start the kicker and steer from the Capt chair stay dry up here or out of the sun down there. I made the motor adapters my self and bought the bar.

These pics are AWESOME! I love the pic of the bald eagle. I really have to get my V21 out of the Raritan Bay and trailer it somewhere nice.

You tow 1800 miles round trip just to take the V out? I drive 145 miles round trip and it seems so damn long @ a 2 hour drive one way! That's some dedication there. Simply awesome and nice tow rig for sure.

Very dedicated!!!! I simply live to fish. I just go there fish for salmon and bottom fish for the frezzer and enjoy some of the last places were there are few pepole around. I live in central Alberta and fish in Lesser Slave lake it's a big lake 115Km long and 18 Km wide full of Walleye.

There is no distance I will not go to catch a fish:sand:

Send pics when you do love your boat!:beer:

I'll be looking for the steering contraption pictures. That sounds awesome! I'd love to be able to steer the kidker from the helm. Very sweet.

This is why I sometimes miss the West Coast. Lings are about my favorite fish and those are some big 'uns. Nice work skipper :clap:
