That's a good looking Supra! Make sure you check out the Boat Bling line up to help keep that thing shinning. Congrats on the new boat, let's see it in the water.Quote:

Yeah, their nets can be 1/4 of a mile long and they're allowed to place their nets across the commercial shipping channel. Now that I know what to look for, I can weave through them in the future. But there's little to no education out there to let other boaters know what's up.Quote:

LOL. I had more neoprene I could have put on (the bottoms to my old farmer johns). so basically I could have been in a 3/2 setup pretty easy. I could have even put on my ski gloves. But really with water around 68 and that much adrenaline, it wasn't necessary. Thank God for the dive mask, snorkel, and floating knife.Quote:

Gotta watch damaging nets as it is a sensitive subject with the tribes and F&G.
Yep. On the flip-side, think about how mad they got that some 'pleasure-boater' was running a boat across their nets cutting them up. Ha Ha.Quote:

Love this thread! I just got myself a moomba after years of wanting one...
I will post pics soon I hope. Going to get it late next week!
2007 Mobius LSV 1 owner and only 99hours. It looks to have been pampered and well taken care of!
Got it at the same dealer that sold it new and has serviced it every year. I had to jump on it!
CAN'T WAIT!
Welcome!

Yeah, I get it. I can see it from their side. I'm sure they HATE ignorant wakeboat owners with fancy blinged out blue LED's and a loud stereo.Quote:

I can pretty much guarantee that there was no love lost on either side.
Been there and used that a couple of times on a boat. Can't say I seen a floating knife, I need to took that up.Quote:

With smooth water, first up is always a slalom run.

After a couple head slappers at 30mph, I've been getting more vigilant about preventing headaches. Got a new decal at a ski movie premier that was quite fitting:

We need a "like" feature on this forum. I agree. The wifey being into the boat as much is a major bonus.

Wife and son of course got their surf on. I let my son use one of my "surf hats" to add some style. Water temp started at 60 and finished at 70.

So we slept in, got on the water about 11am. Had rad conditions for most of the day. I did slalom, then the wife and son did long surf sets, then I wakeboarded, then I surfed. and after chilling a while, the water was even smoother with no one else out, so I broke out the slalom ski again.
When we left at 5pm, we were all tired in a good way and had this to ourselves with no other boats around:

I almost felt guilty having this all to myself.

How do you think salmon get to the stores?

By the way, did you speak to the Capt. after you ran over his net? You are liable for damages to the net. Pretty healthy fine if you left the scene and didn't report it to the Capt.Quote:

I would have taken that net and cut it out of my boat and gave them and ear full. Call me an asshole, but that shouldn't be allowed and seems like a huge safety concern. I ride the Columbia a lot up here in my area and luckily never came across this.Quote:

The gill netter's boat was over against the barges (green star) and the net stretched across the yellow line. That part of the river is about 2000 feet wide.Quote:

Like I said, I was ignorant of what I was supposed to be looking for. I've most certainly done plenty of outings on the boat during their seasons, but it seems they must be doing it at night. Because when I looked it up, their season extends to 9/30 and they weren't out at all yesterday. But that night, it was a maze of their nets.
The chill in the air this morning made me realize the mojo will be winterized and packed away soon. But we just bought into the the campground we go to so we will be out a few more times closing that up and getting some late season runs in. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...90e14bac63.jpg

Feeling kinda naked without my Bimini operational but I'm really pumped about the pirate flag. Didn't snap any pics on water today but had a really nice glass day with the lake to ourselves being late season in colorado. Air was about 52 and water 65, perfectly fine for us :)
