I have a brand new in the box Raymarine rudder reference for sale. I already had one on the boat when I installed my new autopilot last year. $200.00 I will be at the ELOSTA tackle sale this weekend or I can ship it at the buyers expense. SOLD!

I can become a bull head pro for a day! Maybe I can bring the 16 side console down...Slap some stickers on her and play ball! HHHmmmm time to find an earthworm sponsor..

LOL!!! Be sure and put it your list of major Accomplishments Rick!

Ford vs Chevy is for the Cannon, Scotty debate. Owning Big Jons would be like owning a Toyota...It looks like a truck just doesn't perform like one!

We have moved it. Here is the info http://www.lakeontariounited.com/fishing-hunting/topic/48910-elosta-tackle-swap-and-seminar-march-14-2015/

His number is 315 515 8278. Hope to see you all there! Brian

In terms of overall it is to soon but as of the meeting they were 2 days into Chinook egg take and they were half done with 2 million eggs so far and saw no issue with wrapping up Chinook egg take probably early this week. Plenty of fish at the hatchery for the egg take.

We had a nice crowd of 30 or so for our annual meeting at the hatchery. I apologize that I have not posted a summary I have been away from my computer. I will try and get one out on this thread. In the meantime it was regurgitated material from the meeting in Rochester... They are all on the same page...

There is a balcony inside you can see the indoor raceways from. Also you can still see the outdoor raceways if there is enough daylight. See you there.

For the 10th year in a row we will be having our last meeting of the year at the Salmon River hatchery. It is October 15th at 7pm in the meeting room at the Hatchery. This is our opportunity to talk with Dave Lemon and his staff about the fishery and to hear updates from Andy Gruelwich the hatchery manager on how the egg take is proceeding. We will also have Scott Prindle there as well he is our region 7 biologist and is tasked with all the Net Pens in our area. This is a great time to meet and interact with our local regional people. I hope to see you all there. Brian

Dr Lou out of curiosity were those kings clipped or not that you were catching there?

Yes they do. They have a committee. Tom at Capt Jacks is very involved. And last I heard had his staff do the feeding.

Jeff, I struggled for a few years trying to find a load that would shoot out of a Remington 870 20 gauge rifled deer gun for Marlene. Made to shoot slugs. I tried everything. The best shooting slugs were the cheap rifled remington slugs that wal mart sells. I couldnt believe it after spending countless dollars trying to find a straight shooting slug from this gun. Cortland Wal Mart has them.

Ditto what Tom said. Your specific boat may need a few adjustments but the autopilot is a stud. I put 750 hours on one this year. Either motor trolls well. It will be perfect after I add large rudders over the winter. The new Hydro steer on it really helps. Pair it with a remote and the only reason to go to the helm is a speed adjustment.
