TOP SECRET

Hey Mike! The first post in this thread now has the up to date team list. The two in yellow are TBD right now and I'm waiting to hear if they will be able to make it. There is still one spot open as well for boat #25.

A big thank you to Dreamweaver who will also be participating in the Salmon Slam this year! It's going to be a great tournament for a great cause. We still have two spots open for any teams interested!

Not to mention destroying your prop when you forget to raise your outdrive!

Power loading is when you drive your boat onto the trailer and then give it gas to drive it all the way onto the trailer. The prop wash washes out the gravel under the concrete ramp causing it to bow and crack. Very bad. Speed at the ball is measured with a probe on your downrigger. Search for Fish Hawk and Depthraider to see what they are.

That boat plug sign would have helped me once or twice lol

A big thank you to Frabil and Plano who have rejoined our Salmon Slam team again this year! What surprises will they bring to the cause this year?

Sounds good Mike!

Andy they can't put up signs for everything we aren't supposed to do. Several years ago I read an article on how bad power loading is on the ramp and now I winch my 24' heavy as heck Bayliner. If I can do it, so can most, but I don't think most know the damage it can cause. John, great report, but how do you keep your dipseys from taking drag at those speeds?

Just got word... there will be sharks circling the prize table for this year's Salmon Slam...

Big fish Friday is a go for Friday August 1st. Rules are the same as last year, $50 per boat with 50% going to the winner and 50% to the Salmon Slam for wounded and disabled Veterans and Servicemen. You can begin fishing anytime after 12:01 AM and from any port, but must weigh in at Arneys Marina by 4PM. You do not need to participate in the Salmon Slam to fish BFF. There will be a dinner afterwards again this year for anyone who would like to come meet some fellow anglers and Vets. I'm still working on the location. Payment must be received by Thursday July 31st. You can send me a check by mail (message me for my address), drop it off at my boat at Arneys Marina, or paypal me at [email protected]. If you have any questions, please let me know!
