    Anybody with timely info please chime in . Thanks

    Pretty tough for very many people to see poster boards and very cumbersome to flip through. A PowerPoint slide show is a great tool for talking to groups large and small not to mention way faster than drawing all those diagrams and then the concerns about keeping them from getting dirty or wet between different seminars/shows.

    Then copy a ‘blank’ version multiple times on numerous ‘slides’ and you can then edit each one of the slides to show the different presentations. Naturally if you have some different hardware alternatives ( 3 vs. 4 riggers, inlines vs. big boards etc) then those will need to have multiples made of each other since it’s more than just the baits or core vs copper vs mono on the reels. I used to do a lot of these sorts of things for training seminars in dairy processing but the idea is the same. If you switch the power point slides manually then you will have time to discuss variations and answer questions before going on to the next variation

    I was thinking similarly, but it’s unusual for ice to be completely absent

    What’s wrong with that template? Seems like it would work and it isn’t too busy or complicated.Put that on a PowerPoint slide and ‘Bob’s yer Uncle’

    Which ones do you use and which band to attach? Thanks

    I have been unable to find a source for echips and rattles. I ordered some 2 1/2 inch squids from Netcraft and some 8 packs of peanut flys from Howie.

    Already went that route.Lot's o' schematics related to cannon and other downriggers and for that inexpensive cannon plastic low profile swivel but not for the aluminum swivel pedestal. I'll just tear it apart 'farmer style' and see what I can see. They aren't terrible at $110 apiece but it all adds up..

    Ha!! - but you were with me in 'Dr. Jeykll's' boat , 29' Predator (forgot his actual LOU moniker at the time and haven't heard from him in years...) when I brought in a nice coho back on Labor Day in 2008 or 2009.

    Looking for a source for the rattles, echips, little twinkie flies and beads to rebuild some some rigs. I don't need bait heads, hooks.

    A pair of well worn Cannon pedestal pivot mounts were on the Crestliner SST Sabre hull I bought some years ago. I'm a lucky bastard that what happened yesterday didn't happen going down the highway and that is that the starboard side center pin/bolt that enables the upper assembly with the rigger mount and rigger to pivot around the base fastned to the hull broke clean off. I did order a new one because I might need to fish soon but I am wondering if the thing can be dissassembled and that bolt/pin replaced? If anybody has done this let me know and I'll rebuild the broken one and swap it out for the remaining original on the port side. Note: the starboard side pivot was way sketchier than the port from the get go but 'seemed' to be holding up ok...)

    I think this is very complex stuff. If the overall alewive population (I'm not talking about a single year class) decrease continues on Ontario, as it has been on Huron and Michigan then it seems worthwhile considering increasing steelhead and coho as opposed to chinook stocking since it seems likely that more smaller predator fish would provide a more finely tuned and flexible tool to manage the fishery. As a charter captain I am keenly aware of the demand and desire of catching a big chinook on the other hand a good supply of catchable steelhead and coho would supply a lot of demand too. Utimately, I just hope we are: #1. - aware as anglers and captains that the overall lake fishery is goddamm complicated and involves a lot of constantly changing dynamics. And # 2.- that we are stocking the right species for the right reasons and not bending a complicated balance to meet some individualized preference.

    Sobering as hell! This work has been done by individuals who are a specialized breed of trained scientists (hey guys- this is a real thing not some kind of BS. You wouldn't expect the run of the mill automechanic to be a carb expert but that's the equivalent of what these environmental toxin experts are). I'm not sure exactly how I will respond to this research but it won't be by spitting out a knee jerk reaction essentially relagating the information to the ' Everything is fine, don't worry' department. The sooner anglers and hunters become outspoken advocates for our ecosystem the greater the odds it will be here for our children's children and their children.

    An interesting read. Thanks

    We shared a lot of smoking details with each other. Fortunately He will be with me in the ‘pit’ and the seat of the trucks I drive forever

    Long time LOU member and friend Skipper 19 aka Mark Schuman passed away on Monday after a long chronic illness. Mark lived as proud and gracious an existence as any man I know. He was always ready to help with timely fishing info and was a cheerful host to last minute gatherings. He will be sorely missed

    I don’t know what Savage you bought but if it’s not a black powder muzzleloader it’s not legal to hunt with in muzzleloader WMUs like Niagara county.

    You can research my posts from a year ago if you want. I moved ( or cloned) all my wheelhouse screens to a rear station and at the same time added Garmin PanOptix. So I can interact with charter customers in the back of the boat and still have acesss to autopilot, throttle, downspeed/ depth, graphs etc

    As I have detailed elsewhere, the Blackhorn 209 powder needed to make the long range loads for the Paramount is a pricey item as well as difficult to get shippers to deliver to non NY city NYS zip codes to which it can be delivered legally. However this is only one hurdle to being able to begin long range shooting with the Paramount. To effectively utilize the magnum charge of Blackhorn 209 you need to use the rifle with the variflame adapter style breech plug (not the 209 shotgun primer breech plug) that accept large rifle primers. If you do not hand load or reload you probably don't have any Large Rifle primers. If you don't have any YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET ANY and nobody knows how long this situation will persist. Fortunately I hand/reload so I'm ok but I thought that since I have discovered these things the hard way I'd pass this stuff on. A gun isn't much good if you cant use it for what it was designed for...

    Spare me the simplistic micro economics lesson ( I have a degree in Economics from UMass) and the political conspiracy theories. As far as the powder goes; Cabela's was out of stock when I checked. Only place I could get it was Muzzleloaders.com in Oregon - $79 for the powder , $35 for Hazemat ground from there. Hoping to do better but several companies that do have it say they can't ship it to me even though legally they can. Some of these middlemen are up to some strange BS.
