Sean, Don't take that kind of info second- hand. You must talk to a customer service supervisor, regardless of what it says in your paperwork. That "commercial" exclusion is there in most outboard warranties-- specifically to exclude actual COMMERCIAL fishermen. Your charter business can be interpreted as commercial if they wish, but I have never heard of it for casual passenger carrying vessels. You need to tell them you need to be treated as to the industry standard. A modern "Blown" outboard at 100 hrs is completely unacceptable, and the motor was never used in the extreme conditions of the commercial food industry. DO NOT give up on this.

Had some customers inquire. Are there daily tickets? Can Charterboats buy boat passes?

Don't let this crime happen in a lake you care about.

All heavy enough for Salmon. IA Bowhunter, you are second in line for those if it falls through I will let you know. All rods spoken for(pending payment) except mooching rods. These rods may work for mono or braid divers, or big cores.

(2) 7' one piece ugly stiks, $7 each or both for $10. (2) 10' Okuma classic pro mooching rods--work for divers or core, Like new $20 each or $30 for pair, (2) 10' Eagle Claw diver rods, one with twilli tip $10 each, (1) Eagle Claw 8 1/2' roller guide rod $10.

Raymarine makes what you are looking for. The "Brains"(DSM) mount in a safe place, and you can connect 2 different Screens in different locations. Kevin at the Wilson Boatyard is an authorized dealer and installer. 716--863--1001.

It will be good to see her in the water. Good work guys!

Please visit and share with everyone www.greatlakeswindtruth.org This isn't going away. We all want to just concentrate on the fishing this time of year, but the vast majority of the public still get a "warm and fuzzy" feeling over these things. NYPA has recently stated that just because a county has voted against this proposal, doesn't mean it won't still go there. Please spread the education and FACTS.

I had the pleasure to know both of them. Great people, and a great fishing duo. R.I.P.

Keep this going anglers. Share with all reasonable people you know. Visit and join Great Lakes Wind Truth on facebook. Educate as many people as you can. We can't afford these things, we don't want to look at them in our beautiful Lakes, and we certainly don't want to pay 4x more for electric. It's all about perception, and the majority of the public still thinks these monstrosities are "green". Recently. a NYPA representative stated that opposition to Wind farms(Wind Factories!) in the lakes was from a very small, very vocal group. Lets get the word out before it's too late. It's a subsidized cash grab. They will move on to their next tragic project and we will be stuck dealing with it, looking at it, and paying for it.

Nice fat Coho for this early. Great sign.

What it's all about. The pic says it all!

Also, there is a full automatic Halon system installed in the engine compartment.

Great tread left!

Yes input is the key. I don't remember being asked before the Challenge cup scoring system was changed. I guess only Cups won under the "new" system are worthy. As for "Home runs", "Touchdowns", "Goals", and "Double Box catches", thats what wins championships in all sports. The wild card team can end up the Champion based on how they FINISH. The old Cup system was SO much better it's hard to understand how in the world it got changed. Think of each of the 4 Pro-Ams as a quarter, and together they represent a full game. Have a huge 4th quarter and win. Have a huge enough 1st quarter, and it's tough to get beat. Everyone competing is dealing with the same locations, weather, and fish availability. The new system took away some of the strategy by in some cases making teams fish for numbers if they want to compete for the Cup. The original name, first in Ludington and then in Olcott/Wilson, was "SALMON Team Tournament." Under the current system, often you would be forced to fish for a limit rather than what you felt would give you your best chance to win outright, or make up ground. Now with the different formats of the first 3 Tournaments, the players may wish for a different way to score it. Lets get more input, and on with it. Whatever the majority of the players want, I'm in.

Congrats! By the look of that smile it won't be his last!

Definitely interesting concept. How will it be scored, by where you place, or by your actual score against the entered field? That name may already be taken by Pro-Am western leg deal. Lets hear some more input and opinions.

Anyways, make a note of the number 'cuz ya never know. Thank you.

They have held up very well for several of us in the Olcott/Wilson area. The Blue Diamond comes in many actions including a 7'6" ML action that is ideal for Spring Board fishing. I also love the Convector 8'6" rigger rod in the 8-20lb test weight, for Spring and Summer Spoon fishing.

That was our most successful system for the Pro-Ams for years. Both team members got to fish one day each. They both were actual team members and had a stake in it. It's great for a couple of team members who want to be involved at a smaller monetary level. The 2 would split a share of however you would normally do it.

At a recent meeting of Niagara river guides, a Border Patrol agent was a guest speaker. He indicated that there are 40+ known terror cells in Canada. Knowing that the Lake Ontario/Lake Erie angling community keeps early/late hours and is often far from shore, he asked for our help. The agent asked that we report ANY suspicious looking characters or activities by calling the tipline @ 1--800--331--0353. This number covers from Erie PA to the St. Lawrence, and is good for U.S. citizens AND Canadians. Thank You.

The guys at West systems are industry leaders in this type of stuff. They will either answer your email or phone call and help you. If they don't make that exact product, they probably make a similar one. Look them up online.

Well Bruce, still won't be the same without hearing you and Joey arguing and then seeing you roll your eyes. Don't know how you pull off that "multiple chiefs onboard" thing anyways. As for missing Mark more, of course you will, you both have the same sarcastic sense of humor! I'm sure I will see you at Sodus, you'll find a 10 or 11 meter to jump aboard, and it's comfortably close to Monroe county waters! Take care and keep it rolling, we are gonna have it good this spring with the run-off.
