It seems like a few less replies today on this post. This is a article on the topic of tracking dogs in the states. http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/whitetail-365/2013/10/finding-lost-deer-it%E2%80%99s-time-tracking-dogs-go-national Good luck Fly Buster

I cracked my 17.5' seanymph this year and had the cracks welded And 60 rivets replace. Several people suggested that I should not put any flotation back in. After some research I decided to use pool noodles. They do not suck up water and there is 200 pounds of rated flotation per unit. I put 14 units into the spaces that were filled with wet heavy spray foam. If I have to remove my flotation again it will be alot easier. Good luck with your project .

Fished off of Grimsby from 8am to 1:00pm. Set up in 70' and worked out to 140'. Surface temp 68-70 and 48-51 down 60' landed 5 kings #27,#24 #17 and 2 shakers 3 lakers all around#10 and a #4 steel-head. All kings on meat off the riggers down 60' The lakers all came on a wire disey with SD and fly back 180 '. No derby fish but lots of fun watching Grandpa wrestle with the chinooks. .

Finally got out to try for some Chinooks. The forecast was for 1 foot or less waves but turned out to be 3 feet or so which made things more fun . We got 2 small Steel-head a shaker king, took a good rip on the wire and meat with no hookup , we lost a good one because I didn't close the snap on a spoon , A few knock offs and a almost #28 king. We found 52 degrees down 60' over 80 ' and that is where all fish were caught on spoons and riggers. Three hours of pounding was enough so we headed for home.

Yep , try it with remote tank like IRon said. If your motor runs good on the remote tank I would start with replacing the primer bulb.

Congratulations on winning week 1 Tony great fish . That 40#er is going to be a tough one to top for first place .
