I don't think I can make it out there. But why not get some simple name tag's on your coat or shirt with LOU and your user name on them so some of you that have never met in person can figure out who's who. Maybe just Lake Ontario United or LOU on them. Just a suggestion. Don't shoot the messenger.

Sorry Yankee: You already had it above.

Up date from the DEC In a message dated 2/14/2008 2:42:35 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Since our stakeholders meeting last December, we have experienced some additional mortality of chinook salmon at the Salmon River Fish Hatchery. We now anticipate about 850,000 fish will be available for stocking in spring 2008 which is about 15% less than our projection. We expect to allocate the fish in approximately the same ratio that we had discussed earlier. The additional mortality occurred between the eyed egg stage and hatch, which is another indication that last fall's warmer temperatures and subsequent stress simply left the fish in relatively poor condition. Ontario also experienced additional mortality in their chinook as well. Fortunately, the fish are now doing very well, and barring any unforseen diseases, we should be in good shape through the spring. We will provide specific details for each stocking when we get closer to the stocking date. Bill

LMAO Ray

I'll 2nd that.

Dang Ray I didnt think I was that hard on ya. (" dont shake his hand unless your ready for reconstructive surgery,hes got a grip") Gotta get down that way and do some fishin this winter with ya.

Osco http://www.oscomotors.com/catalog/catalog4.asp Depending on where your linkage mts. It's either this page 4 or Pg. 5 that you would need from them. Barr link: http://www.barrmarine.net/

Glad he could help you out Mark. He was sending back pics of some of the bigger ones. That adventure's over, now he's got an offer on a boat in Alaska for kings & soul. Must be nice to be young and independent. But he's doing what he wants while he can.

That should be the old 2 piece manifold. Alum. & cast. Barr & Osco both make a direct replacement 1 for it. Barr # bmc1-63122

Shawn All the symptoms point to a bad lower shift cable and or adjustment of it.

Mark: Expect a call. I just talked to him. He'll give ya the inside skinny native scoop so to speak.

Mark: A good friend of mine just moved back from there. Spent 2 years as a mate. I'll try to get up with him and have him contact ya.

Dick. They do make an antenna just for the Scotty. Just ask for it when you purchase it or call them and they will take care of it for you.

Rod: If your talking on the transom plate with two longer bolts. Yes re place them as well as the springs in between. They are inexpensive and just good insurance is all, for the few $'s they are, you don't want to have to pull it again to replace them or have to replace a coupler because of it. On the same note MAKE sure that the engines are aligned before the drives are put back on.

Borax: Of all I've installed we have never tried it with uncoated cable. Curt ( at Depth Raider ) say's that it will but haven't tried it. But why limit yourself to 35 to 50 ft.. There are times when I'm shur you'll want to ck. deeper and feel confident that it will work ok. If you want the scoop from the man. Give Curt a call directly at Depth Raider. Good support and good people.

Dang Wolf with that title for the thread I was thinkin I was on the wrong board or getin lucky.

Don't know if this was posted before, but this mornings Post Standard had a run down of the seminars this weekend. http://blog.syracuse.com/outdoors/2008/ ... ed_by.html

"watched salmon swoop down and pick kings out of the water like they were minnows" ???? Might of missed something here but the last I knew salmon didn't fly.

I forgot the battery consumption part. Full season day in and out on 1 battery. What ya doin Bill readin my mind while I was typin. Sides that I got you on the right track. lol

Steve: After running a Hawk for over 15 years daily with down time in between for constant repairs. Here are several advantages. Constant LCD read out. Both temp. & speed. No more having to average it out when the speed on the hawk is bouncing around. Ease of installation, no transd. to mount one cable from the rigger to the head and two power wires for the head. The whole system can be rigged in less than an hr. including the coated cable and you don't have to pull the boat or drill more holes in the transom. As far as the coated cable goes unless your stacking on it (I don't) I see & have no problems altho I kn some guys that do stack without any trouble. Last but not least. Price, support if you should have a problem is excellent, sealed electronics in the probe. If by chance the o-ring should leak. The only place it can get to is the battery compartment. Not the main board. Dam Missed my callin. Should of been a salesman. :shock:

Brian: How many are you interested in. I've got 5 or 6 at the shop with a manual or two to go with em. pm me

1 Answer: Depth Raider. Great people, good support, and a quality product.

K you guys. Don't knock em till you try em. Wear them all summer. But May? maybe NOT. I get my share of razin but they are comfortable and the price is right unless there pink one's Rich.

Dang Bud: Nice fish but I didn't think an arm could of stretch out that far for the camera. Good luck at the new job.

Not a problem Rod. Hope it works out ok for ya. Did you find out where it originally came from?
