I agree. If you get Dennis your "golden". This spring he tought buffalo only. In my opinion the buffalo guys were ahead of us Rochester and Syracuse classes. I never seen some of the questions on the test and the Buffalo guys said they had. That made for some interesting guessing. I was a little worried to say the least. I think Seatech is trying to have too many classes in different cities at once.

As for the Coast Guard. Overall they were awfull. I couldn't believe some of the problems that we were having. I could write a book. I think I'll stop now, I'm getting flashbacks!

I took the class in the spring and the same thing happend to a couple of guys in that class. Lost checks or paperwork. Organization is not the strong point. The coast guard was equally frustrating. Called Buffalo for 3 weeks to try to get a fingerprint appt. I got ahold of an officer in Massena and he called me back and told me they would call me in 1/2 an hour. They did. All of a sudden everyone had appt's to get them done. I think someone got chewed out. I passed the test on april 1st and just received my license in mid july. Headache after headache. My advice would be to make sure you really want to do this because you will get very frustrated at times. Check your sanity at the door when you sign up.

Rick,

I talked to Matt yesterday and the idea of a grand slam is great. You couldn't ask for a better port to pull that off. My input was to weigh in the best of each of the 4 species w/ your biggest "kicker" fish. IF you do this, you would receive an extra 50 pts. I don't think we need another pro-am format. 4 is enough. To be attractive, this needs to be a different style format to set it apart from the rest.

Talk to ya later.

Steve,

Nice fish! How far out did you get that fish?

I'll tell him!

Like Paul said, GPS is real close to your down speed. If I didn't like to know the temps, I wouldn't have a probe myself.

Great fish Rick. Is that your lady getting all slimed up?

Good job Brian and Jim! We had a cooler full of salmon on friday fishing in front of the park and went back there for saturday and the kings were gone. :shock: Just alot of 5-10lb fish. The kings were definately east of the creek. I've noticed this year to never fish where you whacked them the previous day.

Jim, you sounded pretty frustrated during mid-morning. Nice to see ya turned it around.

Are you ever up near rochester? I have a buddy interested in about (3) 12 pounders.

Thanks Paul. We'll be signing up this friday afternoon. Come on, Sign up Sandy teams!

Good luck

Anytime on the invite. Goin in the a.m.? Again, if ya wanna ride, we're leaving at around 530am. If you go, give me a call.

Good luck

That must be better than talking about bodily functions right? :shock:

Keith, if you need a ride for one or both days this weekend, your more than welcome. Let me know or just show up at the boat by 5:30am.

Sweet! Give me a shout Sat. or vise-versa.

Gill-T, on the left side of your screen, it's a link under tournaments. Orleans county rotary derby

5:30 will be lift off. No work for you sat.?

Sat. a.m. baby!

Jerry, make sure you clean up my dad's "deposit" can collection before your family gets on the boat!

I think ff line is a "Godsend". I used to use 30# mono before this year and started seeing fleas show up on that! I switched this year. A buddy of mine has used it for 3 years and loves it. If you get it, get the 20# line NOT the 30# line. Big diff. 30# is awfull.

Thanks Paul!

"Man Rule" #6- Always have that secret spot to hide extra cash.

My answer to your question would be a hammer fly. Isn't fishing lures just like pringles? How could you take just one?

Thanks Paul.

I would try including Sandy Creek also. I would bet a bunch of us would participate. I can think of at least 5 boats off the top of my head for sure.

Just my 2 cents. Thanks

Went 9-11 in 60'-80fow around watoma shoals this morning. Mixed bag of fish w/ an 18# king being the biggest. 45'-55' down on the riggers w/ purple thunder 28's being the best. No hits on the divers today for some reason.

Funny rob, I don't see any nbk stingrays for sale?
