  1. Ever have your cannon downrigger stop working and had to retrive the cable and weight. It happens , I have designed a unit that will retrive a 15 lb derby. It is simple and will not bust your pocketbook. The cannon unit they sell, which I purchased doesn't look like it will do the job for heavier derbys. Let me know if there is any interest from cannon users.

    Thanks Bill

  2. I had 3 rods stolen last fall off my boat at Catsfish Marina, I figured I would get the critter, not so.

    They are Fish Doctor rods; One is a 9 foot (1PC) Dipsey rod brown in color with a Diawa SG47Lc reel;

    2pc. 9 foot Dipsey rod brown with Diawa SG47LC reel; 7 foot 1pc. with Diawa SG27LC reel; Any info. would be appreciated. They are not roller rods.

    Catfish Creek Marina is a great place to fish out of. There are 26 campsites and 51 slips. It is a private marina at the mouth of catfish creek. We keep our campers there year round and the 25 other slips are rented by the year. Most of the campers which all are fishermen, have been there from 30 years down to a few years. There isn't much of a turn over in campsites , the owner puts you on a list if there is not a site open. The slips do have a turn over more than the campsites, but it is by the year. Usually opens for fishing sometime in March to end of September. Hope this helps.

  4. Something to think about.... If windmills are erected on the southest part of L.O.

    There will be under water power lines going from windmill to windmill and to the power plant.

    They will definitely give off magnetism .........................................

    It does effect fish

    Salmon river hatchery, god knows what will happen.

    Google search: magnetism and fish

    NOISE:

    The windmills will give off noise. Forget about staying in campsites and homes along the lake. You know that you can hear a boat coming miles away on the water. Only thing this will be constant, sound carries over water faster and louder than on land. Camp grounds will be empty and fish will be gone.
