  1. I'd reather see it go up and spread out more maybe on the top ten fish< and scrap 11th to 20th! Pay out 41 fish tottle top ten per division and grand prize winner. this could cover the bills at the end of the day!

    I voted to keep it the same however I really this this idea ^^^^ :yes:

  2. Take a look at a SPOT Satellite GPS Locator

    It will send OK transmissions every 10 minutes when turned on, however you have the option to hit S.O.S and the company (SPOT) will notify Coast Gaurd etc that is near your location

    We have one. We use it on our Boat, Snowmobiling and when I have done Atlantic Ocean crossings aboard private sailboats.

    The unit is cheap(around $100) and the years service is cheap as well for the basic service but they also have a Marine Assist that works through BoatUS

    Take a look at a SEA KEY which is very similar to SPOT however this hardmounts on your boat. It is a bit more for the unit and the yearly fee is $$$ but offers a few other features; since it is hardmount in the boat it can be left active and you can see your boat( very helpful if ever stolen).

    We have one of these as well however do not have it activated when we looked into activating it cost around $400/year

    Carry GOOD flares( both handheld and canister/shell type), also some offshore flares that will burn bright, longer and shoot up higher(PARACHUTE type); go beyond Coast Gaurd approved and get SOLAS

    Also you have my cell and I can be reached whenever a life situation arises; we fish just about every day however if need be I am only about 10 minuets from were our boat is docked :yes:

    Try not to fish alone however if you do keep an eye on the weather, it changes VERY quick on Lake O and you can be in the middle of a bad situation before you know it out there

  3. its been a spoon bite with the meat rig just soaking up water. flies aint been workin as hot as they should be for us either.

    We took more on Flies last night than spoons( 4 on SpinDr/Flies 1 on Mag Spoon). It is just a matter of the right combo

  4. Many others get there license for other reasons as well; there is a use for a Captains license outside of chartering

    I have my masters license; 100 G.T, Towing and currently working on offshore and sail.

    I crew on Offshore Atlantic sail Crossings when I find someone looking.

    Just recently did a 850 nm trip from Puerto Rico to Bahamas aboard a 44' sailboat; 10 days offshore, sailing 24 hours

    Currently hoping to get on a trip from Sodus Bay --> Bermuda -->> Canary Islands --> Iceland :yes:
