  2. I have a 285 Fisherman. I had Hydraulic steering installed and a Simrad AP24 . I had the AP 24 talk to the fish finder for bottom tracking and the Garmin GPS for routes and position of course. The unit will practically park the boot in the slip.I love it.

    SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

    Surface temperture was 55 degrees and down 130' it was 66.9 degrees. I had some first timers ( relatives ) on board for the weekend. They tried there best and succeeded in not catching fish, on Friday. We had three great hook ups but........ nothing to show for it. Saturday was redemption day. The boys were 2 for 3. We were feeling pretty good considering the lake conditions. On Sunday morning there Captain let them down. I could not buy a fish or a bite! Trolled from 150' to 300'.... North, South, East and West. Nada !

    On the way in, We saw guys on a boat netting a fish in 60' of water. Go figure !?!

    All in all, we had a great time.

    TRIP OVERVIEW

    A friend and I were trying to salvage a bad weekend. We only had a couple hours on Sunday morning to do so. We were out and were on the water all set up by 7:30 AM. By 9:30, We had 4 salmon and pulled our rods and were on our way back to the marina. They just about hit everything we through at them. The one common denominator was a green fly. It really did not matter who made it. If it was green it got hit. Some of our flies were made in Moscow, Pa, by " Little Bitty ". Thanks Peter !==============

  5. What ever happened to the Three Rods per person suggestion . Politicians more worried about themselfs vs the people that put them there !?! They did not need our approval to raise the license fees ! Now we have to kiss their A** for them to do something for us. Seems like its at little back wards ( No Pun intended ) time to clean house.
