  1. https://www.defender.com/product.jsp?name=whitecap-zebra-plastic-ventilator&path=-1|6880|2290139|2290142&id=1154069 These might work - depends on size of cutout.
  2. You might want to call - dock space is at a premium this year and have heard that there aren't many slips left...
  3. O-rings on the cap are standard size - not worried about premature failure of a 25 cent o-ring. Every probe eventually get's lost to the bottom - and on the average that's likely to happen long before my o-ring fails
  4. The electronics are all sealed in epoxy so even if the cap cracks and leaks the most it does is ruin a pair of AA batteries....Lube the o-ring and threads with Vaseline and you are set. Never had a cap crack and I remove it a couple times per year to replace batteries....
  5. The high wall in Oswego is a great example from an education perspective - 5 years ago it was lined up with guys fishing wicked long leaders and "walking the wall" in an attempt to line kings - fast forward to the past 3 years - the liners have been pushed out by a pack of guys all fishing skein under floats. Many of the local liners converted as well because once they bite - they are much easier to control and land...great action and a lot of biters because they aren't constantly having a pound of lead land on their heads...
  6. Aside from discarding a carcass streamside which is illegal - how is it any worse than the guys who fillet em up (lake or tribs), puts them in the freezer and then throws it out a year later after it becomes freezer burned?
  7. You could mount a rail horizontally across the face of the hardtop and then space out rail mount rod holders along it. I'm sure Defender.com or another such company carries either tubing and rail end mounts or complete sections ready to mount....
  8. You never know - it's being reported through a media outlet...I've actually been quoted in some publications and the quoted verbiage was absolutely not what was said - so I place little value on how things are said...but maybe the bill was killed once and for all which I think is the end result most were hoping for regardless of "what" was actually said...

  10. Again - no disrespect and understand your position - see a lot of people making day trips on reports of a good bite - all I was trying to point out. Would be nice to see more attendance and show support - especially following the epic year we had. Certainly some things being done right by the agencies that manage the lake.
  11. Funny - because if the salmon bite is on no one thinks twice about blowing off of work or making a long drive from out of state to fish for a day....not singling you out Fat Trout - just making the statement that so many will get up at 3am to drive up to lake O to fish for a day or whatever - but far fewer show the same enthusiasm for getting involved and making their voices heard.
  12. Will be on travel I think :/ - will make it to one of the other ones if that's the case.
  13. How would you rate these reels? Do they make your forearms cramp? Does the copper have any weak spots or kinks? Are you sure they are 500 foot coppers - if I measure them and they are like 490 feet will you pro-rate the cost? If the other guy backs out will you consider best offer? Original grease? If I remove the labels do you think there will be any sticker residue?
  14. This is what you want - Seadeck won't hold up.... https://www.plasteak.com/
  15. Dissolve non-iodized salt in well water or spring water until it is a saturated solution - rinse remaining powder cure from eggs and put eggs in jar and pour salt solution over them until covered. Put in fridge - leave for a couple days - should be good to go - although depending on state of eggs sometimes this won't work...
  16. Season re-cap of some family brown trout fishing out of Oswego NY. Enjoy!!!
  17. Not totally interchangeable - all of the accessories will fit one another but the tracks themselves are not the same - I made this assumption rigging the current boat and in the end had a machinist friend mill out the opening of Traxtech track for me to accommodate something. In general - they are all interchangeable but there are a few differences.
  18. You can always roll the dice and most of the time get away with it. Would you drive around without insurance though? If you get in an accident while overwidth and kill someone - good chance your insurance won't cover you. That might be a bigger concern than a $200 ticket if you value your standard of living...
  19. I will take them if available. PM sent
  20. Hi - we are looking for an observer to join us for the A-Tom-MIk invitational out of Oswego Saturday August 10th (blow off day August 11th). You must also be available for the captains meeting Friday evening (8/9). This is a paid position. We also invite you to pre-fish with us on Friday morning 8/9 and will take you out to lunch Friday between fishing and the captains meeting. Effectively you will get to fish with two tournament teams over two days - some great teams to learn from as well. PM me if interested.
  21. Tentatively sold pending pickup this weekend - if deal falls through will go back to people who PM’d me in the order I received them.
