    I'm in the same boat, so to speak. Did you install the Garmin yourself? Who did you purchase the Garmin from?

    Did you use this for the kicker? What autopilot system did you end up using?

    Captain Rick, Many thanks for taking the time to detail the latest conditions and hot bait selection. I am confident there are many other anglers that appreciate your reports as well. Best of luck with the salmon this year!

    I heard strong smelling dryer sheets placed throughout the boat. Has anybody tried this? Smells better than granny's mothballs.

    Nice group! You are the man, but I suggest you use your 5 bullseyes instead of just the center. Will save you $$$ in the long run due to damage from "robinhood" arrows. Good luck this season!

    How does it compare to Mary Kate?

    I believe about .69 miles between 2 consecutive numbers.

    Rich, seriously, with your level of expertise, making money running charters, providing this level of detail on a regular basis...what can I say except, wow!! Your information is so valuable and important to us "weekend warriors" that I just want you to know how much it is appreciated that you take the time to help us out. I am sure there are many others that benefit as well. Does it also help drive sales to your charter business? I certainly hope so! You have earned it. Thanks Much! Tom T.

    If you are located in Rochester or on the west side and need any canvas or fiberglass work done, do not hesitate to contact Susie at Susie's Boat-tique! She did some canvas work for me as was easy to work with, provided great quality, great service, and a great price. She comes highly recommended!

    Brian, sorry to hear of your father's passing in June. A huge thank you and shout out for his long term commitment to both national and local security and saftey. Hopefully his lessons and fond memeories will stay with you (and provide some comfort) for many years to come.

    I hesitate to answer your questions because while I have ~3 years in this salmon "dog fight", there are members here that have 30-50 years. They have taught me a lot. Many thanks to them! Let's face it. Gas is expensive. Gear is expensive. Your time is, well, limited. I highly recommend the Dan Keating series of fishing books. They can help reduce your learning curve significantly. I also recommend the Salmon School at the Niagara fishing show in Feb (I know, a long ways away but very worth it). That said, many times 10 feet between dowrigger depths can work well. As far as downrigger depths versus divers, your divers are usually much futher back than the riggers so they are in a completely different zone than your riggers. Your downrigger lure may be down 50 feet and 25 feet back from the ball. Your #1 dipsey will be out 100-180 feet back depending on the base plate setting (0-3) to get to the same depth. So they are in diferent areas of the water column. Dan Keating talks a lot about thinking in 3D when considering your rigs. The depth and the distance back for all the rods as a spread or program. One other thing to consider is where to put your "aggressive" rigs. I have made the mistake of putting my biggest, wildest rig on the deepest downrigger with my depth probe to help bring fish into the spread. I learned at the Dan Keating fishing class that the fish down deep in colder water and usually less aggressive (yes, subjective) than the fish up higher in warmer water. So many details...hope you got at least some value.

    For what it's worth, I have not tried Star Brite Slime & Grime or Slimy Grimy. If that product works and it's not toxic, so much the better.
