funny
A large Humpback whale is lazily enjoying a beautiful day when he sees
a female Humpback whale just a little ways off, and he thinks to
himself that he's going to try to impress her...He swims over to her, and breeches the surface, showing off the large
hump on his back. She looked unimpressed as she breached and showed a larger more well
formed hump herself. Now, a little embarrassed, he tries again to impress her by taking a
breath and blowing a huge cloud of mist and water with a really nice
rainbow in it. Once again she looked unimpressed and she blew a larger cloud of mist,
with a more beautiful rainbow. Now clearly agitated, the Male sees a Navel vessel in the distance and
races off toward it. Just before he collides with the ship, he dives,
jumps out of the water and as he sails over the bow of the ship, he
plucks a sailor off the deck and in one gulp swallows him whole! He swam back to her very proud of himself, only to find the female
object of his atte [More...] |

So Who's Planning a Trip to Where?
I see lots of people on the docks of my marina getting ready to go
somewhere this time of year. The last month I have noticed a lot of
blue tape coming off boats and MOB poles, radar reflectors, and jerry-
jug boards going back on. So, where's everyone going? |

=?windows-1252?Q?Underwater_Cameras_=96_Taking_You_To_New_Depths?=
Do you know that Nikon and Rolleimarin are the pioneers who designed
the ideal underwater cameras and their high quality housing which was
tested on site by explorer and photographer Hans Hass. They laid the
foundation for an ideal underwater camera.Are you ready for underwater photography? Decide the type of
photographs you will be shooting. This is an essential point prior to
selecting a suitable underwater camera. Different categories need
different camera configuration, lens and flash. The underwater camera
should be cost effective, reliable, and easy to use and need very low
maintenance. Select a camera which is tough enough to withstand the
inevitable knocks underwater. The depth of the site to be photographed
also plays a role in the result you get. If you are an enthusiastic diver interested in underwater photography
then opt for a camera which can give a good result up to a depth of
164 feet and not need a large number of batteries and also should use
regular [More...] |

Drive Traffic And Backlinks To Your Web Site Without Lifting A Finger
By now everyone has heard how online press releases can generate quick
targeted traffic and bring all the major search engines running to
index you like there=92s no tomorrow. The question is, have you done
yours yet?Press releases have traditionally been something you paid thousands of
dollars to have professionally written. You needed to hire some fancy
PR firm to write your release (usually by committee). Then they would
submit it for PR News Wire (sometimes costing nearly a thousand
dollars).Then they=92d fax the release, and make a bunch of calls. If
you were lucky, they would actually find a reporter who was interested
enough to pick up your story -- and =96 you=92d get some exposure. Those days are history for those in the know. Today, you can use
online PR services to put your release in front of more eyes than you
can imagine. Faster. And certainly cheaper. In fact, many news reporters themselves are turning increasingly to
news sources like Yahoo and Google [More...] |

Can't help it...just have to brag a little again. :)
John told me that Jordan is more than carrying his own weight now..and

Article by Kellen Ellis:
The Skeeter Boats and Aim Marine pro-staffers, John and Jordan Kerr won
the Anglers of the Year title for the season, capping off a dominate
season in NBW. They needed only a 19th place or better finish to secure
the title. John's season has been as equally impressive as what Mike has done
lately. With one Angler of the Year title secured already, John is
leading in two more series. He is leading the race in the American Bass
Association with only one tournament remaining, and Jordan and him are
leading the Aim Marine Sunday Series standings with two tournaments
remaining. If John is able to hold on in those two series, it will be
the second season in a row that he has captured 3 of the 4 total major
team tournament titles in San Diego. Last year he won the WON Bass, Aim Marine Sunday Series, and American

It's Great!
As I review the last few days of posts here, it is really terrific to see
the friendly exchange of information and news in this group without the
surly and vulgar insults that you-know-who routinely posts. Let's hope the
old Irish blessing, something about "wind in your sails..." keeps him out to
sea for a long time. |

armin Micro G-Charts - Is there another way?
Having been through most of the Internet this afternoon (even Italy /
France Spain/ Finland and Canada... apart form eBay, I can't find a
source of charts for a Garmin 180. Obviously, since Garmin gave up on
supporting any of their marine products 5 years ago there seems to be a
massive demand for Micro G-Charts (and less so G-Charts.) I assume that
they run on earlier PC architecture.
Does anyone know where to get these charts from? If not,
Has anybody tried to / knows how to :-
- "Read" one of these charts with a laptop?
- A device that you can use to plug the chart into to read it - like a
cellphone / camera?
- The similar type of memory card to fit the ports
- If you can copy a G-Chart onto a Micro Chart Card?
I'm not trying to advocate anything I shouldn't but this frustrates the
hell out of me!

Whatever Happened To "Cathedral" Hulls?
When I was a kid in the late Sixties and my family
was just getting into boating, "cathedral" hulls
were all the rage. In case anybody doesn't know
what I'm talking about, that's the term for that
pseudo-trimaran hull design like the boat the
father character drove in the TV show "Flipper."That particular boat was a 22-foot Thunderbird
Iroquis. Thunderbird, the precursor to Formula,
was one of the biggest users of the design. Both
Johnson and Evinrude sold cathedral-hull boats
under their own names in those days. I go to my share of boat shows, and I haven't seen
a boat with that hull design in decades. It obviously
had some advantage over a conventional hull, but what
was it? And why did the design fall out of favor with
manufacturers?

Boating restrictions due to mussels?
Our local water district is finally getting around to addressing
mussels even though they were discovered months ago in a nearby
reservoir (San Justo in No Cal, which was closed almost immediately).
One of the options under consideration is to completely shut down all
boating. I have purchased season passes for my boat for years in this
county and I'm not about to let them shut everything down. We already
went through this with MTBE.Just curious as to what others are seeing. Inspections I can live
with. I keep my boat clean and dry. I might even being willing to pay
a small one time fee for the privilege. Are you guys seeing anything
you would consider both reasonable and worthwhile? There a meeting
Tuesday and it's open to the public. I plan on attending and can use
all the help I can get. Thanks. -mike [More...] |

How long before it happens here?
The animal rights nuts have won in Switzerland - to protect fish there
you must kill every one you catch."And anglers in the country will have to demonstrate their expertise
by taking a course on humane methods of catching fish, under new
legislation outlined by the Bundesrat - the Swiss Federal Parliament. The new legislation states that fish caught should be killed
immediately following their capture, with a sharp blow to the head
from a blunt instrument. Under the new regulations, the use of
livebait and barbed hooks is also prohibited except in certain
situations." http://www.fishandfly.com/articles/20080507 Ronnie

Are all Georgia fishermen like this? Steve H.,you will find this interesting!
Hello all,This news story was in my local newspaper the other day(Baton Rouge,
Louisiana). When I read the short story on the front page, and saw the
number of fish, I thought this must be a typo. After I read the full
story inside the newspaper, and found out the number of fish was no typo,
I could hardly believe it was true, since I have chartered with this
Captain before. Apart from the Captain, what I really find troubling is the attitude of
these 18 fishing individuals from Georgia, I truly hope they are an
exception to the rule.
Here is the link to the newspaper story. http://www.2theadvocate.com/sports/outdoors/18475969.html
If any one from Georgia, or anywhere else, is reading this and wants to
know the names of the 18 Georgia scofflaws, here is a link to the
Louisiana Dept. of Wildlife & Fisheries with the names of individuals. http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/news/?id=957

Antero Reservoir Closed To Boaters (Denver Water Concerned About Spread Of Zebra Mussels)
Antero Reservoir Closed To Boaters
Denver Water Concerned About Spread Of Zebra Mussels
Deb Stanley, 7NEWS Producer
Denver Water has temporarily closed Antero Reservoir because of the
concern over zebra mussels.Zebra Mussels are an agGressive, non-native pest. They were detected
at Pueblo Reservoir. According to Denver Water, zebra mussels can clog pipes, valves, gates
and any water-related equipment or surface. They can ruin boats by
jamming equipment and causing motor damage, and they destroy fisheries
by consuming nutrients and wrecking the food chain. Denver Water has closed Antero Reservoir to boating until proper
inspection and decontamination procedures are implemented. Denver
Water is working with Colorado State Parks, the Colorado Division of
Wildlife and other entities to create an inspection and
decontamination system. Officials are concerned zebra mussels will attach themselves to boat
hulls, trailers and aquatic plants and be transported to other

Consistancy in labeling...
St Croix rods IMO seem to do a better job of labeling rods than anybody
else.Believe it or not Bass Pros label is probably second, except they only list
power, and not speed on most of their rods. I've been pretty disappointed in the accuracy of some of the other high
price rods out there, particularly in their light and medium light rods.
Even a light action rod that is labeled extra fast should not bend 1/2 way
down to the butt before it starts to load up. That's a moderate speed rod,
not a fast speed. Sure the body will bend easier, but their should be a
distinct difference between tip loading and shaft loading, and if its
labeled fast or extra fast it should be noticeable in the first section of
the rod. Geez guys. Get it right. Don't just throw a lable on a blank to make the sale. With me it will only
happen once I assure you. [More...] |

Terminator Spinnerbaits
I fish a small 7 arce pond 98% of the time, I've always like Terminator
Spinnerbaits in the 1/8 oz. Tiny T model, I like it that a 3-4 pound fish
does not destroy it or that I need to retune it.The last 2 I've bought both had the whole swivel & blade come off, I don't
think I'm ruff on them, I place them in a binder when not in use. Anybody
else been having problems with these Tint T's? I use 6 pound line and only replace them when I hang one up in a tree or
give them to a kid who's been watching me catch them when he's not. Mike [More...] |

This is in response to the striper bedding thread - would not post as a reply for some reason
As Rich said, stripers don't build beds. They swim upstream, the
female squirts out the eggs in current and the male fertilizes them as
they float along. That is why stripers can't spawn in most reservoirs
- they need many miles of flowing water for their eggs to hatch before
they settle to the bottom and die from being covered by silt. I have
heard it takes about 100 miles of flowing water for the eggs to hatch.Ronnie
