Jed,
   Can you pick up some shiners for me?  I can pay you for them when we launch.  I'll bring my live well.

Jed,
   is there somplace nearby wher we can get the shiners?

Could it be Cow Cod?

I use external harddrives and Windows Live One Solution to manage automatic backups.  I recently lost a computer to a power spike and was able to recover and install all of my backed up files and data to a new machine quickly and easily.  My external drives are attached to my network and back up all of our machines.  I use Cisco's Network Magic to manage the network and all of the attached devices.  It's a great piece of software and not very expensive.

Guys,
   I'm not going to get bait at Mike's this time.  They don't open until 7:00.  Last week when I fished the rock wall, the guys who were getting the butts were all using frozen bait.  I had live shiners but no luck with the fish.  I'm going to try the frozen Herring this time.  I have a live well for my yak and can bring it if it would help those with the live bait.  It works really well and the bait will last all day.  I'll throw it in the car just in case anybody wants me to transport the live ones.

I did the same install on my Hobie Revo directly behind the mast mount.  It's a little difficult to pour water in the opening because the mast mount kind of blocks the access but it has worked well.  I can still throw stuff in the front hatch without being concerned that I'll hit the transponder since the mast mount blocks the mounting block.  I cut up an old Morey Boogie board instead of the pool noodle so that I could get get a big enough piece to hold the transponder.  It holds water all day and the screen provides a nice clean image.  The only down side is the temperature readings are way off.  I think the only way to get correct water temperature reading is to externally mount the transponder.

Island Yak,
What time do you plan on launching?  I'll meet you at the launch.

After a disappointing attempt last Friday, Hobie Dave and I are going to hunt the Butts at ARW again this week.  We will launch at around 7:30.  I'm going to skip the expensive live bait this time and try the frozen bait that seemed to work so well for the guys on the party boats last week and the yakers on Sunday. We will monitor channel 69.  Company welcome!  I won't be bringing the usual "home brew" since the refrigerator has hit empty.  I bottled a new batch today but it won't be ready to drink for two weeks.  I guess the celebratory toast will have to be store bought.  As long as we catch the dinner, it's ok to buy the beer.
