Fishing Story

My wife and I had caught a number of Sturgeon in a certain location and had marked the spot on the GPS. We were catching 5 ft. fish on a regular basis and on our last day, we said to ourselves,"lets catch the big one before we go home." We were in Lillooet for our daughter's wedding and had to be back home the next week. I was using a rather light salmon rod and a halibut reel when I hooked into a good sized fish. We took turns fighting it and finally, after an hour and a half, we got it to shore. I had to drag it on to the beach because the water was deep and we were fishing from shore. We took a couple of photos, measured the monster, and slid it back into the river. Turns out it was 8 ft. 9 in. That poor Fraser King rod was really creaking. So, please find attached, a picture of my wife with our fish, I was in a hurry to get the fish back into the river so I didn't have a chance to get in the picture.

I mounted two diamond plate bases with 1" ball on the inner fairing. The left is used for a Garmin GPS Map 396, which moves from bike to truck to boat to airplane depending on the mission of the day. The right is used for a cup holder or Ipod mount depending on need for the ride.

I've bought several items from GPS City and been very pleased with service and delivery. My Garmin 2730 goes from my Goldwing to Trailblazer in seconds. My riders group does the Virginia Grand tours and we see parts of Virginia that no one normally sees.

Thank you!

Thank you! I couldn't have found my way to my friend's wedding without this GPS! This totally saved the day (and wedding, as I was the maid of honour)

Safe Haven

Safe and sound!
This time of year in New Brunswick is hunting season. One of the hunting laws in N.B. is "it is against the law to shoot a deer closer than 300 meters from any house, dwelling, school, etc." These deers know it!

Alaska's Big Fish!

As a boy growing up in Campbell River I read fantastic tales of fishing and hunting in Alaska. Outdoor magazines presented stories of fishing for salmon in rivers where they were so thick they almost hid the water. Linda and I flew to Juneau to catch a cruise ship and I saw rivers full of salmon just like the stories I had read. And I caught some of them.
When getting ready to go I went by Berry's Sporting Goods looking for some kind of rod I could pack in a suitcase. He showed me some break down rod and reel sets but I really wanted a rod I could put one of my spinning reels on since they have good drag, something I would need if I did hook a salmon.
I spotted what looked like a collapsible rod in a rack, picked it up and started laughing. It was exactly what I was looking for, a 5 foot rod that telescoped down to about 14 inches long but it had a "Spiderman" logo on it. It also came with a reel with the same logo.
I left the reel but took the rod home and put one of my Shimano Sedona reels loaded with eight pound test PLine Fluorocarbon line on it. I also packed some small spinners and 1/8 ounce jig heads with some spare curly tail grubs in various colors. I was all set for salmon fishing.
When we landed in Juneau just after lunch and headed to the hotel I spotted salmon in the streams we crossed, just like what I had read about many years ago. But rather then pristine wilderness, these fish were right down town!
After getting settled in we walked down to the water and worked down the riprap to the edge. It was tidal water here but I could see salmon working up the edges headed up stream. On my first cast with a small white crappie jig I hooked what turned out to be a six pound chum salmon and landed it. The Spiderman rod bent double but held up. The fish did not fight real hard. It looked bad and I think it had already spawned and was dying.
Time was short so we headed back to the hotel. The next day I went back to the big river and noticed a small feeder stream a few yards away. It went under a highway just yards from the main river then turned into a cement bottomed culvert. As the tide came in the small stream filled up with fish and they really did almost make the water look solid with them.
Salmon stop feeding when they start their spawning run but they will hit bright colored lures out of instinct. On the first cast I hooked another six pound chum salmon and it really fought, making strong runs and pulling hard. I could feel my line bumping other fish as it ran but the line and the rod held up. This fish was much prettier, having just come into the fresh water to spawn but still had the hooked jaw of a spawning salmon.
I stood on the edge of that small creek and landed two more fish and lost several more. Some were foul hooked in the top fin by the little jig. If one did not hit it I could not reel it far without hooking one as my line went across the backs of all those fish. It was fun but none of the fish really jumped or made the sizzling runs I had read about as a kid.
The next day we went to Skagway and again I found a small stream full of fish. I caught one pretty pink salmon weighing about four pounds before time was up. The rod was still doing good after several fish.
A few days later we went out on a salmon charter. We trolled with downriggers in the bay near Sitka and we landed 10 nice Coho salmon. Since we were using downriggers and big flashers to attract the fish they really did not fight very good.
Our last day we were in Ketchikan and had several hours after getting off the ship before our flight. I went to a stream right in town and caught six pink salmon and lost many more. These fish fought like they were supposed to, jumping and making screaming runs across gravel bars.
I was amazed the rod held up through all this. I had the drag set very light on my reel but many times I had to put pressure on the spool to stop a run before the fish got into streamside brush. The rod often bent double during these fights. I never changed jigs, either. Every fish I hooked came on the same small crappie jig.
Catching salmon in Alaska was a dream come true. It was fun, but I never expected to do it with a Spiderman rod!
