    Over the years I have turned my little corner lot looking out over the strait into what the kids refer to as "Poppa's jungle."

    Boat Positioning for SRC

    Since I am usually in less than 5-6 ft of water I have my skiff set up with a PowerPole so I don't have to deal with lines and setting an anchor. If I want to maintain position it's pretty easy to push a button on the remote.

    A question for the tech weenies

    That's above my pay grade . I don't even know what a plug in could be. I've just always used Safari because it shows up at the bottom of the screen when I log in to my contraption.

    I could not watch that without giving Facebook permission to track my data and activity. I object to that on a moral basis. Is that really what all this has come to? If so count me out. Surprises me that is allowed here.

    What have you done for your boat lately?

    I'll soon be selling the boat I set up for fly fishing the near shore waters in Puget Sound, Hood Canal etc. And I will be without a boat for the first time in over 50 years. It will be a sad day but it is time to admit you can't defeat age. Let me know if you want info.

    Hardy Reel Repair

    Does anyone have a suggestion for someone who can repair an old Hardy Perfect. After only a hundred years the drag spring has failed. Now that the incredible Bill Archuleta is no longer an option to take care of this old gal I'm hoping there is an alternative to retiring it to paperweight status.
