RE: Fishing in Canada & Alaska
Friend and I got dropped off in Simpsons Bay out of Cordova for pink salmon so
I got out my ultra lite stuff. Had my 5 ft rod with 2 lb test Stren line and thought I had snagged a halibut with my little rooster tail and fought it for more
than 45 minutes; even followed/towed it around for a while. We ended up "shovelling" it into the boat. Happened to see some folks using a guide and asked
him what it was as I don't know one from another. Turns out it was a king salmon
and the guide asks if I was using the Stren line he spots on my rod as it was yellow. I tell him its 2 lb test. He informs me that Stren has a contest going
whereby anyone using their line and catches a new world record line record gets
$10,000 but it needs official verification. He would call in a plane for $75 to
pick it up and another $75 to have it checked out. I had weighed it on my "De-liar" which only went to 50 lbs. It was well over that and the guide didn't know what the 2 lb line record was for Kings. To make long story short; cheap
Dutchman that I am I didn't want to spend the $150 so I cut it up and ate some of it and froze and sent it home. Turns out the world record at that time was 49 lbs. I keep telling myself that the "De-liar" must have been wrong!!!

RE: Mackinaw City, MI West via Rte 2
I drive 2 every year from Watersmeet MI to Minot. Plenty of places
in almost every small town along the way. Free hookups at Bad River
Indian casino. Very little traffic which I prefer as I travel solo for
the solitude plus no-one tells me what I just missed.javascript:;

RE: Flags on campers
For everything I had to do to keep the rights and defend the freedoms we enjoy
in this country and some fool asks to have it explained to him means this thread
needs to be closed.
Are you mods also "fools"?

RE: Sorry Canada
Going to Dore Lake SK for July instead of Alaska. I know it won't get any cheaper
in the future; but maybe BC,YT and AK next year. "litew8t" I'll wave on my way
past you.

Goin' to Alaska
Ok folks need some suggestions. I'll be travelling by myself with my
16'boat/70HP and strictly fishing. Would like to go thru BC and prefer
the remote places. I've done a lot of fishing but never done grayling,
sheefish,kokone?,dolly varden etc.Just picked up the"Milepost" which has
so much to read. Got the month of July to do this. Will probably try to get to Homer to do some halibut. Thanks all.

RE: Will a sway bar help?
Much thanks to all the suggestions. Just ordered a Hellwig rear sway
bar and will give it a go. Had to get the oddball kit as my truck has
11.5 rear. Its already got a front one so I saved there. Thanx again.

Will a sway bar help?
Just picked up a used T/C a Fleetwood Elkhorn with my 2004 Dodge
LB Laramie with crew cab diesel and drove quite a few paved country
roads and it seemed that it swayed quite a bit. Anyone install a rear
or front sway bar and does it help much? I had a pop-up which weighed
only about 1000 lbs so maybe I'm not used to the heavier weight. Thanks

RE: Plastic Trim
Its a Fleetwood Elkhorn. Not made anymore. What I'm looking for is the 1 1/8 inch wide white trim that fits on the edges. Mine is all chipped and cracked.

RE: With discussions on mileage I decided to do the right thing!
Very nice; I just finished restoring a '75 Hang 10 which took almost
3 years to finish.

RE: Camping and Fishing in the Florida Keys
I have been going to the Keys for almost 10 years now and just bought my 1st T/C
but haven't found any place to stay yet. Everythings reserved for Jan-Mar. Looks
like you had fun. How does one get in other than looking thru obit's?
