I was missing a couple and regular old pan heads worked fine for me. didn't even twist around in there when I tightened it down.

I could not find any bolts so I took stainless bolts the right length and ground the head flat and then square. Be sure if you do this to make sure the square head will slide but not turn when you install the nuts on them. Saves a whole lot of time trying to find any. You did say you had one left over??? use it for a model.

GLG You out on the big water yet?? My Van tied up for a few days but hope to get the boat's out this week. Will take to the local lake to test run for the summer. Its only 5 miles from the house and has lots of Bass. 65 here today.If the State do not quit messing up our seasons and limit I will get a non resident Canadian license and come follow you around. HA

That sounds like a good idea Puget, I was thinking the same thing myself. As it stands they will shut down salmon on April 4th this year, just when they are going to start running really good.

Yup have been out a few times with nothing to report.
When the fish start running you guys are welcome to come up to fish.
