It is one thing to start your day on the water at a boat ramp on a lake or river to begin a fun day of fishing.  It is another to start your day launching  your boat at the mouth of river or marina knowing that you have yet another precarious bar to cross to get out to a fun day of fishing.  Not to mention crossing the bar one more time at the end of your day.

Charles Loos,  The Ocean Coach,  has built his business on coaching individual Sports Fishermen,  Charter Captains and Fishing Guides on how to navigate the precarious waters and weather conditions of the ocean.  

Charles has close to 50 years experience navigating the waters of the Pacific Ocean from Southern California to his home today in NW Oregon.   Charles is recognized as a expert in all facets of ocean and weather conditions that can affect the weekend boater and professional alike.

His program is customized, one on one, training that helps boaters become more comfortable in navigating marine waters.  Unlike a seminar or lecture, Charles works with all his clients individually on what they personally need most to become a better and more knowledgeable mariner.

There is no doubt that Scott Pence has a passion for the outdoors.  He and his family love to both Hunt and Fish and spend a lot of time in the forests and rivers of Oregon.

Scott is very analytical in everything that he does and when he started fishing for Steelhead in NW Oregon years ago he began keeping meticulous records of water and weather conditions compared to the number of fish that he caught.   A number of years later Scott decided to publish his book which quickly became a popular read for the Steelhead fishing community.

Scotts book is no longer on store shelves but you can still get a copy of it by calling his office in Sunriver Oregon at (800) 541-1756.

Captain Ian Britton of Kings On The Run Charter talks with Ted about the Silver Salmon Derby on Lake Ontario.  This is a Derby on the Canadian side of the lake that will run from June until late August.  There is weekly prise money and a Derby Cash Prize of $100,000,  split between the fisherman and Charter.

The best thing about this tournament is that if you simply book a trip with Kings on the Run Charters during the tournament dates then you are automatically fishing in the tournament while on the boat.   Don't discount this opportunity  as Kings on the Run Charters had a $10,000 winner just 2 years back.

Captain Ian is pulling out all the stops and is running Hot Fish Lures this year.  These are the "hottest" lures on Lake Ontario and are responsible for catching more than their share of Big King Salmon.  You can see the new Hot Fish Tackle at Hotfish.ca.

If you are interested in fishing with Ian during the Silver Salmon Derby you need to act fast as his calendar is starting to fill already.  You can reach Ian by going to his website at www.KingsOnTheRun.com or calling him at 416-220-6410.
