Bearing
Buddy–
The
Bearing
Buddy
replaces
the
dust
cap
in
the
axle
hub,
which
is
filled
with
grease
through
the
Bearing
Buddy.
When
the
wheels
are
submerged,
pressure
from
the
spring
loaded
piston
keeps
the
water
out!
This
in
turn
prevents
wheel
bearing
failure,
keeps
water
and
dirt
out
of
hubs
and
bearings,
eliminates
the
need
for
bearing
repacking
and
prevents
hub
seal
damage.
Best
of
all,
it
is
extremely
easy
to
install.
Bearing
Buddies
are
available
now
at
Y
Marina
for
$24.95
-
$25.95
per
package
depending
on
the
size
you

John
Griffith's
March
Fishing
Tips |
|
Lingcod
are
active
predators
that
take
pretty
much
anything
that
moves
and
isn't
likely
to
whirl
around
and
kill
them
instead.
They
lie
flat
on
rocks
on
the
bottom
or
ledges,
looking
up
for
victims.
They'll
sometimes
come
up
a
surprisingly
long
way
for
food.
The
point
in
writing
about
them
now
is
that
they
move
into
shallow
water
in
spring,
getting
fully
underway
in
March,
to
pair
up
and
spawn.
Now
is
the
shore-based
fishermen's
best
shot
at
lingcod
at
the
few
places
that
fish
well.
Boaters
have
a
much
wider
field.
If
you
don't
have
your
own
list
of
lingcod
hotspots,
I
suggest
the
following:
Go
with
someone
who
has:
do
the
usual
due
diligence
(ask
around
at
marinas
and
tackle
stores),
and
carry
binoculars
to
get
closer
looks
when
you
spy
a
rod
bent
fully
over
on
itself;
or
just
go
and
try
it.
Cape
Arago,
just
outside
Charleston,
is
a
great
place
to
start
and
it's
close
to
shelter
from
weather
changes.
Electronics
make
it
easier.
The
bottom
needn't
be
super
craggy,
but
should
be
rock
and
have
some
relief
to
it.
A
good
lingcod
rod
will
have
a
stout
butt
section
and
fairly
sensitive
tip.
The
bite
is
often
more
of
a
"pop,"
or
light
pick-up.
With
live
bait
(whole
herring,
whole
greenling)
it's
not
a
bad
idea
to
let
the
fish
work
with
it
a
little
so
it's
more
apt
to
get
the
hook.
Lingcod
will
sometimes
hang
onto
a
bait
even
if
they're
not
actually
hooked,
and
can
be
coaxed
to
the
gaff
if
the
fish
and
fisherman
don't
get
too
rambunctious.

Crabbing-
Crabbing
continues
to
go
well
for
South
Coast
fisherman.
We
have
noticed
increased
traffic
in
our
Charleston
area
waters,
which
has
led
to
slightly
smaller
crabbing
grounds,
though
all
seem
to
catch
enough
to
make
the
trip
worthwhile.
Bottom
Fishing-
Bottom
fishing
is
expected
to
get
very
good
over
the
next
couple
of
months.
If
you
get
a
day
when
the
ocean
is
calm
enough
to
fish,
there
is
plenty
of
excellent
fishing
available.
We
look
forward
to
hearing
your
stories
of
success
in
our
April

| March
Y
Family
Entry |
This
month’s
Y
Family
Entry
comes
from
Bill
and
Elke
Sponseller.
They
have
shared
a
wonderful
story
with
us
about
their
experience
rescuing
a
rather
interesting
sea
bird.
We
hope
that
you
enjoy
this
story
as
much
as
we
did!
Just
before
we
bought
our
2601
Striper
at
the
“Y”,
my
wife
Elke
and
I
were
looking
at
a
number
of
fishing
boats
for
sale
in
the
harbors
around
Coos
Bay.
One
day
we
found
ourselves
sitting
on
deck
of
a
boat
in
the
Charleston
Boat
Basin.
We
were
talking
to
the
skipper
when
suddenly
we
heard
some
splashing
in
the
water
behind
the
boat.
Now,
before
I
go
much
further
I
need
to
preface
with
a
little
history.
We
both
lived
in
the
High
Sierras
near
Yosemite
before
moving
to
Charleston.
Elke
at
one
time
worked
for
the
Forestry
Department
and
since
she
was
a
little
girl,
had
always
been
fascinated
with
“critters”
no
matter
how
big
or
small.
There
was
a
tendency
at
times
to
show
a
little
too
much
affection
in
my
opinion.
You
can
probably
guess
where
this
story
is
headed.
It
wasn’t
unusual
for
her
to
hand
feed
large
doe
and
bucks,
coons,
squirrels,
and
bring
the
injured
ones
home
to
care
for
until
they
could
be
released
back
into
the
wild.
So,
the
splashing
in
the
water
continues,
and
as
we
walk
over
to
look,
I’m
assuming
it’s
a
harbor
seal.
“Nope,
just
a
seagull
honey.”
No
big
deal
as
there
is
literally
hundreds
in
the
Boat
Basin.
Looking
closer
Elke
realizes
something
isn’t
right.
“It
looks
like
its
drowning”
she
says.
I
replied,
“No,
it
was
probably
diving
for
something
and
just
looks
that
way”.
At
this
point
it
starts
to
swim
away,
and
as
I
watched
it
go
toward
the
bank
of
the
marina,
I
had
to
admit
it
wasn’t
swimming
in
true
seagull
fashion.
In
fact,
it
looked
more
like
a
half
hearted
breast
stroke,
going
further
and
further
into
the
water
with
each
stroke.
It
was
pretty
obvious
by
now
that
something
was
wrong.
And
then,
what
I
knew
was
going
to
happen,
and
most
afraid
would
happen,
Elke
announces,
“we
have
to
save
it!!
It
wants
someone
to
help
it!”
Now,
I’m
starting
to
think
fast.
“Honey,
I
think
it’s
beyond
saving,
I
think
sometimes
we
need
to
let
nature
take
its
course.
It’s
probably
sick,
and
we
don’t
know
anything
about
seagulls”.
She
replied,
“No,
we
have
to
save
it!”
Knowing
my
wife,
I
realized
arguing
wasn’t
an
option.
She
went
to
the
edge
of
the
water
at
the
bottom
of
the
bank,
and
as
I
watched,
this
bird
actually
flopped
over
to
her.
She
reached
down,
plucked
it
from
the
water
and
wrapped
it
in
her
jacket.
After
a
closer
examination,
it
appeared
pretty
lifeless
to
me.
“I
think
it’s
a
goner
Honey”..
“No!”
she
replied,
“It’s
still
breathing”
Okay,
so
now
we
make
it
back
to
the
parking
lot
and
get
into
the
car.
Elke
is
sitting
in
the
front
passenger
seat
with
this
seagull,
which
I
swear
had
to
have
been
waterlogged
with
20
gallons
of
water.
Elke’s
jacket
was
soaked,
her
clothes
were
soaked,
and
I
watched
the
seat
become
saturated
and
start
overflowing
water
onto
the
floor.
Our
house,
or
should
I
say
the
Emergency
Room,
is
only
three
minutes
from
the
Marina.
We
get
home
not
a
minute
too
soon
in
my
opinion,
as
this
thing
is
really
soaked.
I’m
already
thinking
about
the
wet/dry
vac
as
we
pull
into
the
driveway.
Inside,
Elke
starts
gathering
towels
to
absorb
more
water.
This
was
one
water
logged
bird.
No
wonder
it
was
going
down
for
the
last
time.
About
and
hour
later,
and
at
least
ten
towels
later,
Elke
is
sitting
on
the
couch
in
the
living
room
with
the
gull
wrapped
in
her
lap
warming
it
in
front
of
the
pellet
stove.
It
might
have
been
a
heart
warming
picture
to
most
folks,
but
to
me
it
was
like
the
picture
of
impending
doom.
“How’s
it
doing
Elk?”
“I
can’t
tell
for
sure,
but
its
eyes
are
open,
and
it’s
staring
at
me.”
I
walked
over
to
look,
and
it
did
appear
to
be
more
alert
now.
In
fact
its
eyes
were
following
me
as
I
moved.
“It
just
might
make
it
honey.
We
need
to
call
someone
who
takes
in
injured
wildlife.”
So
I
start
the
phone
calls,
beginning
with
my
buddy
in
Florence
who
works
for
the
State
Parks
at
Honeyman.
I
figured
they
must
deal
with
injured
birds
all
the
time.
“Hey
we
need
some
help.
We
got
this
seagull
down
here
that
Elke
saved,…..”
“Well,
you
know
it’s
illegal
to
have
a
seagull”
“Hey!
I
don’t
want
the
seagull!
I
want
to
find
a
place
to
take
it”
“Gee
Bill,
I
don’t
know
of
anyone
that
does
that
in
your
area.
Sounds
to
me
like
you
may
be
the
new
daddy
of
a
seagull!”
After
a
few
more
calls
and
the
end
of
the
day,
I
was
still
getting
no
where.
Okay,
now
what?
It
looks
like
we
are
going
to
keep
it
overnight.
I
check
the
internet
to
find
out
how
to
nourish
a
seagull.
All
right!
Cat
food
with
fish
in
it!
Just
happen
to
have
some.
So
imagine
this
picture.
Elke
is
sitting
on
the
couch
with
the
bird
in
her
lap,
and
I’m
feeding
it
cat
food
with
the
pliers
on
my
Leatherman.
And
by
the
way,
Elke’s
cat
is
also
watching
me
feed
it,
and
I
know
he
was
pissed
off.
It’s
going
for
the
cat
food
like
crazy!
However,
as
I’m
watching
this
thing
eat,
I
can’t
help
but
notice
how
sharp
its
beak
is.
“Hey
Honey,
have
you
noticed
the
beak
on
this
thing?
Be
careful
in
case
it
tries
to
bite
you.”
I
leave
to
get
more
food
from
the
kitchen,
and
suddenly
Elke
screams,
“Bill!
It’s
got
my
hand!!”
I
run
into
the
living
room,
and
I
see
this
supposed
“close
to
death”
critter
with
a
death
grip
on
her
hand.
Has
he
been
faking
it
the
whole
time?
I
grab
a
towel
and
pull
the
bird
away,
at
which
point
I
observe
a
nice
puncture
wound
between
Elke’s
right
thumb
and
forefinger.
Okay,
it’s
struggling
inside
the
towel,
it
just
bit
Elke,
and
so
my
guess
is
its
feeling
better
and
ready
to
fly.
I
go
outside
with
it
and
set
it
on
the
front
porch.
It
tried
to
spread
its
wings
a
couple
times
and
was
obviously
having
trouble
standing.
To
my
great
disappointment
it
flopped
its
way
down
seven
stairs,
and
decided
to
lie
in
the
driveway.
Well,
that
isn’t
going
to
work
as
one
of
the
neighborhood
animals
will
surely
get
to
it.
Back
inside
the
house
we
go,
but
not
before
we
find
a
cardboard
box
to
put
it
in.
Oh,
and
of
course
with
some
more
cat
food.
As
I
carry
this
thing
up
the
stairs,
I
couldn’t
help
notice
what
a
large
wing
span
it
had
for
a
seagull.
Obviously
it
was
full
grown.
The
night
falls,
and
we’re
getting
desperate.
Obviously
the
guestroom
is
out
of
the
question,
so
what
do
you
do
with
a
sick
seagull
with
an
attitude
problem?
You
guessed
it…Lock
it
in
the
bathroom!
Really?
Why
not.
I
needed
to
paint
the
bathroom
anyway
I’m
thinking,
so
what
could
it
hurt?
We
have
two
bathrooms;
we’ll
just
use
the
other
one.
Surprisingly,
the
night
went
rather
smoothly,
with
only
an
occasional
bump
and
patter
coming
from
the
bathroom.
Happily,
when
we
opened
the
door
in
the
morning
all
the
cat
food
had
been
eaten
and
the
bird
was
obviously
doing
much
better.
However,
as
I
removed
the
bird
from
the
room,
I
realized
I
had
been
inhaling
some
god
awful
odor
I
had
never
smelled
before.
What
is
that!?
And
what
is
this
oily
filmy
crud
on
the
walls?
Okay,
so
maybe
it
was
a
bad
idea.
Now
it’s
out
to
the
back
deck
until
you
can
fly
off.
I
put
it
on
the
deck
where
I
keep
my
barbeque,
and
put
another
can
of
“Fancy
Feast”
cat
food
out
there.
Not
wanting
to
go
through
another
night
with
this
thing,
I
drive
to
the
Oregon
Marine
Biology
Institute.
Surely
they
would
be
interested
in
caring
for
this
creature
or
know
where
to
take
it.
Yeah
right.
So,
another
night
goes
by,
and
the
seagull,
who
we
have
now
named
“Jonathan”
(sure
why
not),
has
decided
he
likes
the
bottom
shelf
of
my
barbeque
and
has
been
roosting
there
in
between
eating
the
cat
food,
and
pretending
he
wants
to
fly
off.
Now
the
deck
and
more
importantly
the
barbeque
is
starting
to
smell
an
awful
lot
like
the
bathroom.
I’m
thinking
this
can’t
go
on
much
longer,
and
I’m
starting
to
notice
a
gleam
in
Elke’s
eyes,
which
could
only
mean
permanent
adoption.
Nope.
Not
going
to
happen,
this
thing
has
got
to
get
better
soon.
In
the
meantime
I
need
to
figure
out
how
to
clean
up
that
mess
in
the
bathroom
so
I
can
clean
my
deck
and
barbeque
later.
Maybe
now,
is
a
good
time
to
paint?
God,
I
hope
that
stuff
isn’t
contagious!
Why
we
never
thought
of
this
on
day
one,
I
don’t
know.
We
have
a
friend
who
works
for
Fish
and
Wildlife!
We
should
have
thought
about
this
right
away.
When
I
called
he
immediately
told
me,
“Bill,
its
illegal
to
keep
a
seagull.”
I’m
thinking,
thank
God
you
told
me
that,
as
if
I
didn’t
know
by
now.
It
might
have
been
a
blessing
if
the
Seagull
Police
had
shown
up
at
the
front
door
on
day
one
with
a
search
warrant.
“There
is
a
place
in
Bandon
called
“Free
flight”
that
takes
injured
seabirds.”
Great!
I
called
immediately
and
talked
to
the
boss.
“We’ve
got
this
seagull
my
wife
saved
in
the
harbor,
and
it
needs
help.”
As
it
turns
out
they
have
room
for
it,
and
want
us
to
bring
it
down
right
away.
“By
the
way,
do
you
know
it’s
illegal
to
keep
a
seagull?”
“Yes,
I
seem
to
recall
hearing
about
that
somewhere.”
Walking
out
onto
the
deck
with
a
cardboard
box
full
of
air
holes
was
undoubtedly
a
giveaway
to
Jonathan.
I
could
tell
he
was
more
than
comfortable
living
on
my
barbeque
shelf,
and
what
with
the
Fancy
Feast
cat
food
and
tid
bits
of
tuna
Elke
was
feeding
him;
it
was
definitely
a
5
star
roost
he
didn’t
want
to
part
with.
After
a
lot
of
coaxing,
trickery
and
maneuvering
he
was
in
the
box
and
the
back
of
the
pickup.
Of
course
with
the
truck
shell,
it
too
was
going
to
smell
like
the
bathroom,
deck
and
barbeque.
What
the
hell
IS
that
smell?
Arriving
at
Free
flight
we
are
met
at
the
back
door
by
a
very
nice
man,
who
escorted
us
inside
with
Jonathan.
He
opens
the
box
and
immediately
his
eyes
became
intently
focused
on
Jonathan
the
seagull.
At
first
I
thought
he
was
going
tell
us
that
Jonathan
was
a
goner.
Nope,
he
simply
said,
“that’s
not
a
seagull,
it’
a
Fulmar!”
A
phoo
what?
“A
Fulmar."
It’s
a
predatory
bird
of
prey
that
lives
about
60
miles
offshore.
It’s
rare
to
find
them
ashore,
as
they
only
come
in
to
breed.
They
primarily
feed
on
squid,
and
are
quite
dangerous.”
Well,
now
things
are
starting
to
make
a
little
more
sense.
We
thought
that
beak
looked
a
little
odd
for
a
seagull,
but
what
do
we
know.
Of
the
hundreds
of
seagulls
in
the
Charleston
Boat
Basin,
only
Elke
could
reach
down
and
pluck
out
a
Fulmar!
He
told
us
that
sometimes
a
storm
could
blow
one
in
to
land,
or
it
could
possibly
have
gotten
caught
in
a
fishing
net,
which
was
more
likely
since
we
hadn’t
had
any
storms.
It
was
pretty
much
a
miracle
the
bird
survived.
“This
bird
is
very
dehydrated
and
under
nourished”
he
told
us,
“we’ll
put
in
on
a
diet
of
squid
for
a
few
days
and
see
how
it
does.”
He
looked
at
Elke,
“You
actually
had
this
on
your
lap?”
Elke
told
him,
“Yes,
and
except
for
the
one
bite,
he
didn’t
try
to
hurt
me.
He
knows
we
were
trying
to
help
him.”
He
replied,
“You
must
be
right,
because
these
birds
can
do
a
lot
more
damage
to
a
person
than
just
a
nip
on
the
hand.
He
could
have
taken
your
finger
off!”
Free
flight,
I
have
to
say
was
a
very
impressive
setup.
They
had
all
kinds
of
wild
critters
there
that
were
being
cared
for.
The
objective
is
to
keep
them
from
as
much
human
contact
as
possible
and
eventually
release
them
back
into
the
wild.
Two
weeks
later,
we
called
to
see
how
old
Jonathan
was
doing.
He
was
released
to
fly
home
a
week
earlier.
Congratulations
Jonathan!
Sometimes
we
think
about
him
and
get
a
good
laugh,
but
also
a
good
feeling
about
being
able
to
help.
I
have
to
say,
for
a
dangerous
sea
predator,
he
really
wasn’t
that
bad
of
a
house
guest.

Joke
of
the
Month |
|
March's
joke
of
the
month
is
brought
to
you
by
www.myboatclub.com
and
is
titled;
Forgive
me
for
I
know
not
what
I
do!!
John
and
Paul
went
fishing
together
for
the
first
time.
Paul
immediately
pulled
in
a
nice
3lb
Bass.
John
was
shocked
and
surprised
when
Paul
grabbed
the
fish
and
began
to
slap
him
silly
with
it.
Suddenly
Paul
broke
off
the
attack
and
began
apologizing
profusely.
"It's
a
compulsion
I
have
and
I
have
no
control
over
my
actions;
I'm
so
embarrassed",
exclaimed
Paul.
"Well,
you're
going
to
have
to
get
some
help
and
see
a
psychiatrist",
said
John,
"before
I
will
ever
go
fishing
with
you
again!"
Six
Months
later
Paul
called
John
and
they
arranged
to
go
fishing
again.
Once
again
Paul
quickly
caught
a
small
Bass.
Grabbing
it
he
once
again
attacked
John
slapping
him
silly
with
the
fish.
This
time
Paul
did
not
stop
the
attack
to
apologize.
John
had
to
restrain
him
almost
capsizing
the
boat.
"I
thought
you
were
going
the
see
a
shrink
and
get
this
fixed",
yelled
John
as
he
held
Paul
down.
"I
did",
said
Paul,
squirming.
"Well
it
didn't
help",
roared
John!
"Oh
yes
it
did",
said
Paul.
"I
still
have
the
compulsion,
but
I
have
now
learned
to
accept
it!"
