Shouldn't make any difference. .I'd still use the marine grade Stabil in both of 'em. Better yet, drain the fuel tank(s) if it's going to sit all winter without being used and replace with fresh...
If it's an inboard engine, it shouldn't make a bit of difference. If it's a two stroke outboard, you might richen the oil a bit in the premix. I do this as a matter of fact as most of my operations...
I got to thinking about it and remembered I had a similar problem with my older (2001) Arctic Cat snowmobile. On flat ground, everything was fine but come to a steep hill and WOT and it lost RPM's....
The way your describing it, it sounds like it's one of the electrical components/modules getting ready to fail. I'm not familiar enough with outboard engines to be able to say just which one, but if...
Quite a bit of the electronics in the more modern engines can be temperature sensitive. Does this happen after it's been running for a while and warmed up? And does it do this on a regular cycle;...
So in other words, if and when I catch one, I take the hook out and toss it back knowing it's not gonna live? Or maybe put a little sign on the lure telling bull trout not to hit it????
Agenda? Yup, that I do have, mainly catching up on hunting and fishing now that I'm retired. And yes, years ago bull trout were considered trash fish. Now when I catch one, I smuggle it home and into...
Shame on you for even thinking about using kokanee for bait!!! Better to use those durned bull trout instead. I've accidentally caught a few of 'em and don't see that they fight any better than...
Another decent net is one made by Frabil. Telescoping handle with a lock and the net folds up for storage and has landed several rainbows in the 5 lb range in the last couple of years with no...
I live kind of out in the boonies and go to Baker City every week or so. When the weather is decent, I'll stop at Phillips Reservoir on the way home and fish for a while off the bank. Yesterday I...
The light gear is the way I do almost all fishing anyway, 4-6 lb test line, light poles with small reels and barbless hooks. Lures that have barbed hooks I flatten into barbless. I like to give the...
Unfortunately the one in my boat is an older model and to take it and the transducer off would be a major pain, not to mention getting it and a battery into the backpack. I'll be snowmobiling to and...
I watched that several times and have one question; at what altitude was the speed of sound broken and what was the air density? The speed of sound will depend on the air density, at sea lever it's...
Thanks for the hints. I've pretty much got the lake scoped out as to where I've found 'em during the summer so they probably won't be that far away during winter. I don't yet have a had held fish...
Winter and ice fishing isn't that far away now here in the hills of eastern Oregon and my question is; what works for kokanee through the ice?
This was a few years after the John Day dam was built so the dams aren't totally to blame for the salmon population decline. In the early 1990's a number of local creeks were closed to all fishing...
I remember years ago when the bull trout (arctic char) had no limits on 'em in eastern Oregon. As many as you wanted and size was no problem. Take 'em home for fertilizer or pitch 'em on the bank....
A buddy got me started on Morton's Sugar Cure. Yes, it's designed for bacon curing and smoking but it works nicely on kokes too. I've been just rubbing 'em with it and putting 'em in a stainless pan...
Another good wood for bunks is redwood, if you can find it. Also, tamarack (western red larch) is another good choice as neither of 'em will tend to rot with repeated wettings. For covering, I use a...
When using the ethanol gas in any of my two stroke engines I richen the gas-oil mix to 4 oz per gallon plus adding an ounce or so of marine grade Stabil. No problems with any of the chain saws, weed...
Seeing as I live in eastern Oregon and am not real fond of a lot driving, the local (to me) places are Phillips Reservoir, Olive Lake, Malhuer Reservoir and occasionally Thief Valley Reservoir. Olive...
Here ya go http://www.lat-long.com/Latitude-Longitude-1147212-Oregon-Olive_Lake.html When winter hits, it's some good ice fishing but it takes a snowmobile to get there as the roads will be snowed...
1988 14' Grumman GSS
1989 Johnson 15 hp outboard
Calkins Trailer
Easy towing behind my little Tojo 4 wd pickup
Very stable boat for its size
I switched to an Okuma Magda Pro this year for two reasons, 1st was cost (around $30 at Bi Mart during a close out sale) and 2nd was that it has a line counter. While it's a bit bigger than I'd like...
