We were just up there. Didn't fish, but it's interesting to know that these fish are still...
When I've tried it, it was more like a combination of vertical drifting and snagging.101duh101
Three to five feet of anchor line for every foot of depth. The anchor chain acts as a weight to keep your anchor laying down on the bottom, thus helping it to dig in. In a fresh water lake, you can...
It depends on the size and weight of your boat. The heavier it is, floating it off starts to look like a good idea. If you can handle it, jacking it off the trailer on one side with hydraulic jacks...
Don't rig up anything half-baked on your boat. You will likely regret it later. You don't want electrical sparks on the boat (gasoline fumes), so the alligator clips is a bad idea. The automotive...
Yes, and it's illegal in California IIRC. We have so many oil scents available that using WD-40 is probably redundant anyway. And it doesn't stay on the lure well, if judging by the big oil slick...
The title of your post made me think that Blue Mesa was either a bar or a brothel. tooexcited
It's hard to tell if a carburetor is clean. Some of the jets can have a hole that's the size of a human hair. All it takes is enough time without running to evaporate the gas and leave a plug of...
I just bought a Thule rack after dinking around with a hanger-type for two years. I'll never go back to the hanger type. Too much time putting the bikes on and insuring they don't knock into each...
I also think you have your low speed adjustment screw set too high. I can troll my 15 ft. Gregor with a 25hp 2-stroke at 1.2-1.4 mph all day. The 9.9 hp 4-stroke on my Jetcraft was doing the same...
I thought you were talking about a rainbow trout. Nice photos.
There are two kinds of aluminum boats....the riveted and the welded. The welded ones generally don't leak at all. The riveted ones work loose in the pounding of the water on the hull and eventually...
Yeah...electrical wiring in boats can test your patience. I think they don't include the kit because they want you to think it will be simple to hook up, so you will buy it. If there are too many...
The wife and I are taking a train trip through the Canadian Rockies soon. Vancouver to Vancouver 12 days. Lake Louise is one stop. Are there any Kokes in that Lake or anywhere near where we are...
I use them exclusively on my boat. I keep a small screwdriver to make adjustments on the releases. I gave up on the yellow Offshore releases because of false releases. With the Shastas, I get NO...
You have a few products to choose from. Some guys are using Sea Foam, . Good for cleaning carbs, fuel system. Others are using Stabil, which comes in an auto and a marine version. This is good for...
There is an opportunity here for one of those Rube Goldberg contraptions that starts with the fish biting the hook, goes through about 20 steps of various inclined planes, pulleys, and falling...
The smaller the boat, the more likely it is to capsize if the downrigger ball hangs up on the bottom. Remember to set your downrigger drag loose enough so that it will pay out line if snagged...
Well...here in looney CA, they have a law that says drinking alcohol while operating a boat is illegal, just like driving a car while drinking. I don't like a lot of the laws those boneheads in...
Wait 'til he shows you his Apex collection! It could probably fill a presidential library.4moremney
I saw a guy launch a brand new North River with the trailer attached. It took him a good ten minutes to figure out why the boat didn't separate from the trailer. Every guy who has a boat will...
I think that every lure type requires different leader lengths, dodger/flasher choices and boat speeds. I don't have as much experience as some of you, but I do catch fish on a variety of lures...
I don't think you need to do anything special, other than putting a little tension on the line as you wind it on the spool. The line is very thin for the same pound test as mono line and is more...
Smoke,
Howdy! I am unaware of a specific product for your problem, but can you adjust the tension on the steering mechanism? My 25HP allows me to do this
and I'm thinking that if you adjust it...
I also believe that the trailer-to-motor lower unit is the way to go. Those shims and smaller approaches don't remove the moment from the transom.
You do need one or you will get a cracked transom.
