    Out again this morning, rainy but calm. Decent temp was 250 -350. One of those days where we dropped more than we landed but still a great day. Lakerunner who was fishing similar water crushed it including 3 Atlantics. Can’t remember fishing water this deep so early in the year but not complaining.

    Tough to say from a pic. My guess is 16lbs ish?

    Not fun. You say it cranks but won’t start. That year should have a point and condenser ignition system. I would start there. Check cap and rotor. Clean and gap points Replace spark plugs Also fuel and filters

    Can’t stop thinking about this one…. Fished Sandy Creek yesterday and picked this laker over 140 ft. We didn’t have a scale and we’re not in the derby so we sent her back down. Almost don’t want to ask but any guesses on weight?

    Thanks for that @chinook35 problem is they have jumped so many wires together it makes tracing anything original almost impossible

BROWN: It is used for three different boat accessories i.e. 1) wire generator armature to the regulator, 2) fuse or switch to pumps or lights, 3) generator terminal to the alternator or light to regulator. BROWN with Yellow Stripe: It is used to wire the switch or fuse to the blower. DARK BLUE: It is used to connect the fuses and Switches to the light. LIGHT BLUE: It is used to wire oil pressure lenders to the gauge. TAN: It is used to wire the water temperature to the sender gauge. ORANGE: Its is used for there types of boat wiring i.e it is used to 1) wire distribution panels to accessory switches, 2) Ammeter to alternator and generator output, 3) boat accessory fuses or switches. PURPLE: It is used for two purposes i.e. 1) wire an ignition switch to the coil and electrical instruments, 2) wire the distribution panel to electrical instruments in a marine. PINK: It is used to wire the boat fuel gauge senders to the gauge.

    Hey everyone! Just bought an 86 StarCraft with an omc cobra 4.3. boat wiring was messed with by previous owner and it was a disaster. Determined the starter and assist solenoid were bad replaced both of those, still wouldn’t start. mechanic bypassed the ignition, and engine turns over just fine. Been diagnosing the wiring and looking at original manual and other forums, but I’m still stumped. have a purple wire that no matter what I do I just can’t trace it. any help or insight would be appreciated, anxious to get fishing as we know the boat and motor are solid!

    I agree Are there any live web cameras that you could get a read on near shore conditions I used to see a Weatherbug feed from Forest Lawn but that no longer seems to be up and running

    I don’t think Lady O uses the weather apps or forecasts. She has a mind of her own. I get that it’s a bummer to get to the launch and the 1-3 ft waves forecast are clearing the 10 ft breakwall. I’ve been there too many times. I only live 10 mles from the lake , but anyone traveling distance would naturally like to know what to expect. Unfortunately, it’s a crap shoot One thing I’ve learned over the years. Add 1 ft to ANY wave prediction from anywhere. If it says 1-3 ft. You can bet on 2-4 Good luck. It is what it is

    After some bad luck my first two times out, (hung up Tom and another hunter shot at a bird I was working) I got back after it in a new spot and scored on a beautiful NY public turkey. Struck him owl-hooting for the road and then closed 800 yards fast to get into his bubble. He was fresh off the limb and once I got to 120 from him I sat down and did two light yelp sequences. He hammered at both. Then I went to no call and straight scratching. He hammered at every scratch and closed fast. I picked the gap in the brush that he ended up showing in because I really focused on hearing drumming! First time I’ve ever heard it! Ended with a 42-yard bang flop from the 410. Dead by 6:13! Being aggressive paid off big!
