    Looks like a great setup. Looked on line for the Scotty contact sleeve and no one has it in stock. Have to call locally (Rochester) area to see if I can get it.

    Fleas were so bad this weekend they loaded up in my antenna wire and broke it off while I was raising the ball. Just wondering if anyone had a one they weren't using and wanted to part with.

    Decent day for us this morning. Boated 16 fish and lost a handful more. Fished between 70 and 85 feet between Shipbuilders and Hedges. Mostly Browns with a couple of small kings. Everything we ran took hits. Leadcore, divers and downriggers. Fleas weren't to bad early but late morning they were terrible.

    I've got a 1987 350 260 hp Mercruiser I.O. and have been using ethanol free, 91 octane gas from Fast Trac for the last few years. Now they have gone to 87 octane ethenol free instead. I'm thinking I need a higher octane for that motor but thought I would ask here. Thanks for any input.

    Nice morning. Even HOT beats working. How were the fleas and cottonwood this morning?

    We fished from 100' to about 150'. Went 14 for 17 in about 4 1/2 hours. Kings and steelhead with everything coming 60' and above. All on spoons.

    Went out Sunday morning. Didn't see much in the way of fleas but did get a lot of cottonwood on the lines. It's even harder to get off then the fleas! Hopefully that will clear up soon.

    Is there a big difference in the quality of Lead core by brands. Looking for advice on what brand to use. Thanks

    Makes sense that that would be a problem when trolling. Thanks.

    I had an overheating problem with my 260hp 350 merc that I tried to figure out for a couple of years. Mine was running hot while at low, trolling speed. I did everything I could think of to fix it. Changed the impeller, thermostat, water pump, temp sensor and even the temp gauge. After a long, time consuming couple of years If found an article about the check valves in the cooling system. it's just a couple of nylon balls with springs on a threaded rod. I'm not sure what they are designed to do. I bought a set for under $15 and took care of my problem. I think the some 4.3s have these. Your problem sounds a little different than mine but might be worth a shot. You can actually adjust them by tightening and loosening the balls. Maybe Hank can tell us what these are.

    Without breaking the bank, what is a good dipsey rod. Running 9 1/2 Eagle Claw, Starfire now but the reel seats have loosened up over the years and need to replace 2. Running Braid on one and wire on the other. Thanks For the input.

    https://www.prorebuilders.com/pr/ This place rebuilds downrigger motors for some local Charter Captains. I haven't dealt with them personally but have heard good things.

    The Pics aren't opening for me. Says I must sign in but I am already signed in. Not sure if the problem is on my end.

    Looks great. What did you use on the teak?
  15. Bad Habit
    If the deal falls through for some reason let me know.

    Just saw you were from Adams Mass. Were these used in Salt water?

    Any idea on what shipping would cost to area code 14625?

    Usually using it on the backing but on the lead or copper would help if I didn't want to let it all out and it didn't damage it.

    Wondering what was the preferred planner board release for Copper and leadcore. I'm using Cannon offshore releases I happened to have but figured there must be other releases that will hold them. Thanks, Rick

    This is what I used on my batteries. Cleaned them up nicely. Not sure if this will fit your needs. Just be sure to use in line fuses. http://johnnyraysports.com/terminals.htm

    Transducer angle I don't seem to be getting true "hooks" on my fish finder. I was thinking maybe my transducer is angled a little to much forward. I also lose the downrigger balls on the screen when I'm fishing deeper. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.

    Caught this off Rochester yesterday. Has a hooked jaw but no spots anywhere and a brownish color to it. Weight is about 10 lbs. I've never seen this before.
