waterlogged

We run it all including sticks from planers. All seem to work at one time or another.

Please explain oxygenated gasoline???

Our E-Z Steer is original equipment with our boat. 1986 BlueFin - connects our 90 h.p. to our 15 h.p. kicker. Had to make one repair on it since we bought the boat in 1998. Had to have the kicker motor connecting fitting welded to the plate. No other problems befoer or after.

If you use just one it make steering a pain in the A$$ - you're always fighting the wheel cause of the drag on only one side.

If you have or know someone with a digital voltmeter you can measure between the battery negative terminal and each downrigger cable while it's in the water. This will tell you if you are in the ball park or over the fence.

Are you positive of this date?? It seems to be a week early. It has always been the first FULL weekend in June!!!

The Lewiston KOA has cabins - a few but they book pretty quick.

Rodney,

Look at it from the other perspective. You have never really fished for Salmon and wan to know what to do. I watched and have copies of Chip Porter's videos that Traveling Man purchased a number of years ago when we were just really getting into the salmon scene. I found the same thing that we already knew a lot / most of it from this and other boards. It was still exciting to watch as the blod started to boil watching them catching fish and remebering what we were missing until next spring/fall. Maybe Keating's videos aren't as "hands on" as Proter's were??? Don't know have not talked to you avout them.

Also not a big reader so never read his books.

Erbyjoe - The Original!!!!

Yankee - were you even born then????

Snow heck - that reminds me of my younger days playing Asteroids on the Atari!!!!

WHERE'S MY JOY STICK !!!! :shock: :shock:

Let's keep it clean guys

Scotty above all

Fishshack,

Thanks for the link. Very well worth the time to watch it. If everyone knows this information a lot more people will survive falling through the ice.

Thanks again.

Will all Walker Downriggers handle 15# balls for the DR or Moore Sub Troll regardless of age of the riggers??

:?: Jason,

Is that 12# on a rigger with a DEpth Raider Probe? I didn't want to read anyting into your statement

Years ago the Oswego Pro Am had a statement in the rules regarding NO COMMUNICATION reading that the observer would "collect and hold all cell phones until the conclusion of the fishing day".

Now this would preclude a "captain" (pro or amatuer) from hiding some messaging electronic device in the head. But now if I was the observer I am going to go inspect the head right away?!?!?

Scott,

But what about the storage fee??

Rodney,

You probably won't see a bill until the spring is my guess!! Although maybe Scott has a better feel for it as to when you'll receive the bill. Maybe you'll get the charge when the repairs are done??? as you are having work done too.

gokudl3,

I am sure you will get plenty of local help but in case you don't - Don Cook's in Lansing on Armstrong Road is a GREAT Mercruiser guy. Don and his son Perry come highly recommended. I know it's a bit of a haul form Hamlin but if worse comes to worse he's there for you.

JBB,

Respectfully too.....my boat is an '86 and I have 1 white body and one black body Mag 10 and neither have the auto up stop. Must be they are earlier than the circa 1987 models. That is what I am calling the "older" Mag 10's. I guess I thought the riggers were newer than the boat but apparently not.

So I do really have "older" Mag 10's - :shock:

Great thought Erbyjoe. I think we all wish that for our men in uniform!!!!

As a note to Jet Boat Bill's message - the older Cannon Mag 10's do not have the auto stop feature on them!!!!

It sounds like the toggle is wired up backwards. I have older Mag 10's and the down position is "hold down" for descent. The up position is up for continuous retrieve.

The other "push button" is a circuit breaker reset button. If there is a current overload - like when your ball is all the way up and you don't turn the switch off the circuit breaker trips. Then after you turn the switch off again the white button resets the circuit breaker for continued operation.

Hope this helps.

Oh the older Mag 10's are sloooooow. Not like the newer ones and especially the high speed ones.

Gray,

Hope to run into you in the woods next week . We hunt the Diaz Farm.

Maybe if we can't meet through Jim and Lou we can do it hunting.
