Fishstix

My Lowrance GPS Zoom in button is stuck in. Im looking for a good used GPS with LO and fingerlake charts. I would perfer a furuno. But I am open to anything color . I dont fish that much anymore so I cant really justify a new unit. please reply thru this forum .Ill check it daily.

A fishing buddy of mine ,now gone, used to have one of these. We called it old faithfull. I dont know the lures actual name. My best description of it : A little larger than NK 28 size,It had a white rough almost sandy feeling finish.with a faded looking ladder back under the sandy finish. Any around? It would be nice to find a half dozen.....or one It was one of those spoons we only had one of that always worked .

Havent checked LOU site lately. Seadog sent me a email about the course. Im interested... also unemployed,, It might get me back interested in fishing..

I ve been running the whoke stimulis package. Catching some big bonus fish. Stimulis been very very good for me.. Me Like the pretty green....

Ive used the new salted cutbait strips the last couple of weekends.Its been smokin...... Cutbait for me has been a love hate relationship. I hate the smell I hate the slower troll but if there are some big salmon around I learned a little trick Wet your hands before you handle it and the smell rinses right off. They are a little thick . You have to squeeze em down to fit some of my heads. The stuff fresh out of the pack is very durable.good for several fish.But once its frooze its only good for about one fish. seems to get soft and mealy after freezing. I saved some I ran. and froze it and it still caught fish. I ordered four packs a couple weeks ago. It was delivered to my door . This week Im ordering six.... Im going to try to just refrigerating it and not freez it .See how it keeps. There aint nothing like a hit on a wire rod pullin meat....

I caught a 25.11 king Sunday morn out of hughes. For some reason it hasent showed up on the board yet.????????? Came on a Hootchie mama green glow .104 down 110 FOW. Out of Hughes........ Five derbys in a row with a derby fish.Trying to keep the streak goin... Not bad for weekend warriors. FISHSTIX

Im at Hughes right now. and the winds a wippin. Ill give er till noon to settle down if it dont Im heading home. 3 derby kings out of Hughes. I cant seem to break 17lbs. Nice fish. Fishstix SEE ya outthere

sea fleas are showing up bigtime . Even on the wires.....

After thinking about this awhile,you may need a Check Valve in the fuel line. They keep the gas from draining back into the tank. They are usually installed on the suction end of the fuel line. Some have a filter or screen built into them. Always try the easiest stuff first. Its probably something simple.

A good guess would be the fuel tank vent plugged.. Or it could be sucking air around a fitting. Ive never had that problem with a four stroke.

You must have got a lemon .. I absolutely love my Simrad. I dont touch the steering wheel unless in pullling into the marina or docking. It wont hold in real high winds that create the flat sided waves that hit in all directions but I probably should have not been fishing in those conditions anyway. Hopefully the new one"s performance will exceed your expectations. Good luck...

Does Abes have it now? Im heading up today. My biggest salmon have all come on cutbait and I never ran it last year....

Good job. We been doin a few on green. No biggies yet.

I cant tell you why it was beeping. But I do know that the allen screws that hold the brass steering wheel stud to the clutch unit are metric. So if you want to tighten things up a little you need a metric allen set.... I dont know if all the units were metric ,but mine was. To get into this a little more I had the same problem with the motor running but not turning the wheel. It turned out to be the gear slipping on the end of the motor shaft. I think if you archive on this site you can find the pictures or they may have gotten lost when the last site went down... I put a small setscrew in the motorgear It was originally held on with a metal clip. worked a year or so then the belt went bad. I no longer own a sport pilot plus.

Yankee if you absolutely positively cant get anyone. Let me know. I know how much time and effort you put into these and I hate to see you hanging. I dont know the area. Probably cant get a place to stay etc. .... But I always help a brother out. Fishstix 607 659 5912 Is it this weekend?

After watching the DEC dump 9,000 domestic rainbows in at Hughes last week 10" to 12" in length. Rainbows must be 21" to keep in Lake Ontario. BTW The trucks were from Caledonia hatchery.

Thanks LOU... I bought just a transducer, Thanks Polarbear but I already have a extra control box ,and a extra probe.

Nice report... Bet it sure was nice to have a rigger take off screaming. Over our way its been 99% surface action . Quality bows ,occasional king in the top 30FOW...... Flat water,overcast,perfict temp.fishbiteing,Life could not be better!!!!

My hull mouniting bracket broke . My transducer quit showing me surface speed last year. Temp is still working fine. If Im going to pull the boat to fix the bracket I might as well change the transducer. There has to be a few 840 transducers with mounting brackets out there. I would like to get one this week....

A few were caught in that area last weekend. Heading up today ,Fishstix....CH68... White-n blue Arima Fishin out of Hughes

Im probably answering something I dont really know enough about. But I think you need the fluxgate compas to tell the GPS or autopilot what direction the boats going in . Or if the boats off course. I have the Simrad and most of the time I just point it in the direction I want to go . Your GPS unit probably has a GO TO button to tell the autopilot to go to a certain waypoint. Hope this helps,maybe someone can clarify this better. Hey Mackerel

Coup, You know where we are. Mackerel and I both have them. Ill be up most all the time .

Thanks for the report. A few were caught over our way last week. hopefully the wind will blow a few more our way.
