    I also have the airmar transom on my raymarine unit. It's really good. 600w. I do have some trouble once in a while with it locking on a high trigger but I just adjust the gain down and it fixes it.

    Don't need a line counter for copper. Just let it all out. Don't need a twillie either. Copper is soft. But yea you will want more than one.

    I have fish boxes on my boat that circulate the water. When the water is 42 degrees, I can weigh in a possible board fish and the successfully release it with no issues. My fish boxes can hold 8 adult kings in each one. So one fish in the box is in good shape as long as it isn't bleeding.

    I had 4 charters on Cayuga this past weekend and when I went to pull out fish to clean, they were all fighting mad. Thought I might lose one over the side!

    How about for a 221 Islander 4.3L mercruiser. yes, power steering.

    For an islander you need the type where the autopilot mounts to the steering wheel. I had a raymarine sport pilot and it worked great. It's still working working fine after 13 years on my islander that I sold to my friend.

    4.3l mercruiser stahl at idle

    It's not that expensive to have it professionally rebuilt. I think.it was 150 bucks including the kit. The reason I think.it's the carb and not gas is that it runs fine other than idle. I've had bad gas and it will run crappy at any speed.

    charter tipping

    in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

    Posted

    I charge very little for my charters. I do not run a mate. Some folks tip, some do not. I dont care either way. But take my fuel, maintenance, repairs, tackle etc, I break even some years. It's up to the customer and I don't chastise them for not tipping. In fact some of my best customers do not tip ands that's just fine with me.

    fly rod repair

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    I'm looking for someone to repair a Lamiglas fly rod.  The end plug and the tightening rings are missing on the reel seat.  The rest of the reel seat is fine.  If parts cant be had, it might need a whole new reel seat.  This is a fairly expensive rod so I would prefer someone with extensive rod building experience.  Thanks.

    You must call at time of entry. That means you have to use your cell phone during tournament fishing time. What don't you get? No communication period. Who's to say I'm telling the observer I'm calling Canadian boarder patrol when I call my buddy who's down below Olcott. Pretty simple. And if you have followed the

    thread you will see that have been hassled and threatened with boat confiscation just for being close. Kevin is making the proper call. I understand. The playing field is level. That's what this tournament is about. Insulting me and making innuendos towards others is classless.

    No just the WHI as far as I interpret the rules. Look fellas the canadians have really clamped down on coming into their waters by boat. I have been on the end of their wrath. You need to follow their rules which can vary from official to official.

    Y not. You are way off base. Who's to say that when I get a half a mile from the border that I pretend to call the canadians and call my buddy and he gives me info on a good pod of kings!.. Kevin is protecting the integrity of the tournament. I'm not too cheap to make the run. In fact I'll beat you there.
