Blackthorn is loose. I think it would be great if it came in pellets though. Cleanup after shooting Blackhorn is soooooooooo much easier than cleanup after black powder. No soap and water, just use hoppes or your other favorite cleaning solvent. Loading between shots when using Blackhorn is also much easier than when using black powder. As long as Blackhorn is available, I won’t be using black powder. Rusty Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Starcraft 210 Fishmaster Yamaha F 200 Performance issues Need Advice.
rusty1034 replied to Trorun's topic in This Old Boat
Thanks Trophy, My best measurement from the keel, to the top of the transom, where the 150 is attached is 25 1/2". The Starcraft website lists the transom height as 25 ". My best measurement of the shaft length, from the bottom of the cavitation plate, to the top of the transom, where the motor is attached, is 22 1/2". The specs for the motor show that it comes in a 20" version, and a 25" version. Based on my measurement, I'm not certain which model I have. The model number from the sticker on the motor is - 1150f23hd. Based on the measurements I took, it seems as if the shaft is too short, which would explain the issues I'm having. I think I'll take a trip to the local dealer, or make some calls. Thanks - Rusty Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
Starcraft 210 Fishmaster Yamaha F 200 Performance issues Need Advice.
rusty1034 replied to Trorun's topic in This Old Boat
Howdy all, I'm writing seeking advice/info regarding a possible fix to an issue I'm having with cavitation similar to that described by Trorun. I have a 2014 Starcraft Fishmaster 196 with a 150 Mercury four stroke, and a 9.9 mercury four stroke kicker, which is mounted on the starboard side. My issue is with cavitation when I put the motor in gear and try to bring the boat up on plane. It seems as if the prop isn't getting the correct 'grip' on the water. The boat will eventually plane, however, when I then throttle back slightly, the rpms seem to drop, and the boat seems to begin going faster. I apologize for not having rpm and mph info for reference. I believe I've had the boat up to at least 40 mph, but when moving, I'm usually doing 25 ish. Currently the 150 is mounted in the second hole from the top. The cavitation plate is just about 3.5 inches above the very bottom of the hull. There is a 15", 17* prop on the motor. Would lowering the motor just one hole make any kind of noticeable difference ? The holes seem to be about 1" apart. Also, if it does need to be lowered, any recommendations on a good shop in the watertown/Henderson/Clayton/A Bay to do the work ? Thanks in advance- Rusty Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

Cayuga deep water jigging experts.
rusty1034 replied to spoonfed-1's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
Hi Glenn, I learned deep-water laker jigging from John Gaulke quite a few years ago. He operates Finger Lakes Angling Zone, and jigs for a majority of his trips. I know folks who have called him with questions. His link is : http://fingerlakesanglingzone.com/default.asp On John's page is a link to a fellow who makes 1 and 1 1/2 ounce jig heads. I use them and have good luck with them. http://billysmtolures.com/ For lures, I usually start with white plastic, but like any fishing, the fish prefer different bait on different days. I use a level wind reel with superbraid and a 10' floro leader. I use a firm 6' 6" rod. If you have a bow mount trolling motor with the 'anchor' feature, that can be a big help once you find the fish. Also drift bags, or trolling bags to slow the boat can be your friend . A vertical presentation of the bait usually works well. If you have a decent sonar, sometimes its possible to see the fish following your bait. Good luck, Rusty -
Sold / Closed White Plastic Fillet Board on Traxtech mounts $99
rusty1034 posted a topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
Howdy all, Up for sale is a white HDPE plastic fillet board that is mounted on two traxtech brackets. There is a 3" (?) drain hole with an RV sewage connector attached to the bottom. There is a 3' piece of flexible drainage hose that attaches to the board at the 3" hole. There is a slot cut in the board to hold a knife, and two stainless steel hooks on the outside. The dimensions of the unit are: 30"W x 17"D. The sides are 4" high. It has been used, as there are some cut marks in the plastic. I believe it is a home-made unit. Currently the unit is in Syracuse. I travel between Syracuse and Watertown weekly, so I can meet somewhere on that stretch of road for delivery. Price is $99 I can be reached at 315-726-1608 Thanks for looking- Rusty -

Owasco Owasco Lake Emerson Launch status?
rusty1034 replied to Stillwater's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
Stillwater, I haven't been there in a couple of weeks. When I was there, one side of the launch was open. Obviously the water was high, and the parking lot was pretty muddy due to the heavy equipment, but I was able to launch. I was told they hope to have the project completed by Memorial Day.

Howdy all, I read this article on Project 2014 and thought there might be others who would find it interesting and informative as well. Is Plan 2014 really the culprit behind Lake Ontario's high water levels? http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2017/04/is_plan_2014_really_the_culprit_behind_lake_ontarios_high_water_levels.html Thanks - Rusty

Howdy all, I stopped in at the FH launch to get a first hand look at the water level. In case you haven't heard, it's high. I just read an article stating that it's about 21" above normal, and is expected to get another 10" higher. Crazy ! Thanks - Rusty

Thanks PAP, Seems as if reports from all around NY have the water being high. Best of luck to you on your attempts ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

owasco 4.26.17 Howdy all, I launched around 3 pm from Emerson Park. It's still a mess, so if you plan on going there, bring your patience pills. I headed south, trying to set up a troll that would bring me around Burtis point. The floating debris in the water from mid to east side made any kind of a successful troll pretty much a waste of time. I stuck to the west half of the lake and managed to get a few flat lines out for a while, but they produced nothing. I found a few good screens in the lower half of the lake, and connected with one 20" ish laker from 100' on a bright small spoon. All my other attempts came up empty. Anyway, the weather was great, and it beat working ! Rusty
