final flight

during tourny... north end, east side, at the 80 ft. shelf most hits came on spoons.riggers down58-68,slide divers110-130 setting 5, gps speed 2.0-2.4 good luck rollie

turns out it was a loose hose clamp at the motor, replaced the quick disconect and clamp, kept old one for spare. thanks for the help!!!rollie--

i run a 50 hp. 4 stroke. to feed the beast (ha,ha) a have a 12 gal. remote tank.... start out by pumping the ball till it's hard start the motor run out and fish.3-6 hours later i go to come in and the ball is full of air, motor skips and knocks to let me know it's full of air. pump the ball and it runs fine. how do i solve this problem or is it common with the four strokes??? thanks --rollie

i run a 12 gal. plastic tank to feed a 50 hp. 4 stroke , pump the ball till it gets full, troll for several hours, go to run back to lauch and the fuel line is full of air. were do i look or what do i change to fix this problem?? thanks in advance to all who reply.

gill-t, if you don't want to buy another 20 lb. shark. go to senaca lake..look for 365 fow.. dregde the bottom. i got so mad at the ones (2) that i bought i threw them overboard. never had a mess like that before and i pray i won't ever have another!!!!

pre-fished fri. evening,went two for two--flasher fly took both fish i think? went out sat. set the same spead same gps trail and never moved a rod. headed north (after three hours) and moved to the west side. did a couple on spoons. stinger mags. turned the north corned and hit fish. the biggest being 5 or 6# laker. did a couple small browns on the flat line but nothing worth weighing. totals were 11 for 12 same old song and dance the biggest fish was dropped at the back of the boat.... anyway the guy i was fishing with wanted to go home, so we left at 11:00 pm after loading the boat.

does anyone have the results from oswaco derby, hade to leave early .....

my two pennies worth is as follows...thank-you so very much(law inforcement officers) for doing your job and being concerned for MY freedoms. been checked twice in and around Oswego harbor. these people were very profesional!! on the other hand try dealing with Pa. officers, YOU ARE GUILTY until you prove differant and a bad attitude only makes it worse.

cayuga doesn't blow up as bad as seneca or as fast, with a small boat i can stay out longer or find a flatter area to fish. the blue bubble wasn't made for confort ,esp. in two footers. good fishing to all that are headed to oswaca this weekend,see you on the water ch. 68 south end

the blue bublle will be on cayuga out of meyers.

rr, paint it bright blue, nooo-body follows the blue bubble around!!! untill we start wettin the net!

sfarm...hope you don't expect to touch a rod when were fishing for prize money.. i have seen you try, i repeat try, to use a hand tool. if you don't know righty tighty.. you will never learn which way to turn the little cranky thing.... rollie

scott, i have to admire you for your honesty but did you place in the barney derby??? ---rollie

thank-you ray i'm going to try and get a team in place,but first i''ll have to find a bigggerrr boat. blue bubble does like much over one footers. if i only knew!!!!

what is the differance between pro and am... read alot about the tourny's and really don't know the differance..i am serious about this question

please add your thoughts to the question on ballist in the open lake forum thanks ...rollie ps. smart comments are all welcome

and it is ... i have a 16ft. 1963 lone star aluminuim boat. fully rigged for lake fishing 50hp. four stroke ..... the trouble is it's like fishing from a cork hence the name "blue bubble"... any thoughts on removing the decking and adding several hundred?? pounds to the center line.... top end speed is not a priority so take that out of your thoughts. any and all comments are welcome.

three on each board, two per rigger and a very striaght troll, could be done.. . stink bait for trout??? or maybe hairball bait??? nay just chuck them out the window at 65 mph on the way home

i'll be on the big pond if the waves stay down if not cayuga --rollie (kill the rat practice)

scott does every one on the boat have to be a member i'd love to take the wifes cats for a ride run two poles for each cat that would give me a ten line spread then dispose of the cats on the way home!!! rollie

late start 8:15-- first fish 6.5 lb salmon off the inside board with a smithwick 50/50 2oz. snapwieght

second fish 8 3/4 brownie slide diver 100' back with magnum die-hard (stinger)

third fish 7 lb laker tail gunner 15' back from flasher magnum emerald shinner (stinger)

9:30 everything went down hill, small fish rough water and out of coffee !! water temps were 56-58 surface all in all went 14 for 15 most small salmon on the divers --rollie

mongo see if you can get the regisrations easier to down load tried several time and said heck with this i'll fish on cayuga!!! good luck in the derby keep us posted---rollie

tried to down load an entry form and the system shut me down, guess i'll wait to fish it next year... if they get there act together--rollie

could some one tell me how far it is from sayre Pa. up to canidagua, would like to fish the derby but have never been there. diving directions would be a plus!!! thanks --rollie

great looking family and years ahead to teach the young lad to fish.
