Whenever I fish out of Olcot, I make it a point to buy some stuff in the Slippery Sinker and on the way back to Rochester I hit Captains Cove and Narby's.All my trolling rods were bought in Oak Orchard and they all cost less than the big box stores would charge.

Soon enough they will be another sportsy clothing and shoe store, but I did get a few Northern King lures out of there.

There is Fishing and Phishing. Now there is Prophecy and Phrophecy. Vote tomorrow. (or is it phote?)

It always was my understanding that 15-40 is for diesel engines and not for gas engines. Can a Diesel Mechanic (Nick) please explain to me if there is a difference in lubrication needs or whether it has to do with constant rpm?

Sierra will do ,remember that neither Mercury Quicksilver nor Sierra owns a refinery. They just buy from some oil company. For Example,all the walmart Super Tech oil is Pennzoil.

You can buy 25-40 at West Marine and Gander Mountain. Instead you can use straight weight detergent automotive oil SAE 20 in freezing weather, SAE30 (cold weather) or SAE40 for use in areas of 50 degrees and up. The 25 -40 can be used in all temperatures. If your 4.3 has a catalitic converter you should use a syntetic 20W-40 Your purolator filters are fine.Baldwin filters (made in USA) are better. It is not the filtering quality that is different, it is the thickness of the outside wall that makes baldwin preferable. Fram filters have a lesser reputation with stories of filters having collapsed or blown up

So gobies are a blessing after a fashion. The browns love them and the lakers and Atlantics love them while at the same time providing them with the right diet that enables them to succesfully reproduce. Long live the Gobi!

I remember having a 6 footer as a constant companion during diving operations off the Southern Sinai peninsula. Every day when we went down he was there ,never attacking, but very curious!

For all of you who have not drained the water out of your inboard engine. Go do so now,or it might get expensive

Went there today to see what there is to see and I was pleasantly surprised. In the fishing section there are a lot of muskie lures, plenty of trolling gear and a good selection of lures. I was happy to see local lure makers represented. They have Northern King lures! The A-tom-mik products are very well represented and at the same price as our local little guy stores. On the whole not a bad place to go shopping. Oh, did I mention that it was a madhouse?

It is a bit involved. First make very sure that you are ok with making a hole in your boat and where you want it. Then after having checked what is undet the gunwale, you must make some form of reinforcement under the aluminum so it will not start bending around the rodholder. Usually you can do this by putting a 1x5x16(or 12) piece of wood under the gunwale and screwed into it. This will spread the sideways force over a much larger area. Then you must drill a hole at 30 degrees through both aluminum and wood (or a larger straight hole that will accomodate the 30 degree angle). Unless you have the right tools and know what you are doing it can turn into a mess. Another way to do it is by taking a 1/4 inch piece of aluminum (1/4x5x16(or12) instead of the wood. This will allow you to drill a slightly larger but straight hole. Good luck

Field and Stream and ,for that matter, Gander Mountain and Bass Pro are really clothing and shoe stores with a nature motive. They do not offer a large selection of goods that are aimed at salmon trolling or other niche fishing like musky fishing. We will need our local guys to get what we need. Besides,do you really want to pay $14 for an A-Tom-Mik tournament fly at Gander Mountain when you can get it for half the price at your local store?
