This morning we left our dock to look for kings, so we went out deep and far. It took a while, but well over 200 fow and between 50 and a 130 down we did find all sorts of goodies. First came a small king off 500 copper which our junior able seaman Chris was gracefully allowed to bring in. This was followed by 2 lakers also out of the basement. the first maybe 7 pounds,while the second one was over 10 pounds. This one did give us a decent fight. Next was a long hiatus which was finally broken by something funny. Captain Lou decided to make a phone call, but before he dialled he said:"Of course when I touch the phone we will get a hit. As soon as the call was answered there was a hit which was another smallish salmon from a hundred foot down on a rigger. We brought it in and the interupted phone was remade resulting in the next fish,this time a steely off a 10 color leadcore. Then there was a bit of a break, so I pulled out my cell phone and dialed a number and yet again a fish answered. another steely, this time a six pounder. Again there was a bit of a break but this time without a phone call the 300 dipsy went of. This one was for real.Chris took the rod and instantly we knew it to be a king. It started by taking well over a hundred feet out and then it made 4 more runs before if was finally netted. He came in at about 24 pounds. We packed up around one in the afternoon after a very nice day on the water. It is my feeling that our "Just Horsing Around" team is turning into a mean lean fishing machine under the able guidance and training of captain Lou. Cornelis

Maybe the trim tab fluid reservoir or the tilt and trim fluid reservoir.

Plenty of great used motors out there and the 4strokes are a no-brainer if you can swing the money. You'll make it back in fuel savings if you fish a lot. I remember running 2 6gal tanks for a day of fishing with our old 9.9 2-stroke. Now it's a few days worth of trips on 5gal. If you are looking new check out Internetoutboards.com an kicker brackets that raise/lower for travel and fishing.d onlineoutboards.com (both the same place). No shipping/no tax and both motors I bought got here in 3days from Tenn. Not trying to push the brand any more than I already have... Just saying they're a great company to deal with and I love both motors.

Go with an 8 or 10 horse longshaft, not so much for speed,but it will help keep you on course with strong side winds as islanders are high on the water. As for cables for remote control,you have a problem. Because of the high transom your kicker top will be below the top of the transom. This means that the cables will have to curve at very stiff angles and when you raise the kicker the cables will press against the stern. You can solve this by drilling a hole in the transom and let the cables go through the hole thereby allowing the space inside of the transom to come into play or, by getting either wireless remote control or electric control speed adjustment.For steering, get an EZ steer. Tiller is useless, but any tiller can be made into a remote. Good luck,Cornelis

It does not sound like your carbs are the problem. My guess is fuel supply. Check your fuel filter at the pump and the pump itself. To check this, run your engine and start playing with the choke (fuel enrichener). If you pick up more speed while choking you can be sure that the problem is not your carburetor.

I wish him strength and all the best

You would have won the Atommik Challenge

We had a great time fishing the Challenge. We went north out of the Little Salmon,19 miles north to look for brown trout and we were lucky to find them. We ended with a nice box ,6 browns and weighed in with 34 pounds and change. It was not good enough to be in the money , but just fishing today and witnessing the great atmosphere in the tent during and after weigh in made everybody a winner. Thank you Tom for organizing this fisherman's community event. You made a lot of people happy today!! Cornelis.

That goes against the grain of everything America stands for ,and quite frankly, it reeks of fascism

There is something about the moon and its connection to the time of day when fish bite. Sometimes it is in the middle of the day .

That is really where you save fuel. By running your engine at 2/3s of its capacity your fuel consumption goes way down per mile traveled.

There is a technical problem with the tweets talking to our website and people are working to get it back to how it is supposed to be. One of these people called it a problem with the API. I have no idea who mister API is ,but somebody is straightening him out and we should get the tweets back before too long

The yamaha 150 has a WOT range that is between 5000 and 6000 rpm. so in theory you can go up a 1000 RPMs. that would mean going from 17 to 12 pitch. But Stainless has less relative water resistance than Aluminum. So it is a good idea to slightly increase your propeller size and go down a bit less in pitch. If you have an F150 you should look into a 15x14.87 stainless, if it is a regular you are better of with 15x14.37. these are Mitchel Appollo stainless props.

Did the instant report tweets dry up ? The last one I can get on my computer is from June 11. Is it my super sensitive fire wall or did people stop tweeting? Oops,never mind I just read the reason why,it's called API

Almost the only thing that Force motors and Mercury outboards have in common is Factory ownership. The Force is older Chrysler technology with added parts of older mercury technology. The Chrysler parts are great, the Mercury parts not so much. The best way to to enjoy this engine is by running it on a 40:1 mix. That way you pre-empt a lot of the problems that this Mercury step child may cause you.

I have a hard time understanding why either a mate or a captain should be dependent on customer's moods to get proper pay for a hard day's work. They deserve a decent income without being dependent on somebody's good or bad moods. The tipping system makes it possible for the captain to pay his mate less than minimum wages and also encourages tax evasion. Neither is a good thing. I would suggest that the price for a charter includes all expenses accompanied by a receipt. If on top of that you wish to give a tip you are more than welcome to do so, but nobody's income should depend on it. Cornelis.

For the past few weeks every time we go fishing we find huge schools of bait, but hardly any salmon at all and even the brown trout in Mexico Bay seems to be a rare species.Only the lakers seem to be willing takers. Does anybody have an idea or theory or opinion about this dismal fishing these past few weeks and when if at all it should get better?
