http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=438822 The link I gave you has a large number of salvage yards.Every one of those guys can help you and not just with carburetors. If you want to stay close by, Bill Mayer at Mayers Marina can probably help you.He is on the Webster side of the Irondequoit Bay outlet. His number is 323-1010

It may be as simple as having to trim your prop a bit higher and it may be as bad as having your foam waterlogged making for a very heavy boat. Start by trimming up and checking your bilge pump.Do you have one up front?.Then remove heavy gear from the front end. Also see if you can catch a ride on a similar boat and see how it feels. If none of these things make a difference your foam may be waterlogged.

I caught one of those last year at the mouth of the Gennie and it looked like a striped bass hybrid.

Now there is creative defense! Make sure that there are not enough jurors available and then just keep on refusing the ones that are available. This has a very onerous smell. Shame on Albion and the town justice for not calling up enough jurors!

A slip bobber has the line running right through the center and not on the side of the boober. When you rig your line you first put a light weight bead on the line that is slightly bigger that the hole in the top of the bobber shaft that your line goes through,then the bobber goes on the line after which you can put the hook on. Now above the bead you wind a small piece of thread around the line and make a tight knot around but NOT in your line.If done right you can move this wire up and down your line,but it will be tight enough to stay in place if you don't pull it hard.This is your bobber stopper.I like to use dental floss because the wax really makes it go smoothly through the eyes of your rod.If you want the bait to be fifteen feet below the bobber you just slide the stopper fifteen feet along your line and reel the line along with the knot back on to your reel.The bobber and bead should slide freely along the line. When you cast, the bobber is very close to the hook,but when the line is in the water,the bobber will allow the line to slide through its center until it is stopped by the stopper knot.

The real question is:Will they be in Lake Ontario and will they bite twice as much and will they fight twice as good?

If you want them,Stinger has 15 and 24 pound pancakes.The 24 pounders are $60 a piece.Here is where they sell them. http://www.auroralitestackle.com/stingerdivebomb.htm I used to run the pancakes but the A-Tom-Mik torpedoes run much better than the pancakes.

Happy Birthday Hank. May you reach 120 years of age in good health.

You had better keep that place secret,or some Japanese troller will drop 30 miles of gill net in the area and destroy everything there in the name of profits.

You should get in touch with Cremer. He lives in Horseheads and he has a very mean looking dog. As for making them work.Not a good idea. Not only would you have to do everything they do all over again,you would also have to repair the damage they cause while working and worst of all, they would stake out your property and come back later to take whatever they fancy.

I know that Cuomo likes fishing for striped bass.

You do not have to buy and try.Look at this: http://www.propmd.com/t-propellerexchange.aspx This is only one company that does this,there are many more.Many marinas with service stores will let you try different used propellers until you find what you need.Courtesy obliges you to buy from them as well,even though they are usually a bit more expensive.

Last year I caught a few 30+ inchers in November in the eastern arm close to the eastern shoreline in 14 feet of water on the edge of the weed line with live bait. I presume that it holds big ones. I have no idea if there are any muskies.

It is my feeling that in a few years the urge will be back and a boat will not be far behind. Good luck on your new adventure.

Your wide open throttle rpm should be closer to 4400. Lower rpm at WOT means that your engine is working too hard and cannot get up to the ideal rpm for WOT. The 17 pitch may be a good choice but you can also drop down to a 14 inch with 17 or 19 pitch this will give you less of a hole shot but it will get your rpm up to where it should be. Here is a website that will give you a lot of info about props.When you open it it seems like just advertisement but when you scroll down you will find a sea of information. http://www.propline.com/Propeller-Gener ... _Wheel.pdf

Just got back from Keuka Lake This time I tried something different.Fishing the North end toward Penn Yan I put out the otter boards and in 20/30 feet of water,roughly at the edge of the weed line and over weed islands, I pulled live bait (mooneyes) on 3 colors of leadcore with 30 feet leaders and an 8 inch steel leader at roughly 1 to 2 mph about 50 feet off to the side. I caught nothing spectacular but in 3 hours it gave me 9 pike and 4 bass. Does anybody else here ever troll for pike?

Do you fish at night?

Try this: http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/technical/anchorguide.htm or this: http://www.northstaranchors.com/anchori ... html#fluke

If you plan to fish Rochester,you should count on down currents in the 4 to 5 mph range. After the reports and the tweet pics of the fish finder with the exact GPS location I went out to 16 to 17 north and 33 west to find a loaded screen thinning out and turning blank with 4 to 5 mph down currents going in almost every direction.That switch from southern to western winds this afternoon screwed things up already

It was supposed to start this evening,so I took half a day off and went fishing this afternoon only to witness the first rain showers coming in and the lake filling up with white heads and nasty waves. I'll take my kayak to Owasco Lake tomorrow and see if it is any better there.

On the Iboats website there is a forum about restoring boats.This is usually with lots of pictures,which are taken throughout the process.Every time they tear down a Bayliner there is very clear evidence of extremely sloppy work.where closed cell foam sheets are supposed to be there usually are just a few globs of the stuff and these are often moldy and full of water.Often the stringers or what is left of them are just empty fiberglass skeletons and all the wood inside has rotted away,because of lousy workmanship. The late eighties Bayliners with those nasty Force outboards are called Bilge Liners for a very good reason!

While in the service I did naval demolition and standing orders were to never wear anything highly visible.In spite of that we were accompanied by several barracudas in the 5 to 6 foot range during most of our dives.They were interested in our masks,but they just used to swim along and they never attacked.

You know Vince,business people will always choose the most profitable direction.And when money comes in from a different place,that is where they will go. Like any politician,Palladino is for rent and not for sale.Besides I wonder who owns him.

Hello Mark Well first of all,get yourself a VHF radio and hook it into your GPS.Then sign up for an mmsi number,which you will have to set into your radio.When you push the distress button on your radio,every coast guard station and every boat around will pick up your distress signal together with your exact location from your GPS. Your MMSI number will be part of your broadcast and the Coast Guard will have access to all the info that comes with it (home phone,whom to contact,your name,and so on.).All of this without you having spoken a word. Tomorrow I will ask a Coast Guard officer I know if there is a special texting number for marine emergencies in this area. Get in touch with Anthony ( Pike Hunter),he can probably give you a sea of information. Cornelis.

That must have been in preparation for the attack from Canada.
