    There is not a whole lot of room under that bridge make sure to keep your antenna and fishing rods down as you go underneath and stick to the west side of the channel after you have gone underneath. The east side always seems to fill up with sand.

    I agree with L&M. Because not all primer bulbs are made of the same quality. I find that specially in colder weather the primer bulbs get hard and not so good in pumping fuel over longer distances specially when they have to suck the fuel up to over the transom from a tank on the floor of the boat. I solved this problem by inserting two primer bulbs for the kicker. One about a foot past the water seperator on the bottom of the boat and the other on top of the transom where it is easily reached. Sometimes when the one on top of the transom does not get the fuel up I just lift up the doghouse and pump the other primer bulb. It always solves the fuel supply problem.

    That rain sensor comes in handy for the run of the mill late and drunk driving hick because it activates the wipers and helps remove puke from the window

    Going through my drawers I came upon an owners manual and a service manual for a 1973 2hp "Mate 2hp model 2302". in good shape for a 49 year old manual. And an original parts manual for a 1959 35 horse Johnson If anybody is interested, I'll let each go for $10 dollars a piece, you pay postage

    Been there done that. I solved the problem by checking flea markets and ebay. There are always some old rods with good guides. You can also replace the whole setup with carboloid (carbide) guides as Gator suggests, those are way better than what you have got on that ugly stick.

    Oil leak?

    rolmops replied to Bad Habit's topic in This Old Boat

    Looks like badly burned fuel to me. But just to make sure, check your lower unit oil level and color. if it is milky or really low, you may have a problem there. More likely though you need some carburetor fine tuning.

    No gas was ever pumped through the keystone pipeline because it was never finished. Besides the keystone pipeline was planned in order to pump Canadian shale oil to the refineries in the southern states with the intention of exporting it. If you want to point a finger at somebody you should point it at the oil companies who are as we speak exporting oil and gas to their clients abroad. Besides, if you look just a bit farther than your interest in hobbies, you might discover that Russia's Putin is attacking a country where many Americans have roots and family. So maybe we should swallow that hike in oil prices and see it as a way to support the war effort for freedom.

    Jimsky, The windmills that you are fighting are a lot bigger than the ones that Don Quichotte fought..... Sometime you just have to face the reality that there are not so many open water sport fisherman and our economic impact is miniscule. It sucks,but it is.

    So I’m just daydreaming about lures and the kevorkian popped up in my head. Does anybody have a picture? Not the doctor, but the lure.

    I run my weighted steel on convectors as well. Make sure that you have line counter reels. That way you have more depth control.

    If I were a landowner in that area I would absolutely refuse this offer. It takes away all rights the landowner has to remove unwanted characters. It would be a better idea to allow a few select fishermen to come and fish possibly for a fee. That way the owner has a choice as to who can fish on his land and he will know who littered and he can charge a cleanup fee. I mean , if there is a big rich company on the salmon river that does that, so can you.

    Off Rochester they stage in and around 200 feet north west of the river when the kings start moving into the river, usually mid September.

    The country you think about is England. There is some dukedom there that as a tribute has to supply the crown with 2 stones weight of lamprey as a tribute once a year. (A stone is the weight of a balistra stone-12 pounds).

    There was a comment on slimers that accidentally was placed in a different thread. Here it is: srd 6 125 Location sparrowbush,ny. Home Port Fair Haven Boat Name Anchor Management Posted 9 hours ago I read a piece one time that in another country don't remember which country it was but they make pies and cakes from them.

    So do they taste like sticky slime? I think I would like gamblers opinion on the subject

    I'll be very happy to drive 100 miles to reconnect and see and greet all the good people of Elosta. I don't really have much that I want to sell or buy given the little fishing that I have been able to do. The one thing I really enjoyed at the last "picnic" ( it was hamstrung by all the limitations that the pandemic caused) was the total lack of political back and forth and the pleasant atmosphere because of it. Where else in this world can you go to a public gathering and have a beer dispenser at your finger tips? If my wife's health situation will allow me I will be there. If possible I will combine it with a great meal in the Eishaus restaurant to make it an even better day. See you guys there!! I would love some info about possible raffles and potential prices or donations to different causes so I can be prepared.

    Sorry guys, I left something out. It is only the 19 strand torpedo wire that has the above mentioned sinking capability , the 7 strand has a rougher surface and will not sink at that rate.
  23. rolmops
    No you don't Every hundred feet of weighted steel wire gets you 20 feet down, If you have a good line counter you can for instance go 50 feet out and be only 10 feet down. Normally the weighted wire is sold in 200 and 300 feet lengths. It is true that the sinking rate of regular torpedo wire THAT IS LET OUT BEHIND WEIGHTED STEEL, has the same sinking rate as the weighted line. So if you want to fish 80 feet down you can let 200 weighted and 200 regular torpedo wire out and be at 80 feet down. I much prefer the weighted steel wire because it does not create the nasty birds nests that copper does. It also catches more fish, because not having to mess around with the famous nasty copper birds nests allows you to have your line in the water instead of the back of the boat.

    I think that the guy who sells it in North America is from Canada. I think he lives towards London. https://torpedodivers.com is the company that sells it.
