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.

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 used to catch tons of them in the ponds around Princeton and Holden in Massachusetts ,but then the Ma wildlife people decided that they were over populated and released tiger muskies in those ponds. that finished the white perch off.

Rochester NY closer to home pickerel fishing
rolmops replied to Big fat pike's topic in Musky, Tiger Musky & Pike (ESOX)
I caught 2 going after pike in the north east corner -
It is probably the best place to catch carp in NYS in spring along the Montezuma shore.

When I had my 18 footer Sylvan I stored them on the boat only when fishing in rod holders set up vertical in the bow section. The setup had 10 rods storage capacity,along the seats between the front window and the bow. That way they stayed out of the way. I still do not know why I had to have 8 rods on that boat , but that is a different story.

I would do a compression test and if the compression is good, I would clean out the carb, check the lower unit and if everything checks out ok just keep on using it. A new one is about $2000 . with that in mind you can check out what a rebuild costs and take it from there

I had twin 1957 Johnson 35 hp sea horse engines on my 1957 Herter's 16 footers. (I know, I predate Dinosaurs and I knew young Ole Evinrude when he was a child). I had the splash problem and the tiger tail as well. So I went to Bill Mayer of Mayers Marina in Webster and asked how to solve the problems. He told me that because of water resistance to multiple lower units you can only expect a 35 % increase in power when using twin engines. The splashing and tiger tail problem are solved by trimming the engine a bit farther down which raises the stern a bit and the tiger tail will also become less that way. In addition he told me to have the engines face sideways just a bit so instead of one straight backward water stream you get two more separate streams. He warned me to be very careful with the down trimming because it pushes the bow down a bit and to never make sharp turns because of the engine angles as one of the engines may come out of the water a bit too much. Old Bill used to race boats in the fifties.
