what has the thermostat got to do with water coming out of the pee hole? the water coming out of the pee hole is just a bypass to show you have water pumping to the motor. the water out of the pee hole has nothing to do with the thermostat being open or closed. it is supposed to flow as soon as the motor starts or a few seconds after while the motor is still cold. the water out the pee hole has nothing whatsoever to do with the thermostat.

True , mud bugs was in my kickers water pee hose this summer also blew out with air compressor then I check bilge pump holes that was also plugged with mud and leaves and whatever the bugs drag down bilge pump line.

Hey, what colors were you running? any help would be great for this newbie

UV watermelon with a white spinning glow green frog and a green spinning glow that was the cowbells and spin and glows, spoons Reds Orange gold. 

Had the same results today from Dean's rainbows and more rainbows had a big surprise today though most of them came on cowbells and spinning glows . Lakers are always in the mix.

Yeah congrats it is a beautiful fish for the Finger Lakes I wouldn't mind my boat scoring a fish like that

Black nickel it should be

I fished Steph green rods, Dipsy divers, Lead Core, copper didn't even put the downers on the boat this year. I like the Elmer Hinckley spoons 666 all silver all gold the silver copper the plating wears off the cup of the spoon nickel has faded but still produces the silver copper with the worn out  plating on the cup has not produce at all the original question when's it time for a change I don't know been running that spoon all season I still got my fingers crossed 😂 

I just looked on the LOC Derby Leaderboard two fish is all no salmon I said it must have been pretty rough on the lake this weekend. Don't ever recall seeing the leaderboard with only two fish on it in 3 days.. 

That is the coolest Tackle box I ever seen 👍

I would stay at Port Ontario Hotel or Selkirk State Park filled or top off my boat everyday during the two week time I would stay up there at the r&r1 stop during the fall Derby. Here is the number so you can call them to find out the answer to your question.315 298 2185. 

Springs clips is the name I use Roy's Marina on Seneca Lake Suttons in Naples

If still looking have 4 with tires not much tread left .

So it's pretty embarrassing when one of your friends hears about how your weights were stolen off your boat and then walks back to your bait well and pulls them out. Which causes you to suddenly remember your bright idea to put them there. Oh the pain. I am hoping that you actually can fix stupid.

Lol 😂,  I do crap like that , oh yeah that's where I put them . For me i blame age .

With time running out please join me sending your prayers to the occupants and their families of the submersible. Prayers to Canada and the United States Coast Guard Rescuers Godspeed.

If anyone is missing or knows someone missing a canoe. I found one half submerged on a rock in Oswego. Still floats no leaks. Would like to see it back to owner. I don’t do social media so this all I could think of. Tell me type color also has serial numbers still. Appears to have been a drift for quite sometime. Thanks 

I think you should report it to the police but that's up to you.  could be a persom missing in the lake. 

Nice brown congrats love the line no secrets here still laughing.....👍👍👍

Upper water column sunny days I like bright UV colors thermocline and below bottom  fog green, Gobi, white /green , orange / gold. Running deep vibration from from any spoon works in my opinion. When trying to catch fish I keep changing the spoons out. Let the fish say what they want .

Fishing the Finger Lakes I became very lazy put five Spoons on a seth  green rod what happens happens if you don't happen oh well try again the next time .

Any time my friend.  Next time don't need to throw gas money in the back of my truck as I'm driving off. Lmao

Did tune up on i/o and kicker . Kicker got the normal maintenance oil lower unit change and had to tear down the carb and put a new carb kit in it . I/o got the normal maintenance also plus after 12 years did a tune up on it cap rotor wires plugs. Boat run very well started much easier.  Kicker ran well too . 

 Fished 7 to 11 am fished deep water ( 120 - 170  didn't even look in the skinny water . Had seth greens Dipsy divers and in line planer boards out . Steady slow pick of Lakers.  Had 1 double every rod rod out hook a hit only miss 1 fish that was on the inline planer . Water temp was 42 to 47 .speed was 1.6 to 2.1. Lakers had bunch of fight in them . Back at the dock meet the Dec for a survey talked with the gentleman for a few minutes about Seneca and Cayuga nice guy. Can't wait to go again . Colder weather coming next week 🤦 spoiled after this week .. 0

Being it was such a beautiful day I decided to start to get ready for the upcoming season. Picked up a carburetor kit last fall my Kicker wasn't running the greatest seem to be running out of fuel. Took a bunch of pictures before I started and as I was taking it apart seem to go pretty good slow and easy couple hours worth of work not bad I've had this motor for a while never took the cab off it I guess this is what I get for running ethanol gas through it.it was stabilize ran out of gas before put up for the winter. Cleaned and put back together

Thanks for the tips.   All I ever knew was gut, then and clean them ASAP and get them on ice.

Now I can relate...When I was a volunteer Deputy Game Warden in New Jersey, I would get the nasty calls to pick up a hit deer or two in highway crashes. Some times they were not yet dead and pumped adrenaline in their system and the meat would taste like skunk road -kill. LOL  So..do you guys filet the fish on board and just bring home the fillets?

Thanks 'Speedy"

You're not supposed to filet out on the boat for identification and size purpose but I have you're supposed to bleed them out gut and Gill put on ice. some bleed out fillet fish leaving  the skin on then on ice supposed to be offshore to do so. 

For me I only eat fresh  salmon from Lake Ontario wouldn't touch a Laker. Fish doesn't freeze good in my book. Finger Lakes fish I eat fresh on the grill soy sauce brown sugar marinade Italian dressing marinade the rest gets turned into dog food good for 3 days and any left from dog food made over the 3 days gets thron out

 What you have from the freezer I would dump out . 

So what do the Republicans think here?
Should trump run again ?
Don't know who will be running against trump in the primary have wait and see .
If it's Ron DeSantis or Mike Pence they will have my vote.
Dump the Trump run with the Ronald.
