At the Catt. the hanover launch has the docks in , you can launch at the state launch but no docks were in as of Tues. am.. You can also launch at the SBH. near Dugs Dive. I fished Tues. am straight out in front of the catt. & off evengola wall, 53-63 fow. good luck!

great video ,nice pics. Just wondering what is the remote control with the wire on it for ??

Reverse the rope end for end or keep the good part & tie something else into the end nearest the rigger cable . I tied in some planner line (4-6") at the cable end & its been working great for a couple yrs. just my $.02

Thanks for the info. it's together & working again, !

It can happen to the best of us. I had a buddie that threw a wheel chock under his front tire as soon as he got out to load & unload his boat. The boat was heavier than the car. The chock had a rope on it so when he drove from the ramp he would grab the rope & drag it with him until he got to level ground, that was always good for a laugh or 2 !! I also saw boats come off the trailers before they got to the water, that cost big bucks in repairs ! I don't unhook until the motor is over/in the water.

Apparently the water tube is the problem, I have had the lower unit off & on 50 times & can't get it to line up, pian in my a$$ ! Its a 20" long copper tube with alot of slop in it. Can't hold it in place the last 2".

We use to take a case of beer & go down and sit by the launch on Memorial Day just to watch the first timers . Saw a car go into the water up to the windshield. The guy left the car in rev. Saw another guy with a cig. boat & matching truck all color matched yelling at the cute blonde he called a dumb bi%#h because the boat would not come off the trailer, he (mocho man) forgot to take the back tie down straps off ! We had a lot of laughs.

Great bunch of fish guys, real fun !

Thanks guys.

I used it last week and it worked. I noticed it didn't work rite away but after a minute it started . but thats why I changed it , it normanly works as soon as it starts.

Just put a new waterpump impeller in a 50 hp mercury o/b. (1985) It was peeing before I changed the impeller & now it does not. Any ideas why? The old one came out in one peice, fins were just was set one way. I tried the new one with the fins going both ways & still no pee. Thanks for any ideas!

thanks Jimski

Great info. Jimski, thanks you covered it all! We did 30 on Sat. very foggy . A couple of boats did over 100 they said. We were close ,but like you said we didn't over step their area. It amazes me how you can be so close & still get so few fish at times when the next boat is killing them! lol Jimski do you just freeze the minows or do you salt them first ? I fine that they get soft & mushy when I freeze them ? Thanks.

FYI , perch are being caught in front of Sturg. pt. 53 - 57 fow. I will be there in the am.!

Great buck, nice mount! congrats.

I always used auto. filters . I figured by changing them on a regular basis it didn't matter. New oil & new filters. I do the same with my lawn tractor & generator.

I notice the "swamp people" have the Tohatsu motors on some of their boats, If that says anything. lol

Trial & error. plus placement.

Friend of mine went out of Sturgeon Pt. Friday. He had no problem getting over the sand bar at the enterance. He marked lots of fish suspended but no takers for perch. Fished 20' - 62' fow.

I had the same question here without much response awhile ago. I might put some on also. For what it's worth I thuoght the Lenco electric are nice because you don't have to mess with the hydraulic pump & oil and they say the electric are faster to respond when useing. I have looked at both web sites. My buddy has the lenco's on his 20' Key West & they work great. Jmo. good luck.

3 Friends of mine use to fish lake erie in a 12' with a 10 hp out a few miles. (nuts imo) Also look on u tube for homemade canoe stableizers some good ideas there.

I never said that ,I was just giving info. incase you didn't know, sorry nothing meant by it ! Like I said I am not the worlds best typist/speller.

Anybody been out of sturgeon pt lately ? How is it getting over the sand bar? Could the Sm. boat harbor ramp be used without being ticketed now ? Thanks for any info.

Captain, thanks for doing the explanation. I don't do the copy, cut, paste, glue ,whatever thing. And my spelling and typing are worse. Takes for ever. Tbromund, if you google any of the bills #'s all their info. will come up most times. Just a little tip. thanks

Check out this bill & let your congressman know to support this bill, HR 4089, it is a WIN WIN for all sportsmen.
