What a week of great fishing! Caught our limit of browns every day. The weather wasn't bad either. I was fortunate to get our boat in before the ramp closures. Most of the action was from the shore out to 20ft. The Browns were hitting on just about any color. Even mix between spoons and stick baits. I hope everyone can get out and enjoy the great fishing. Thanks to everyone at Bayside Marina. It's been stressful dealing with the high water I'm sure. But everyone was super friendly and helpful. Can't wait to come back again soon.

chinook35 is right. Their are many seals in the entire outdrive I had the same issue 3 years ago. I started replacing parts one at a time with still finding water in the drive. Finally just had to bite the bullet and have the outdrive rebuilt. I was going to try it myself but as chinook35 said their are special tools to do the job. Their are also some tight tolerances that must be followed for reassembly. I like to do as much as I can myself. But in this case I left it for the pros. No more water issues and it runs great. Goo Luck!

Spin Docs or Paddles

thanks sk8man. I have always fished in the spring. Just what I was taught many years ago. I have been reading a lot of posts this year to maybe take a shot at fishing the late summer or fall next year. I appreciate you going the extra mile and explain things in a little more detail so some of novices can learn a few things. -

Sorry to here about Parker. We lost our Cooper, a male black lab about a year ago. Your right, its sad that they are only part of our lives or a short time. They will live on in our hearts forever. Our vet told us a story about the rainbow bridge. Its the place in heaven where our pets go after they pass on. Its a place where they can run and play and do all their favorite things. They are waiting there until its our time to pass on and reunite with them when we cross the rainbow bridge. For now we can remember them and tell all the great stories and times we had with them. We will see our pals again some day in heaven.

Thanks, I really got the itch to get out there now. This cold and snow has to end soon.

Just refitted my exsisting riggers for bigger weights and mad longer booms.

Is troutman87 still making the torpedo weights? I have not seen anything on them lately. I hear they work well and want to outfit my new riggers with them.

Thanks Brian, I'll give them a call. By the way, I grew up in Lansdale PA and my fishing buddies still live there. See you on the lake.

We rent one of the cabins. You have to rent them online through reserveamerica.com. Only some have heat and ranges for cooking. All have electric and a fridge. No plumbing in the cabins but the rest rooms are kept nice and have showers. Prices and sizes vary. We've been making this trip and staying at the park for over 20 years. For us its a beautiful park and a good deal. To get one of the better cabins with heat you have to make your reservation 9 months in advance of the start date of your trip. The site won't let you make one before that.

Good idea. Thanks.

Anybody in the Fair haven area have a place or know of a place I can park my boat on the trailer for about 5 days? My buddies and I are from southern PA and will be up the first 2 weekends of May. We stay at Fair Haven Beach state park. I'm trying to avoid towing my boat an extra 500 miles.

Hi Everyone' My buddies and I are from PA. We have been fishing up on the lake for over 20 years now. Only one or two weekends a year. We fish out of Fair Haven Beach state park. It took a lot of years but we finally figured a few things out and we have been doing pretty good the last few years. It's been a long winter and we can't wait to get back up on the lake. We'll be up the first weekend in May. Good fishing to all this year.
