Good topic ; with good compression you still have a good engine !

Keep it simple ! We thought it was the carbs [ similar problem on a 70 hp OMC { outboardmarine CRAP } ] ; took all afternoon to do carbs , got late dark , started the engine same problem . THERE IT WAS ! SPARKS ! The ground wire nut behind the powerpack had backed of enough for intermittent contact ! Before you give up clean all contacts then apply dielectric grease . I also ran a separate ground wire [ like on my 77 Vette ] .

If that works my birthday is March 03 LOL !

# 1 Get the marine forecast !

#2 You want full sun and little wind [ prefer light south / west ] . As previously posted you may be out alone ; no fish is worth taking risks .

.

IMO chinook salmon !

 You are lucky that it was all ! have had worse ; leave it !

Thank you for closure ! Hopefully lessons are learned ! I have been out in Lake Ontario solo many times since 1984 and feel safer than on the Queen E. highway but I take NO risks !

Famous quote " don't go away mad ; just go away ! "

Thks Fishstix that is probably the bottom line [ ie try and replace it ] !

Tks HB2 for response   Not sure pic would help , crack goes through latter side of reel were handle attaches .

Can the crack be fixed ?

Ditto on " shut it down ! " Everyone who had an opinion has had their say !

#5 flo/white with black ladderback J-Plug has worked also !

S#5004-004-0760  Made in USA [ glad something still is ! ] Original J-Plug Fickle Pickle ..Sorry the bite can change every day !

I will try with picture later ; got mine a Peter's Tackle St Catharines may be some left : Call Angela at her store .

" FICKEL PICKLE " #4 with ratel took the only KS on Sept 03 !

Ditto for us on south Canadian side not great !

" FICKLE PICKLE " with rattle # 4 J-Plug put newbie #5 in the StCG&F summer derby on Aug 29 in the Laker category [ silver with a lot of chartreuse paint ! ]. The #5 flo white with black ladder back also works this year . Zilch with Lymans !

Good post Frogger ! Could not agree more !

I’m going to agree. Even if a person wanted to go out in that type of dangerous condition and put the risk to only themselves and not endangering anyone else, you still have people that have to put themselves in danger for having to go out and rescue them. We have to remember that. They have families and loved ones as well.
As a side note, I also respect all of the LOU members as this is an elite group, we just have to realize people show emotions in different ways. Social media doesn’t help with showing that. Nobody wanted to see this and I’m sure all are sadden like me, as we all have a skin in this game, that a fellow fisherman lost his life and another had to be a part of it. As others mentioned, if we can pull out a learning lesson from this as they go through the findings, we can help prevent future catastrophes. Whether behavioral or mechanical. My sincere condolences to the families affected by this.

Ditto : We were out that AM I would not go further than 120 FOW : With a strong offshore blow the further out the meaner the lake ! and the harder coming back ! Hopefully outhers can learn from this event !

" No fish is worth dying for ! "

Great topic ! The captain wants to get as many fish in the boat as possible ie he is the expert for salmon fishing that day ! " not very satisfying" ? you cannot please everyone so do not even try !

I will only buy Humminbird !

Mea culpa ; just checked the board at the StCG&F  summer derby : leading rainbows are only 12+ lbs ie small !

ps. I did not have that colour !

IMO it is a TOM MAC from the west coast from the 1980s  ; never did much for me but I have that colour !
