More days than I like to admit that 

I never had a hit and all I came back to port with was my dick in my hand. 

So sounds to me like you had a pretty good morning 🌞 

OMC outboards are  notorious vdor this 

Check for spark in all cylinders . 

Does it have 3 carbs ? 

Those power packs have a tendency to go . Along with the coils . 

If it runs better cool it probably electrical . 

" ONLY " has  an " abismal"  12 fish on  in a mornings fishing " . 

Wow 

What I am looking for is down speed and temp . I don't care how I get it . I had an X4 and liked it , I have a Cannon Speed and Temp and when it worked I liked it . 

I have read on here problems with Fish Hawk probes . 400$ + replacement . 11Oo for  new unit . 

Depth Raider is 600 , replacement probe 275 . I have heard of no problems with their probes . 

So from a value perspective , the depth raider sounds like the best bang for my fishing buck . 

I have talked to people who have owned both and good things . 

Weather / wind was good for the most part , a lot of fishable days . 

Nice green water where I was 

Marked lots of fish and bait . 

Never took a hit above 50 ft and I think we had around 50 hits . Although I set lines there and moved them deeper . All fish came 50 to 100 ft down . 

So my new to me boat came with a Cannon Speed and Temp . Worked great and now it doesn't . I played with it a while and I'm done with it . 

I had an X4 on my old boat and liked it , $ 1100 new . 

My Cannon Speed and Temp has depth raider technology . It worked , I was happy with it . 550$ new . Half the price . 

I'm torn , any thoughts , and where can I get one ? 

And really , The Oak , Bald Eagle , or Sandy are all good mid lake , mid/early summer ports to fish out of. Can't go wrong with any of 

them IMO . Accomodations might be determining factor . 

Fishing lake wide wasn't great last year . 

I heard Sharon fell and was or still is in the hospital . And that she decided to sell and there will be an auction sometime . Disclaimer, I'm not sure how truthfully any of this is . 

It's very sad . I have been going there since the begining of time . I remember Mr Narburg and that nice old dog . I had many  great discussions about things with Sharon.  I wish her the very best and thank her for serving the fishing community . 

Hopefully the tradition lives on . 

I agree somewhat with Legacy . Set the release at home and grab the line and  pull on it like you think a fish would till it releases hard . Bounce it a little . The strike will set the hook . 

With my trailerable boat my son and I got in and went to Wilson , like, seemingly ,everyone else . 

Opening day we got out early to see an Armada . We started in 60 ft. Nets were flying everywhere . Ours started to also . We wound up that day with 11 salmon , for about 16 hits . Biggest was maybe 16#  no skippers 

Best was a Stinger Stingray NBK parked at 52 ft . 11 o'clock it shut down . 

Went back Sun and did 4 salmon for about 6 hits . It was a tough bite . Never saw a net fly in another boat . East wind /rain finally drove us in . No one spoon did it . 

Following Fri went back .Did 12 salmon I think for about 15 hits . Stingray glo green alwive off rigger was hot till a nice king wrapped the line around the hook and broke off , glo frog mag and 28 were best . Slide divers were  the man after Sun came up . 

Sat we decided to try our old stomping grounds in front of Johnsons Creek from the Oak  .We drove right up there to see one other boat . Then I thought I was back at Wilson with the traffic .  We did 15 I think for about 18 hits , Salmon and some hog Lakers . That green alwive I replaced at rt 18 tackle and   black Lazer glo were best . Around 1130 they turned on and the slide divers took most of the hits . 

In 4 days fishing we did about 4O fish which I am satisfied with . If you are hitting your target species , it's just a matter of getting a big one . My down speed crapped the bed the first day so I only had surface speed the entire derby  . I made it work . Love my slide divers . 

Congratulations to the winners . 

Here are the spoons that did it . 

X2 

Looks like water level has gone up 3" in 3 days 

If I had to guess , that looks like Twin Lakes in Co

This is gov at it " best " 

Just let us shoot the damn things 

I would imagine 

Undermount sinks on granite countertops are attached by silicone only . I have had to remove a few and you would think they were bolted on . 

Sure looked like a shotgun to me . 

And I got a good look 

So I went down to look at a job on Lake Rd about a 1/4 mile east of Pt Breeze . One of those houses on South side of Rd with the lake across the street . 

I hear gunshots . I look out the front door and right across the street there is a DEC  boat about 200 ft off shore with a guy standing up shooting at the cormerants  flying everywhere . 

The lady said this is the first day she saw them .  

Clean  the bottom good with mineral spirits and stick the bilge with silicone  or epoxy . That's what I would do . 

I have been watching the level come up drastically the last month . 

I think it came up 6 " in 2 weeks .

The falls at Driving Park have been roaring lately so the ramp fills in fast.  

 

 

The crew that makes sure the launch is clear  must be the same crew that makes sure the toilets are clean down there 

Man , that brings back memories 

I can still smell the stylus burning the paper . 

They are more worried about being WOKE . 

I have a Controll King 

I like it 

10 k steelhead today at Sandy 

The restart of something great I hope . 

Maybe Kings next year if enough of us get together and raise hell . 

I'm ready for the conversation and action
