Sounds like a Sutton 38 . 

Great spoon 

Zugo`s favorite . 

Or a 71 if you want it real thin . 

Hammered brass and silver . 

Agree 100% 

I have learned that there is an optimum time to fish for all species during the year . 

Got some hog perch this morning and a few of these 

Went out first light till 8 

Saw a lot of bait in 50 ft 

Moved out and fish 50 to 100 

No hits 

I'm done for a while till I see some good reports on here . It's like beating a dead horse.  I Ican't bring myself to target lake trout . 

I don't figure things will get good where I can fish out to 120 max till the lake stratifies . 

Yes, they are great motors when they are running . 

But everything breaks down eventually. 

And these are my experiences with them .

We went thru my friends 70s 60 hp and we would get it running good and it would do just as you described . He finally wound up selling it . 

After that I found out from someone who had the same problems what his fix was . 

The part was like 400$ . 

The OMC outboards of that era are  prone to those issues . I had a 55 Johnson that did the same thing . I would change the coil and it would last a,trip or 2 . 

I think what happens is it runs fine till it gets hot then it shuts down and runs on 1 cylinder . 

It wound up being the spark amplifier or power pack . 

This happened to 3 other motors of that era I know about . 

Question  .. 

Is it running on all cylinders ? 

You are a good man 

I saw three bait fish schools,this morning . Dawn to 8 . 

I ran out to 70 ft and set down in bait and fish . Put them down , rod goes off , drop it , and that was it.  

Not a lot of marks today . 

I may go back to fishing for warm water species . 

Tommy at East Fork Pro did my 1986 OMC  cobra a few years back after 2 sets of point failed in 2 weeks . 

Boat never ran better and I get better gas mileage . 

Yes I judge speed by all that also and have for years ,  but I have been struggling this spring( sounds like most have out my way )  and I doubt what I  am doing when I do . So I  figure for 100$ I can have piece of mind . Maybe 

It makes a difference , maybe it doesn't . 

The thing looks simple enough , maybe I make one . 

A guy I know who lives in Spencerport says the creek behind his house is higher than he has ever seen it  today 

Also Coyote K said Sandy creek behind his house is also very high  Also today . 

Anybody know what's up ? 

Are they draining the canal to try and raise the lake ? 

I have, no speed indicator on my small boat other than my handheld GPS for SOG . I can't get a paddle add on for my depth finder and I'm not going to drop 900$ on a fish hawk . 

Anyone have any experience with the Luhr Jensen manual type indicator for 75$ ? 

First light to 8  this morning 60 to 90 

Nice temp break and scum  line 

Not a great screen but saw a few.Lakers on bottom 

No hits 

They should look into getting the same security software that was used for the last  election . 

There is no way that could EVER  be hacked . Or so we're told . 

First light this morning till 8 

Started close with sticks but no hits 

Switched to spoons and worked my way out . 

Got good surface temp and green water . Maybe its working it's way down our way and the kings won't be far behind . 

Managed  a Laker down 75 and a coho down 30 . Did not Mark any bait and no fish other than the Lakers on bottom.. 

How does it feel to be canceled ? 

Some prominent Dems have said anyone who  supported Trump was not worthy to even hold a job and should be shunned .

And we should be " deprogrammed" . 

So now we are outraged ? Please  spare me .  

What's good for the goose . 

if a Biden voter was on my boat and I  knew it , he probably would regret getting  on board . 

Maybe we get a law saying I have to take them . 

From all the reports on here from out West , I would trailer to Ollcott / Wilson . 

45 min drive from Sandy . 

My son who lives in Cary NC says all the stations around him are out . 

All this over some guys who hacked into the pipeline computer system ? 

It's a good thing those guys went around election time . Or were they ? 

Get ready to be bent over on gas prices. I knew one  way or another the price would go up . 

Nice of you to blend a hand 

But you can buy a cheap one for 10 to 15 $ and put a broom stick on it to make it longer . 

Nice thing to have . 

As you walk out on the big pier , on the bay side from about 100 yards to the main channel is good for warm water species . The corner where you start to walk north is the best spot fishing in the bay . I would think the channel where the swim area is to the small pond would be good because of the warm water . 

After going out deeper yesterday to find cold black water , and seeing my rigger weight down 20 ft and getting skunked I decided to try in close this morning . 

First light I started close to port and ran my trusty Rebels . 

Got this one to take on the edge of the colored water . 

My son can't  have  shellfish so it's poor man shrimp tonight . 

And steelhead . 

For all you panfish guys , I have caught about 100 since Sat . Mostly keeper perch on the smaller size with some good ones mixed in . With a bonus steelhead first cast this morning 

Jigs under a float 

I fished close to port and fished dawn to 8 . 6 to 20 ft , good temp nice color nice mud edge ,no hits for 3 trips doing that . 

I'm done in there . 

I was fishing the creek off my dock yesterday and the in and out current was ripping . 

Sold ! 

Pm me your address 

And time I can come 

If they are 12# I will take them 

Let me know
