  1. My sister in law in DC said a guy got arrested to day in McLean Viginia for pumping gas without a mask . Law says we have to wear a seat belt or helmet on a motorcycle . It won't stop you from dying , but it will help .
  2. Just got back from Wegmans. My wife has been bugging me to wear a mask and I don't want to but caved in to her . Virtually everyone in there had a mask .
  3. I feel once the hoses have been compromised by ethanol , they will continue to break down . So I would replace all hoses from tank to carb . It's an 84 so it might be time anyway .
  4. Also the fuel pump diaphragm can disintegrate causing the same problems .
  5. I have an 86 Merc . I had a lot of carb issues with it . I put ethanol gas before we knew we should not use it . It disintegrated the hoses and tiny pieces got in the jets . Gas was dripping from the bottom of the carb . I had it rebuilt by Bruce and it ran great . It happened about 5 more times after that as I think particles were in the lines . I had the carb off that many times to clean it out . I would spray WD 40 into the carb and dump it out on a paper towel and find small sand grain size pieces of plastic . I finally put a small fuel filter just ahead of the carb and one see thru on the tank fuel line . Problem solved .
  6. My brother who is influential in Orleans county said he has pushed to keep the county boat launch open in a text to me today . He also said that the state has not closed theirs yet and they are waiting to be instructed as to when to close the county launch . The way I see it , the longer this goes , the less of a chance for it to close . So cross your fingers .
  7. Atomic T 41 behind a double crush glow white Spin Dr .
  8. Maybe it's time for all of the guys who travel to get back to their fishing roots and fish In their local waters . I'm quite sure their is some sort of fishing for stream trout or sunfish close by . Wet a line and appreciate the fact you are healthy and can at least go
  9. Don't be fooled With politicians, especially at high levels , everything is political .
  10. I know that the guidelines in place are probably working . Here is my question When we are told it is safe to come out , if there is no vaccine , I still have just as much of a chance to get the virus , correct ? It's not like it's just going to go away . So in reality we are not safer , just prolonging what may be the inevitable . If that is the case , then this must be being done so that the health care system won't be overrun . But I think we were told that .
  11. I dumped my boats at Sandy yesterday mid day . A boarder guy drove up and parked , watched me launch , and left .
  12. I'm not blaming anyone . And what is being done is probably necessary to some degree . But look at the results of what is being implemented now . Looks a little like what you see in socialist or communistic nations.
  13. So for all you Bernie or Van Jones fans , here is a small taste of how it will go in a socialist , or communistic gov . Told what you can and can't do , where you can go . A good portion of the population dependent on the Gov for their next paycheck . Hard to get food / etc. Lots of fun , ain't it .
  14. Only takes 5 min to close them . I figure all of a sudden , the gates will be chained . IMO it's a matter of time , just like the high water .
  15. Just got off the phone with someone influential who told me that all the boat launches will be closed soon . Said they got a call from the state to close down and Gov said to shut them down . Orleans county was fighting to keep them open but were told to shut them down .
  16. Is Sandy open ? Was going to dump my small boat tommorow .
  17. Someone lost a,very nice and expensive net . I would guess a bass guy . I found one a few years back and put it on here . And it got back to its rightful owner And get this . I saw what I think was the cowl off a Honda outboard today in the weeds about 1 mile or so south of the thruway int the northbound lane of 390 .
  18. It can't be yours That thing ain't big enough for the fish you catch And you drove right by it and kept going
  19. Let the lure out 20 ft +_ , hook it to the release , put the rod in the holder, let it down to where the bait or fish are, set the drag ,drive the boat . Can't get much more simple than that. Need a speed gauge ? A cheap version of that is the same lure you are running on a spare rod , hang it over the side and look at it .
  20. What pray tell is this " Gary D rig " of which you speak ? Is there such a thing and what does it do ?
  21. Today around 11 around Cow sucker in the east bound lane of the Parkway ? Probably coming home from Sandy .
  22. Family first The fish will all ways be there My boat is just like your .Great multi species boat You are going to love it . Take the time to set it up right and take care of it .
  23. I saw some cannon manuals on here with no bases . Get the riggers , master using them and add to your spread .
  24. Oh yeah , and I forgot this part . Important . I fish alone most of the time small boat. On the strike , if it's a good fish , and fall it all ways is , I leave the rod in the holder , pop the other rod and reel it in as fast as I can ,put the boat in neutral and play the fish out not being dragged by the boat . Usually around 5 min to land . After I land the fish and get organized I point the bow into the wind or current and head straight back to my weigh point . I can't tell you how many times I have had a hit before I got the second rod set . When I fish my big boat , sometimes it takes me a half hour to get back to my weigh point .
