  1. just my 2 cents is to not fish so deep. most fish are suspended above the bottom. do you have any way to determine how deep you're going? one thing you can do is let out an unbaited rig until it's just bumping bottom, then start letting out baited rigs 10' above the bottom and keep bringing them up 10' at a time until you start catching fish. gobies are on the bottom and if you are letting your bottom bouncers down until they hit bottom you're asking for trouble. are you marking fish on your graph? this should tell you what depth the fish are suspended
  2. these reels would be great for running lead core, price drop on the 19p high five to 235 shipped. 9.9 4 stroke Merc price drop 1050.00 plus shipping or pick up in Muncie IN. shipping shouldn't be that much. total would still be a fantastic price for this motor.
  3. I would say the fuel line from the main tank is bad and the inner lining is collapsing stopping the fuel flow.
  4. I also have 4 brand new Zebco 33 reels that are a little dusty for the young kids or the grandkids. 46.00 for all 4 with shipping.
  5. that would also be great on a smaller boat and a 25HP TO A 35HP to set the motor back.
  6. was trolling Erie for eyes when a rod started bouncing some. I started reeling it in and had some resistance but it just never felt right. when I got my harness back to the boat it had a wireline hooked on it. I started pulling the wire in by hand and was rewarded with a nice 4# or 5# eye on a small reef runner looking crankbait. that was a good surprise.
  7. I just thought I have 4 Penn 330 GTI level wind reels with no counters on them. 125.00 each shipped. these are in like new condition. used for grouper fishing in Fl Intracoastal waters in FT Pierce for a week. I'm still looking for items I won't be using anymore.
  8. I will also ship the 9.9 4-stroke strapped to a pallet at your expense.
  9. the apollo prop has sold, thanks.
  10. if the boards are pulling hard and keeping the tow line tight I don't think it's going to get any better unless you go to a larger board.
  11. I also have 2 rotary steering cables in like new or new condition I believe 1 is a 10' the other one is a 12' if anyone is interested contact me and I will measure them for you. 30.00 each with shipping. the price on the 19p high five is 250.00 shipped. panther electric power tilt and trim for your kicker 400.00 plus 50.00 on shipping. in good working condition. a good lower unit for the old inline 6 Mercs from 90 HP TO 150 HP 350.00 plus shipping or pick up in Muncie IN.
  12. adding my 02 9.9 four stroke electric start tiller with the 20" shaft. 1200.00 pick up in Muncie IN. this is an older motor with very little use as I bought it from a guy who bought it for him and his dad to use. A short time later his dad died and he stored the boat and motor. later he sold the boat thinking he would buy another one but after storing the motor for a few years he decided to sell it. it looks much better than other 02 motors. it started up quickly and ran as smoothly as a baby's bottom. I bought it to use as a kicker but ended up using another motor and this one has been stored since I got it.
  13. I have a few things for sale I will never use. an Apollo 22p ss 4 blade prop 140. shipped. SOLD! a high five 19p ss 5 blade prop. ultimate hole shot better handling in rough water. a great all around prop. a 74 150 HP inline 6 Mercury with control box and external electronics to make it run, 200.00 pick up in Muncie IN. 200.00 more and get a good power tilt unit. the lower unit is worth 400.00 or more on eBay. the 150HP was running great when removed from the boat and has been stored for a while now. if it doesn't run I will refund all your money for 30 days. and will pay for return shipping. I may add a few more things later.
  14. a few years ago we were trolling along and saw a charter boat at a distance to our left. knowing a boat on the left is supposed to give way and thinking surely a charter boat would alter his course. then I looked up and he was right on top of us I had to make a hard right turn to miss him. As he goes by he started yelling at us until I yelled back we had the right of way and he had plenty of time to see us and alter his course. once he got by and we stopped and started to untangle all our lines we noticed the boat was filling with water fast. One of his large boards went under our boat hitting the bottom hard and we had to untangle his lead line. at first, I thought maybe he knocked a hole in the boat. but after some quick thinking, I said he had pulled our plug. luckily I always keep a couple of plugs in my boat. my oldest son took one and went overboard. after a couple of minutes, he got it in the hole. for some reason, it was very difficult to get the plug in. Then after a short time, our sump pump failed. we took 5 gallon buckets and 2 liter bottles and got it down where we could make it in.
