Hachimo

Hey Mike,

nice work and thanks for the report. 

i’m from Lake ariel,pa. Usually do weekend trips out of mexico state launch. Usually sleep on the boat. I’m on a waiting list for next avaible campsite at salmon country.  I really like the atmosphere there.  Great people and all longterm, diehard fisherman. Do you have a campsite at catfish? Just wondering how the area is there. Heard second hand theres alot of riff raff and partying goin on there With all the rentals and short term residents.  Just in case I can’t get into salmon country next year i may inquire there. 

Nice work.  Impressive box of fish there.  I haven’t been up since beginning of June.  Can’t get time away from work,and to many projects at the house this year.  Thanks for the report good to see some fish comin from mexico area.  

That’s impressive.  I thought i was brave venturing out with my 16ft flat bottom river boat a few years back.  I’m sure is quite the experience pullin salmon in on that boat

Nice work and great report.  Looks like some more satisfied customers

Get it fixed, get it bloody!!

Oh fixed or not its still gonna get bloody! I can still run around 1500-1800rpms before it boogs down and i can troll just fine. Also i just became a member of boat usa so if she dies out there my tow in is covered

My fiance is a mechanic at scranton dodge and I’m a jack of all trades/master of nothin.  Lol.  She knows diesel engines and newer gas engines and i am handy with a wrench so between us we should be able to get this thing figured out. I appreciate all the feedback. Gonna do a full tune up(wires,plugs,rotor,distributor cap) new fuel pump and new fuel filter. I couldn’t get the boat started yeaterday cause the filter was loose and suckin air so after I tightened it up it fired up.  Definetly seems to be a fuel issue.  Thanks again fellas

mine was a bad spark advance 

Bad spark advance? Coil or rotor? What was the fix?

I really appreciate all the feedback.  I asumed all the above.  Boat gotta be runnin 100% for the honeymoon.  Goin out tomarrow for plugs wires distributor cap n rotor.  Along with the dry gas.  Thanks again. 

I was thinkin water in the fuel so before i took it out i drained 5 gallons of gas from bottom of tank and it was pretty good as far as not bein water. 

Sorry should have been more specific.  SBC 350 with volvo penta 275 outdrive

Lookin for a direction to start diagnosing my problem.  I have a 1986 trophy 2460 and my past trip to Lake Ontario in june it felt as if it was boogin down on my way him. So with my honeymoon and a 4 day trip to mexico comin up at the end of august i took it out on lake wallenpaupck to see if it was gonna boog down at high rpm’s.  

It runs great at low rpms/trolling speed but when i speed up to over 1500rpms it starts cutting in and out.  Any ideas where to start? Carburetor cleaning? Distriberator?plugs wires? 

Any ideas would be much appreciated

Coming up near the end of August and staying in Pulaski for a few days. Where is the best spot to launch with a 21ft deep V boat? Willing to travel and pay for a nice launch. 

 

Never been to the area.

 

Thanks!

My fiance and I always launch from mexico with my 25ft Trophy.  Really nice launch.Theres been weekends we bought an overnight pass and tied the boat to dock overnight and slept on it.  Aug25-Aug29 we rented a lakefront cottage to spend our honeymoon salmon fishing.  If your gonna be up there on them dates shot me a PM or gimme a yell on 68 boat name “Northbound”.   I’m more then happy to share information 

Wow.  Nice work.  Thats a nice class of fish.  Photos almost looked photoshopped there so big!  I’ve been considering goin on a charter to expand my knowledge a lilttle.  If i do i know who I’m calling.  

I sent

Nice work. Congrats on the baby. Pretty awesome the wife says get a bigger boat and not sell the boat!  Lol

Great job and Thanks for the report.  Haven't been up in 6 weeks and fishen was tough last trip.  Good to see you guys getting them out of mexico.  How was the fleas out there?

Congrats.  Looks like a great day out there

Near scranton PA

TtT.   Lookin for any offer.  Lol.  

Nice work. Had a rough weekend finding fish around Mexico 

Well another weekend trip in the books.  Saturday i went 2/5 and two were break offs due to equipment failure. I hardly marked but did see some bait pods here and there. I got my first experience with the madness off copper when it gets entangled with 3 dipseys.  That was the end of fishing last night.  Today 0/0. Hardly marked any fish and only seen bait once or twice fished from 5am to 10:00. Seemed like the story with everyone else i spoke to

My hits started when my top speed was around 3mph or more ,

Same with me.  1for 2 so far. good king snapped my braid and one 8lb in 120FOW 70on rigger “NBK” spoon and dipsey was 150 with FF and snapped.  That was a costly one   But i bumpes up my speed and got the two hits. 

I’m running 160 down 80/60 and no action. Really not markin much. 

Thanks for all the replies guys.looks like I’m gonna be doin some moving around to find the fish. I usually keep my radio on 68 and go by hachimo or my name”Northbound”if anyone wants to give me a yell and exchange our findings.
