  1. I have been very patient on the threads about political issues and I have given some extra latitude here. I will tell you all that you are going to ruin it if you keep with the personal attacks on each other. I have no tolerance for name calling, flaming or baiting. This is a place for you to discuss the issues that are important to you and others with facts, and opinions on your personal view. This is not a place for you to judge others opinions and ridicule there opinions. This is going to force me to either lock posts quickly or start mod Q ing people both actions I don't want to do. We are all intelligent enough to grasp this notion the decision is your alls to make. I will not accept this attitude from here on forward.

  2. The engine is programmed with the parameters for a 50 and to modify the airflow the engine is trying to compensate for the excess air with a program set for less air. This will affect the timing, air flow and fuel mapping any of these parameters pushed to far can ruin the engine. It might take something like a 60 min run at full throttle or it could be something a lot less extreme to ruin your engine. For the minimum gain I would not consider this to be a good path to follow

  3. The casting spoons I am chucking are between 1 and 3 OZ from a 9FT 4 piece surf rod and a diawa lexa reel. The rod is from here http://www.charkbait.com/cs/csrods-Travel-Rods.htm it is called Toro Tamer Surf Explorer 25 to 30 lb conventional.

     

    It fits in my suitcase but can easily be hand carried. I can get it out a good 80 to 100 yards with a shockleader for surf casting and for lesser lures I use a 3 piece breakdown rod with a calcutta 300. Both with 65 lb braid. The best part with the 2 rods is you can make someone elses day when you hand another guest a rod so they can fish too. I also carry 300yds of extra braid because I have been spooled a few times over the years even with the 22lb drag system on the lexa reel.

  4. Casting spoons are your best friend. Second is rattle traps both can be cast behind/along the surf line parallel to shore and ripped back in. I also found mushing up some banana makes a great way to attract baitfish to a sabrinka rig. Most of the locals will be thrilled with tackle as basic as a jig head and a few skirts. I usually bring a dozen lures that I don't fish anymore for one reason or another and hand them out to people who are nice and fishing near me.

  5. I remember one year Joe and I went hunting and we both shot deer. Well normally that isn't an issue but we were hunting in a VW Bug. We put both of them in the back seat with a 8 legs standing up. Talk about getting some funny looks when people looked into the windows. It wasn't that we were hidding the deer it is ther isn't any place to strap a deer on the round body.

  6. I will say Mike does post a great report along with a few other greats.

    The text part is easier to copy and paste in a report and then add the code for the photos and pictures. Some of the code gets hung up in the security filter that protects the site from bad people. We wish it was different but to keep us up and running we make that small sacrifice. I will say though if you do have issues with the code filters and can email a moderator the script we will forward it to IPB and see if they can recommend a change or patch to make it easier in the future.

     

     

    Thanks

  7. Might want to check into a disposable phone available here in the States and just leave a message on your phone with the temp number. More complicated would be to see if you can forward your phone to the new one. I usually leave a message on my phone saying I am unavailable and to email me or skye and use a tablet on WI FI to get messages.

  8. I am sure you will always be on my list of people I am glad I was fortunate enough to meet in life Cliff. Now as far as turbo charging you can always go with an electric fan turbo with a secondary fixed jet in the throat of the carb. Controlled with a vacuum switch and a solenoid.

     

    Good luck me friend

  9. The trend for the bigger boats for big water is outboards. While the motor and drive trains are more expensive the engineeringcosts ,fuel saved and space saved are making them very attractive. We have a police boat that has (4) 300HP on its back to cut off access to Washington D.C. from the river talk about something that is wicked fast.
