  1. Late start to this season, the weather and mechanical issues on the boat held us back. Went down Friday for the shakedown run,out for 2 hours and got a beauty. Would have liked to catch this fish a few months from now. Headed back out sat am tough bite but went 4/4 2 salmon 2 rainbows . Bring on summer ! 20170526_183219_zpsvvbnnp1z.jpg

  2. Only a fraction of the water comes out the pee hole, most of the water exits through the port on the back of the shaft and the exhaust.If there's steam coming out of the pee hole = too hot for sure. Instead of using the temp of the pee hole water, a better way to check that the cooling system is working is you should be able to touch the cylinder head for a couple seconds without burning your hand.

    That's the way I was taught.

  3. any time you boat one on the fist outing of the year, in the first week of April is a bonus - guess I decided to pull up just a little bit too soon? - saw you heading out to PD direction, and we ended our day there. Saw a ton of hooks on the screen but nothing was moving. you must got that right on his schnozola. Sounds like it was your lucky spoon again?

     

    Ha it was a Hail Mary . not what first comes to mind when I think of a brown trout lure , I even said to my dad " check out all the teeth marks" when I put it on.

  4. Nice, I always found a more stealthy approach would catch more Browns, planer boards or further back than 50 feet if behind the boat when flatlining or rigging in shallower water.

    Usually us too, ran planers flatlines and long leads all day with no success. Didn't see a rod move on any boat out there. Sometimes ya just gotta treat em like bass , put the lure infront of their nose and piss them off.

     

    Temps were 38-42. Mostly cooler with tiny pockets of warmer water
