1975 Starcraft kingfisher. Poorly treated. Rammed rocks. I’ve trailered it about 60,000km over the years. mid season brake down blues.

I know there are different options. That’s why I’m really thinking. I bought a brand new motor and had a custom trailer made to my spec. I redid this boat about 15 years ago. Trailering has been hard on the boat. If I pull the floor out now I can’t fish anymore this year. But I want to redo the floor and change the layout a bit. I have more faith in new rivits then tightening the old ones. 40 seems like a bit of work though. I doubt a new boat would take the pounding. Don’t you fell safer when you can still see shore. (10 miles).

About 40 rivits and the keel has a crack. I guess about a couple gph. I’m still ok to use it because I have a 750gph pump. But I’m going to stay within 10miles of shore. For sale one gentle used boat pick up on the bottom of the lake. With that many rivits loose I’m worried the boat might brake in half on a wave. the hull has a lot of paint on it. so fill the keel crack with JB weld and paint the rivits again I guess. Any thoughts?

Thanks PT. Not many people land a 12’er in fresh water Wayne. Misfish I get my fun. Terry the bow seat was open for you. Bunk I’m glad I got a chuckle. I don’t get out much. Thanks for the replies boys. I hope you get some fun too.

Went to st Clair. Broke the trolling motor. Then the mount for the fish finder snapped off on a huge wave. Didn’t sink the boat so i made out ok. But now I have to take it easy as I’m down to 1/2 roll of duct tape. I picked a spot about 8 miles out and i started to troll. Got a rip on a talonz slasher. Pulled it in and it has teeth marks. Kept going and got a nice musky. Floating and in the water column weeds made fishing tough Then Ruff water pushed me in. Went back out the next day and down sized the baits. Trolling a good looking spot a rod had straight drag. I fight a big one almost to the boat and the hook pulls out. Never saw it so I guess it was the world record. I had cleared the other rods. ( I stop the boat for any fish that’s not coming right in. ) So I put the bait back in and turn to the next rod and the clicker goes off. Fish on and no other rods out. Nice fight and a spot comes in. I see my net now has a cut in it Sharp teeth I guess. Trolled around for a while and saw a floater (35”) still alive. So I pulled the lures and held it upright for 10min and it swam away. I fished nearby and it didn’t come up again. Thinking the fishing luck should then be with me I trolled around in the boiling heat Until the water was flat and the heat pushed me in. Difficult fishing y

Where can I get a mannequin? I guess I could use my blowup doll but it might be a one fish bait.
-
Are they bitting? Yes.
-
the 34lb might be too much power. Better stick to 30lb. I guess if you can’t get a trolling motor I can tow you out with my boat. You can pay me in fish.
-
You can borrow mine but I’m not sure I want to sell/trade it. As I need it.

So your 55 is already gone?

How’s this years bite on long point Walleye or st Clair Muskie. good year or bad? I need a trip somewhere. Thanks.
-
How big is it?
-
If I put five colours on my reel but only put three out is it ok to have the lead core in the eyes of the rod?
-
Thanks Wayne. They have the exact one I need there.

I’ve got an old Rototiller with a 7hp Tecumseth motor. It started first pull today so I tried to put more gas in and the plastic tank leaks bad. does anyone have any ideas for a tank? I’ll make one if I have to.

And another fishing hole gets fished out.

The two main choices were to do as we have done. Basically nothing in the first months. Or stop the virus from entering the country. what did Taiwan do.

Can you tell Jonnybass I said hi.

It’s more like someone saying they do stuff that doesn’t fit with normal accepted society. Then they double down on it. The hole that’s created is so big they just get buried. Then they move to blaming others for the problems.

Lol. and he had some ideas that many didn’t enjoy. See if you can get his real name and find him on Facebook.
