Motor worked just fine, and your bud is a1 on my list. But hes making the town run next time

Yes another one

Another pic

Saturday both I and albert headed off to long point, first for a fill of perch and some piking My heart was set on pike, but I wasnt the captain JK hthm We were on the perch like there was no tomorow, double headers and lots of followers. I did manage to nail a few jumbos, but we mainly kept catching the little guys. Towards the end of the day, I decided to cast for pike while albert was committed to perching. Within 5 casts I caught one, nothing special, but it counts We caught a few rockies, a ton of perch, one oos bass, and a hammer handle Another little surprise that showed up was our own ofner Dan B, Always nice to him Sunday rolled around and over a pm , my good friend spincast asked me for a day out on lake O, I couldnt resist. I snapped the shackles and off we went. Starting off trolling in the ussual spots ,we headed deeper and deeper and deeper This was odd, we were marking them but with no interest of inhailing the georgeous lures we had We had two lines that went off, but on the other end, their mouths must have softened up Oh well its was a great and relaxing day out with another good freind The bonus after I got home was that I installed the starter in my boat, tinkered with a few other things and my engine finally purred like a kitten We will see what day 3 will bring me while out on the water

An added measure I did with the marine plywood I installed in my boat. Was that I coated the plywood with fiberglass resin for extra protection. Solid as a rock.

I will take a pic of it shortly.

Ok, for the techs, I have another question for you guys. When I replaced my started, the #s on the old one matched up at the auto supply shop and they had one in stock . Great I took it and cheap, not thinking at the time, that some put an automotive one in . Now here is where it gets interesting. I pulled the 2yr old starter out an the housing is cracked, great, no problem! So I googled my engine for a starter # Then I went to double check the teeth on the gear. On most sites the advertised an 11 tooth but I counted mine its a 9 tooth Could this have caused it to crack? I dont have the formula in front of me and I know I have counted the ring gear teeth and wrote it down somewhere, just in case 3 yrs ago. From what I do recall the serial # starts with a 3. Which makes it an earliar model engine. For about a decade that engine uses the same starter. One short and one long bolt. Thanks in advance V

Ijust filled up this morning.

Nice shots Joey No pie plate for this fella

Awesome report Dan I couldnt resist to take the pic The kids will grow up to be great fishermen, in sure

If you can find the clouds of baitfish on your ff, them Im sure that are there. But in all my years of fishing there, my pb is 9 lbs. But that was many moons ago. Ive caught a few others as well much smaller. But there is plenty food for them. So your chances are slim as to catching one. There a lots of decent size bass and crappy in there as well. My biggest thing is, is that the park doesnt open early enough. Heres a ff pic that fustrated me for a while one day last year

Happy Birthday Lloyd

I will see about the one inquiry you asked about Trailer modification wise.

So there you go Skinny, your tinner runs fine and gets up to speed without any hesitation. And it trolls nicely and steady at the target speed I was looking for Why mess up a good thing. If your looking for more speed, then a prop change up would be ideal. But then again you would be up a little in the trolling speed. Leave it as it is, its not a race boat My boat with gear and two people, 40 mph. But I only want 30mph for the engines sake.

My condolences to you and your family

24 mph and Im not sure if Tim had the throttle wide open. My old 40 gale soverign outboard was about the same in the glass boat i had.

If its any help, ive fished with a dora, and a barbie rod. And seeing a fish on the other end for the kids see is They were too scared to hurt the little fishy

Maybe mate in a week, or maybe he was a weak mate You started it Terry And heres skinnys Another really hungry fellar

hopefully this helps, not the best pic. But everyone with there sonars mistaken them for perch on their screens and thought the line bumps were hits Mind you there were perch in the vacinity laying very low Thats why I like my aquaview

For GMAN Dad has taught you too well WTG Bro, keep it up and dads going snoozing while you catch all the fishies

Shad then

In time you find out, why stress about it? You were on fire today

Nope, much closer to your neck of the woods I always thought that they were called alewifes because of the annoyance while fishing.

The hole is 10 inchs,that will give you an indication of its size. Other than that to settle differences on what we call this little critter, I say alewife because they can be annoying at times

Well Dan,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I say he can have his man card this time
