I'm not Zeke. Just taking a ride down for the weigh in to see some friends & put a face with a name for some I haven't met personally. But if Scott has anything to say about it he'll probably ruin my afternoon off & make me look at his boat.

Zeke would a few more Soup Spoons change yer mind? I'll go thu the archives & bring a few down with me tomorrow.

Mills's is actually on Ridge Rd. between Bay Bridge (Alton) & Wolcott.

From what your describing it sounds like a plankton line to me.

You can't go wrong with Interstate.

http://blog.syracuse.com/outdoors/2011/ ... _folo.html Canadian officials sticking with controversial border policy for anglers/boaters on St. Lawrence River Published: Thursday, June 30, 2011, 5:58 AM By David Figura/The Post-Standard The Post-Standard Print Going into one of the busiest weekends of the summer on the St. Lawrence River, Canadian officials have no plans at this point to change or ease enforcement of their existing border policies when it comes to dealing with non-Canadian anglers and other recreational boaters on the river. That point was emphasized Wednesday afternoon by a Canadian customs official at a meeting hosted by the Thousand Islands International Tourism Council held at the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton and attended by select business owners and river charter boat captains. The meeting was held to help clarify the Canadian position in the wake of a controversial May 30 incident during which angler Roy Andersen, of Baldwinsville, who was drifting and fishing in the Gananoque Narrows, was stopped by customers officers and forced to pay $1,000 on the spot to prevent his boat from being seized. Mark Pergunas, chief customs chief at the Thousand Islands bridge, assured those at Wednesday's meeting that despite the Andersen incident, there's no river-wide crackdown or change in the level of enforcement by Canadian custom officials planned, according to Gary DeYoung, director of tourism for the Tourism Council. He provided a list of spots where boaters could call customers, noting phones are available at just about every major marina along the Canadian side. The customs official did note, though, that no stopping to fish or trolling in Canadian waters is allowed unless an angler first checks into a designated Canadian "port of entry" and phones in their presence to Canadian customs officials, DeYoung said. One bait store owner who attended the meeting was unimpressed. He noted, for example, that not every port of entry is open at the time anglers want to fish and that not all are conveniently located as Pergunas inferred. "He's just a messenger doing what he's been told," said Todd Cerow, owner of the Thousand Island Bait Store in Alexandria Bay, who attended the meeting. "It's now up to us to contact our government officials and reps, and to voice our opinion. People on both sides of the river are going to end up losing lots of money because of this." The upcoming weekend traditionally has been a busy one. Friday is Canada Day and Monday is the Fourth of July -- national holidays for both countries. Wednesday's meeting in Clayton did nothing to ease the concern of those Americans who might be out on the water and crossing over to the Canadian side this weekend, Cerow said. Earlier this week, Michael Cusano, of Clay, president of the N.Y. BASS Chapter Federation. announced his group's July 24 fishing tournament out of Massena would limit practice and competitive fishing during the event to the American side. The result is that no Canadian fishing licenses will have to be purchased by the event's expected 160 competitors. Many on the St. Lawrence have been acting for years under the belief that anglers and recreational boaters weren't required to report their presence in Canadian waters on the St. Lawrence unless they anchored or set foot on Canadian soil. The understanding by many was that an angler could drift fish or troll on the Canadian side as long as he or she had a Canadian fishing license. However, a statement from the U.S. State Department days after the May 30 incident confirmed that the Canadian officials were acting within "long-standing regulations" in fining Andersen. They noted all non-Canadian boaters must alert Canadian officials of their presence in Canadian waters. The only exception, according to the State Department, would be a circumstance when boaters are traveling through Canadian waters from one U.S. location to another, without stopping. One Canadian customs official conceded late last week that strict adherence to the law carries "logistical issues," and that for years there's been an "administrative tolerance"; by Canadian officials of those boaters/anglers who didn't report in on the St. Lawrence River. Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh, and U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY, have both written letters to Canadian officials following reports of Andersen's fine. Schumer issued a press release Wednesday that the president of the Canadian Border Service Agency has ordered an investigation into the case. Sean Magers, an aide for Owens, said late Wednesday afternoon the congressman "continues to wait for a response from the Canadian government that resolves this situation in a practical matter for people who boat on the river." He noted there's been "no additional reports of American boaters being stopped on the river beyond Mr. Andersen." "Until this issue is resolved, all boaters need to proceed in the manner they think most appropriate," Magers said.

Vapor lock is a problem that mostly affects gasoline-fueled internal combustion engines. Vapor lock is not caused by a fuel venting problem. But by engine heat and/or temperature in general in the engine compartment vaporizing the fuel before it reaches the carb.. Hard restart & back firing is due to a very lean mixture until the fuel cools enough to return to a liquid state. Normally rerouting the fuel line between the pump & carburetor away from the engine block will cure the issue. The problem will also occur if the engine is running at a higher than normal operating temperature due to thermostat, impeller failure or another issue that would cause it to run on the high side.

I'll 3rd the vapor lock

I stand corrected. Evidently it's been amended since the induction of the pwc safety coarse. At that time we were told by the powers to be that you still had to take the coarse regardless.

USCG Licence will not cover you for a PWC in NYS.
