    No, the oil will not separate from the gas. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Yes currents can be very strong. However, pancakes are very fragile. Any distortion to that fin or the eye can cause them to not track straight. I'd suspect the later. Tom B. (LongLine)

    I agree that taking pictures before you disassembly any thing is a BIG help. However that sounds like spilt milk. What I'd do in this case is go to Iboats.com and ask there, in the mercury section. There's probably 20 guys there that can guide you through it blindfolded. Tom B. (LongLine)

    I think you're worried about staining...(?) algae etc. I'm sure there are products out there but I don't know of any. Tom B. (LongLine)

    I run a 14.4# homemade "missle" on my uni with a probe & haven't had any issues. You will get some exercise when pulling it up from 120 though. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Bottom line long with rod on the inside (straight back), Top line shorter and pointer outward. 7-10 ft separation is how I run them. Tom B. (LongLine)

    For speed over ground just drop the word "surface" that starts the sentence and start the sentence with "speed." Teenager - Salmon 13-19 Lbs but not sexually mature. Generally 2 yr old. Mature - Salmon in 3 or 4 yr class ready to spawn this year. Generally 20+ Lbs Inside - Location on the water shallower than most boats are fishing. Moves with the season. If most guys are in 150 FOW and you're in 50 FOW then you're fishing the inside water. Blue zone - Location on the water "way out there." Generally 400+ FOW. FOW - Feet of Water. Refers to depth of water. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Next time try e-bay. (You can save a lot of money over the box stores)

    Sounds like quite a trip. Tom B. (LongLine)

    If you're using a screw-in gauge, I'd venture a guess you're running on the low end. Most 2-strokes run 100+. You may want to ask in the mercury section on I-boats. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Yes, Fish finders should go direct to the battery. (with an in-line fuse) Are you sure you don't have an over or under voltage situation? Tom B. (LongLine)

    Look at the hair on this guy! (2yrs out of school w/ a stint in the USMC. 1975. 1st salomids I ever caught. Had to go to the library to figure out they were 2 Browns & a Coho. 1979 – 15 Lb Coho off the Genny with the old ’66 PennYan 80-81. This little guy served in Iraq & can bench close to 450 Lbs now Tom B. (LongLine)

    Me & my brother fished 1st ESLO derby out of Port bay. Dick Schyer (RIP) was a city then county employee that started it. We only caught one small lake trout but caught some great smallmouths. Only 5 or 6 salmon caught in that first derby. No one knew how to catch them. Rev. Modish from Rochester won it with a 5 Lb'r. He won a 14 ft aluminum boat which he gave to his church. Little Cleos (with the mermaid) were the hot lures back then, especially the chartreuse ones. I can remember taking brother & father out of Rochester for one of the early derbies. We counted over 350 boats off Rochester alone. It was combat fishing in the spring! This was well before the city/county had a launch and way before the I-bay launch. (even small boats had to duck to get under the I-bay bridge) We had to go way up river to the marina near the turnaround in order to launch. One trip, we waited nearly 2 hours to launch! Weigh in stations gave away a door prize to anyone that weighed in a fish. If it was legal, it could be weighed in. I won a great cooler and we got many lures with ESLO written across the tape job for 2 to 5 Lb fish. Rochester weigh in station was at an old building where the ferry terminal now stands. Parking lot was all gravel & wide open. Oak orchard was a dirt road & Sandy wasn't any better. Riviera downriggers were a popular choice. Yellowbird donut & spring releases were very popular. Black's were new on the market & pinch pads didn't exist. Temp probes were manually lowered on an independent cable. Digital stuff didn't exist. CB radios were popular. Only the largest boats had loran systems. I had an MKII Black & white fish finder. Cost 2 weeks pay but was a great unit - cathode ray tube. Bigger boats had graph units that required scrolls of paper. Tom B. (LongLine)

    I wondered why the bottom came up so fast about 20 ft out from the docks. Now I know (found out yesterday) Last picture shows the splash. This jerk is heaving boulders out it to the river as far as he can! Anyone else would get into a lot of trouble for that with the ACof Eng, DEC & EPA. Guess it’s a lot cheaper for the developer to heave them out there than hire trucks to haul them away. Funny how after just a couple of pix that a Monroe County Sheriff came screaming up to the launch and started giving everyone a very suspicious eye. Very suspicious activity going on there indeed! But you were looking the wrong way officer! Be careful backing out from the launch! (How much money did we taxpayers pay to have the river dredged?) Docks at launch are beautiful but that doesn't mean a developer can chuck boulders into the river! Tom B. (LongLine)

    Dawg's got the solution. You may a loose rivet. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Take a toothpick and put a little vasiline on the prop shaft. See if it makes any difference. 2nd thought: your probe stays pretty horizontal in the water .....right? i.e. not taped so tight it can't swivel. Tom b. (LongLine)
