Thanks for the replies. My brother also winters in Naples. We've also fished inland waters, Gordons pass and the channel by Keewaydin island to Marco Island. We've kind of been learning as we go. I thought we could learn a lot with a charter and try a little more fishing in the gulf.
I may be heading to Naples Fl in mid-March and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good fishing charter. I'm not sure what's the best species to target that time of year so I'm open to in-shore or off-shore. Any ideas What species should we target?
Thanks for the replies. I couldn't find a kit local so I ordered a 100-hour kit.
The oil and gear oil seems to be much harder to find than Mercruiser products. Is there any reason I couldn't just use Mercruiser products in a Yamaha?
I'm getting ready to winterize my "new to me" 1997 Yamaha 9.9 high thrust kicker. What is the recommended oil and gear lube for this motor? Not sure what was used before. whether it was synthetic, synthetic blend, or regular oil.
Wondering what to use for anti-freeze to winterize my 4.3 Mercruiser. I noticed the Prestone pink waterline anti-freeze says:
Not to be used in gas or diesel engines as winterizing fluid or antifreeze+coolant
Brand new, never mounted Seastar Throttle control. It was going to be used on the boat I bought but decided not to.
$200. plus shipping if needed.
Located in Penfield NY
Please message me with any interest.
I want to try Power Pro on one of my downriggers. Should I back the spool with something? I have 450 feet of 150lb Power Pro. It seems like being so much thinner than stainless cable it would throw off the depth counter. Any thoughts from someone that has used it would be appreciated
Weekends on Irondequoit Bay are always an accident looking for a place to happen. Online license courses are way too easy to just breeze through without learning anything. I'm not big on government regulations but I am for boat operators knowing the rules.
I Came across this in an old Garmin monochrome GPS I had in the basement. I realize it's almost 30 years old but if someone can use it it's yours. I Just thought I would throw it out there before I tossed it. I'm located in Penfield NY. Just drop me a PM.
A VHF is never a bad idea. I have one that came with a new to-me boat that I would be willing to donate to you. Just pay for the shipping. If you are interested drop me a message and we can figure it out.
