Check your ground. Black wire from engine block to battery. Remove connection and clean. Try cheap and easy 1st. Also call Moor in Buffalo, they may have recommendations of why it is not working.
That fish is missing it's adipose fin. What you are holding is the result of the Pen-rearing projects around the lake at different ports. Nice fat and healthy fish. You are ruined now!
Unless you are off the deepwater areas near Pulaski or Oswego with the fish coming home....I don't think I would be fishing out deep right now. We are late in the game. A lot of fish are inside of 100' right now. The Kings I caught yesterday were females with color and red rub marks on their bellies. The cold water on the North Shore has pulled Canadian fish into their piers already so less fish out deep to play with. Get inside and grind the next three weeks.
Three weeks I think. I did my due diligence with making sure all the paperwork went to the right places. Also key was registering the motor as stolen with Mercury and multiple counties. When the police checked with Mercury it came back registered as stolen.
Insurance company will get the motor as they paid out on the claim. I think given the dollar amount of stolen goods he probably will do jail time as felon.
I received a call today from the Orleans County DA office regarding my stolen Mercury outboard. It seems the bad mojo the thief acquired when he stole from a LOU member came back to bite him in the arse. Good news is they caught the guy with other stolen items. If anyone had fishing equipment stolen recently they may want to contact the Orleans County DA. I don't have the thief's name yet but I will post it when I do. I have a smile on my face from ear to ear.
Trying to figure out where I want to target kings this coming weekend and thought I would check what the Niagara flow was doing esp. with all these reports of kings still way out deep. Sure enough....even looking back to the 18th of August, the plume has been shooting out the top of the drop and heading out into the middle of the lake instead of staying along the shore....just like much of last year. I think so many are struggling to have consistent fishing in the usual staging areas in close is that much of the staging is occurring out deep. The pull to the natal waters will draw them inside but they may just be coming across the middle of the lake to Pulaski via deep water route.
With any new equipment you will learn its quirks. Those large hooks you show on your graph might be the small loose bait pods that have been showing out there the past month,
