Is that Great Lakes Planers still in business?

I'm looking at getting a kicker and have two that are a year apart and lightly used. What would be the best choice between 9..9 hp 2005 Johnson electric start or a 2006 Yamaha manual start. My thoughts are that Johnson is no longer making motors and Yamaha seems to be everywhere in my area if service is needed. They/it would be going on a 16 ft Alumacraft. alongside a 60/45 Mercury Jet.

Not the Great Lake O, but the reservoir here at home once again hosts a show by Mother Nature. The stars in this feature are the fishing birds who work diligently to catch their family supper while others rest from their efforts. We no doubt share a common bond with these magnificent fishers. All of us are specialized in our methods as different as they are. . .

And for the occasional fisherman who might only get up to fish for Salmon a few times a year?

A perk of living where I do is the ability to walk our the door and catch some trout. The fishing is always good after a flooding rain. The first signs of clearing water is the time to throw almost anything at them. These fish were all caught within a less than quarter mile stretch. I lost as many as I landed as the feisty little holdover browns and stocked rainbows put on quite a fight. These salmonids are tough to catch in the normal clear flows of the creek. Small streams and fish like these were the sparks that fueled the fire for many.

Thanks for the video, Jeff. Certainly answers some questions, for sure.

That is a good deal, no doubt. I'd like to have a Saltist. seems like they are hard to find these days.

Thanks, Is the plastic line guide still present?

What does the B in LCB stand for?

Ray,......seriously? There are a lot of good places on the Delaware and I caught fish at many of them. When the fish are running all you need it to be on them no matter where you throw your lines. Thanks for watching!

Here are the video highlights of this past American Shad run on the Delaware River at Easton PA.

Looks like I'll be going with the 7'. Unfortunately, the good fishdoctor does not have any 7 footers. He does have a pair of 9's though if anyone is interested.

Thanks for all the input guys. I'm looking at a Shimano Talora 7' wire line roller rod that is rated for 10-20 # line/wire. Would this be enough?.

LOL, my neighbors already think I'm nuts. That would verify it.... Thanks for the replies.

What would be the best length of dipsy diver or wireline rods for fishing from a smaller boat solo? ?.

Thanks for the reply, Tom. I might delay the trip by a bit until things look up a little.

Thanks for all the information fellas. I'll have to look at all the options after deciding what motor would be best suited for my needs.

Thanks Mike. I'll look for your report. Mike

Anyone?

Thanks Tom. That was an awesome time in an awesome port with those guys in the pro am. And you can't forget this:

Was thinking of making the trip next week and was looking for any reports good, bad, or otherwise. Will be light lining with riggers unless fleas are present. Any problems with those yet? Would it be worth the effort?
