Awesome Whaler!! Great to hear all went well!! You and the boys will definitely get your new boat slimy!! Which looks like you did that already. Best of wishes to you and family!! Mike.
They should have never agreed with the 2014 deal to raise the lake 2ft to satisfy the salamanders and frogs. They would of found other wet lands. So now its been a thorn in property owners and marinas suffering and the land owners can swim freely with the frogs.
They cut back on water flow into St.LARRY due to flood conditions on the river. So the lake will continue to rise with the rains and whats left of the run off. Headed to the Oswegotchie River camp tomorrow and Black River later in the week. Will know more by then. Of course the locals would know best. The lake made our local news earlier this past week.
Awesome trip fellas!!! Gotta love your choice of weapons!! SS Slims is second to none along with Michigan stingers. On the east we killed them on the same color greens in the Bay Rats shorts shallow useing the 80/20 method with 1/4oz. Snap weightπππ
Well i can vouch for that mikeyP i pitched the whole motor as the salt ate the power plant from the inside out. If it was flushed faithfully it will be a different story!!!
Id advise not striking the starter with a hammer as that year starter is a pmgr starter. Permanent magnet gear reducted its magnets are glued to the case and will shatter if hit just a tad to hard. Its not like the old field case type. The brushes are in a all metal backing plate. If your getting a clicking its either a low voltage problem or a bad ground. Must always a bad ground. If you can jump the aux solenoid and go directly to the main solenoid to see if the solenoid even pulls in, if it does then test the aux solenoid to see if its putting juice to the starter solenoid, rememer that solenoid needs its own ground also. If need be pm me and i can help you with it. 23 years of being self employed in the starter & alt. business.
we must have talked to the same knot head. So I went with the python and troll master, not ''auto'' pilot but has s turns and different pattern built in and throttle control on a lanyard along with left/right at your fingertips. all around $900.00 but I did give up set it and forget it type autopilot. In my mind might be a good thing,
I used 30# PP for everything, till I started using slide divers. Do yourself a favor and go with 50# PP they lock up better with or without that little piece of tubing. Then just leader down with fluro to the business end. Some days that is a killer rig when all else fail. Some days you can't buy a bite. More so on the positive side though!!
I love that show I went 2 years ago and those guys really have a good selection of goods. I'm going to give it my best shot to make this one. I've been going to the Brewerton Show for 3 years strait!! This year I want to go to this one as I need more of Troutmanss sinkers simple the best. Plus I found a lot different line weights that are used in the styles of the Finger Lakes fishing..... Plus taking my twin daughters got me a lot of spoons from the generosity of the spoon guys!!! Word has it that R & R is going to be there with something new??? Only hearsay!! The site doesn't show anything new. Be safe you early birds!! I wish I had a smaller boat with a O/B at times like this!!
Awesome job guys!!! Really adore you taking dad along, do all ya can with him. Like me someday it will be memories!! But there's nothing like talking to dad instead of yourself. I'm sure you 2 were like dad and i, we were best of friends as much as father & son.πππ
Man that's exactly what I'm looking for till I saw it was Volvo outdrive. I'd be on my way carrying cash!!! Where is the block cracked that you can see the water seam??
Now on our local news the people are bytching about the crows shyting everything up?? The snowflakes are never satisfied, I hope they stay there permanently!!!
I just find having to tip toe through the snowflakes to enjoy our way of life just giving in to these parasites and a slap to our heritage and how we survived. But hey what do I knowππ
It was in news articles that the lake is/was 16"s higher than the 2017 year, but they were letting water out at insane numbers to compensate. Hopefully you get a gradual thaw so they didn't have a repeat of 2017. I would go with the words of the locals before us guys from other states get nervous about it. I hope for those with lake front property are spared this time/ If there is a this time??
