2009 Yamaha 20HP 4 stroke kicker/tiller
Motor is still mounted on my boat which will be pulled from storage 2nd week of March. I upgraded my main outboards to new merc 4 strokes and decided to drop the kicker. Impeller replaced last August and always maintained/serviced. Included is the control king throttle control that allows you to control speed from the helm. Motor has electric start, 25 inch shaft and alternator. $2100 obo - pm me with any questions.
I run 50lb power pro for the backing and splice in about 100ft 80lb power pro that the diver is hooked run on. I haven't had any issues with the diver sliding and you won't break off any divers as I've had happen with the mono.
I'm looking at purchasing 2 new Mercury Enertia 15 pitch props. One standard rotation and one counter. Best price I'm seeing is Prop Gods - 549 includes hub assembly. Any suggestions?
I made the switch last year and have been happy so far. I haven't noticed a big difference with the fleas and fished some days they were loading up the wire divers. My rigger bite did improve....tough to say if it was what I was running, presentation or the braid?? I'm sticking with the braid especially since I've been running more meat rigs deep and the blow back is minimal.
I agree it's the hunters choice but those long gun seasons make it easier to shoot a small buck. Especially with our gun season hitting pretty close to peak rut. If we could only shoot one buck each year I think everyone would think twice before ending their season early on a small buck.
I'm down in Latham Ohio at an outfitter and should be tagged out. Opening morning a beautiful 10 pt sneaks in from the left I've got the gun ready for him to clear a tree for about an 70 yard shot when he catches my wind. He turned to take off and I was able to get him stopped in an opening about 85-90 yards. I shoot and he drops - so I throw another round in and he gets up and scoots through the thick stuff. Waited 3 hours and had good blood with some bubbles in it and some dark blood on the one side. Had a group of guys and we searched all over with no luck. Sucks to lose one - would have been my biggest. I must have screwed up the shot because the gun drives tacks. Going to be a long rest of the week.
