i dont have much to compare to,as this was only our second full season fishing the lake,but it was alot tougher fishing than compared to last year.we fish mexico bay area.there was a good amount of fish off the plant end of june and most of july and then they were gone!!!!end of july and all of august you really had to hunt for them and when you did find them it was tough getting them to go.what worked yesterday wouldnt move the next day,so you were really having to work for them.im sure the seasoned veterans that have been fishing the lake alot longer then us had better results.the other thing that kept catch rates down for us was for a long time this summer temp was down well over 150 ft.we only fish 2 riggers,so take your copper and dipsies out of the equation and you have alot less baits in the water.as far as the size of fish,we caught more 10 to 20 lb fish this year compared to last year.last year most of the fish we caught were over 20 lbs.it was frustrating at times this year,but it still was alot of fun and fished with alot of good people.boat isnt out yet,but already looking forward to next year.

if you are looking for t.v. coverage,here on time warner cable you have rush outdoors hunting and fishing show.i have seen them cover salmon fishing on lake ontario.

i would add a few more things.even though you are using non-ethanol fuel,i would still add stabilizer to the fuel,i also like to fog the motor and when you are all done running it,spray the whole motor down with wd-40 and dont forget to grease all fittings.as far as the impeller,i like to change them every other year just for a piece of mind,its fairly inexpensive,especially if you can do it yourself.

depends on what you are fishing for,amount of room you have for the f/f,if you want a stand alone or one with gps and if they except a lake map chip.all the top manufactures make quality products,you need to do the research and see who makes a unit with the most features and biggest screen size in your price range.also,do alot of shopping,you can save yourself some money.if you are salmon/trout fishing lake o,you dont need the down imaging,you are better off getting one with 50/200 mhz split screen.if you have the room,you are better off with a stand alone unit.i bought a sitex svs-750 dual frequency that i am very happy with that was close to your price range.

fished yesterday from 9 till3.went 3 for 3.fished the big river to south dune.100 to 120 fow water had the most bait and marks.took 1 king on white paddle white fly rigger down 100,took 1 king on the producer cheated up 10 ft on 90 ft rigger and 1 brown on a j-plug down 90 on the rigger.fished today from9 till 4 went 0 for 2.both were screamers, white spinny with prism tape out 230 on 2 setting with white fly,broke him off and then same white paddle with white fly on rigger down 100 spit after bout a minute or two.same area as yesterday.

small craft advisory till late tonight

i have always used the manufacturers oil in the motor in all my motors for years.after reading a post over the winter on here about alot of guys using the supertech from walmart at 12 bucks a gallon i decided to try it this year.i have twin 200 older yammies and went through 6 gallons so far this year and the motors are still running strong.just like was stated above,oil is oil,for the most part,like synthetic or synthetic blend.so i spent 70 bucks or so instead of colse to 300 bucks had i bought yammie oil.
