  1. I'm just looking for a cheap way out to get some sort of gauge of speed to satisfy my doubts when I'm not hooking up in my small boat which has been a lot this spring . I think I'm going to buy a new depth finder for my big boat and put the old one on my little boat which has a surface speed probe. I've done very well in my small boat without having speed for years but this year has been tough . But that has been the norm this year .
  2. All good points And if your crew is inline waiting , help out the guy in front of you if he needs it . nothing grinds me worse than people that don't have their boat loaded and ready to launch .
  3. I have a fish hawk on my big boat so I know all about the speed difference top to bottom . I just want a reference point so I can feel better when I'm not getting hits . And SOG ain't the best . I fished for years not having anything on my small boat and did well . This year has been tough for everyone , so it not just me . I'm going to hold off and see what happens .
  4. Sounds like a Sutton 38 . Great spoon Zugo`s favorite . Or a 71 if you want it real thin . Hammered brass and silver .
  5. Agree 100% I have learned that there is an optimum time to fish for all species during the year . Got some hog perch this morning and a few of these
  6. Went out first light till 8 Saw a lot of bait in 50 ft Moved out and fish 50 to 100 No hits I'm done for a while till I see some good reports on here . It's like beating a dead horse. I Ican't bring myself to target lake trout . I don't figure things will get good where I can fish out to 120 max till the lake stratifies .
  7. Yes, they are great motors when they are running . But everything breaks down eventually. And these are my experiences with them . We went thru my friends 70s 60 hp and we would get it running good and it would do just as you described . He finally wound up selling it . After that I found out from someone who had the same problems what his fix was . The part was like 400$ .
  8. The OMC outboards of that era are prone to those issues . I had a 55 Johnson that did the same thing . I would change the coil and it would last a,trip or 2 . I think what happens is it runs fine till it gets hot then it shuts down and runs on 1 cylinder . It wound up being the spark amplifier or power pack . This happened to 3 other motors of that era I know about . Question .. Is it running on all cylinders ?
  9. I saw three bait fish schools,this morning . Dawn to 8 . I ran out to 70 ft and set down in bait and fish . Put them down , rod goes off , drop it , and that was it. Not a lot of marks today . I may go back to fishing for warm water species .
  10. Tommy at East Fork Pro did my 1986 OMC cobra a few years back after 2 sets of point failed in 2 weeks . Boat never ran better and I get better gas mileage .
  11. Yes I judge speed by all that also and have for years , but I have been struggling this spring( sounds like most have out my way ) and I doubt what I am doing when I do . So I figure for 100$ I can have piece of mind . Maybe It makes a difference , maybe it doesn't . The thing looks simple enough , maybe I make one .
  12. A guy I know who lives in Spencerport says the creek behind his house is higher than he has ever seen it today Also Coyote K said Sandy creek behind his house is also very high Also today . Anybody know what's up ? Are they draining the canal to try and raise the lake ?
  13. I have, no speed indicator on my small boat other than my handheld GPS for SOG . I can't get a paddle add on for my depth finder and I'm not going to drop 900$ on a fish hawk . Anyone have any experience with the Luhr Jensen manual type indicator for 75$ ?
  14. First light to 8 this morning 60 to 90 Nice temp break and scum line Not a great screen but saw a few.Lakers on bottom No hits

    No Gas

    They should look into getting the same security software that was used for the last election . There is no way that could EVER be hacked . Or so we're told .
  16. First light this morning till 8 Started close with sticks but no hits Switched to spoons and worked my way out . Got good surface temp and green water . Maybe its working it's way down our way and the kings won't be far behind . Managed a Laker down 75 and a coho down 30 . Did not Mark any bait and no fish other than the Lakers on bottom..
  17. How does it feel to be canceled ? Some prominent Dems have said anyone who supported Trump was not worthy to even hold a job and should be shunned . And we should be " deprogrammed" . So now we are outraged ? Please spare me . What's good for the goose . if a Biden voter was on my boat and I knew it , he probably would regret getting on board . Maybe we get a law saying I have to take them .
  18. From all the reports on here from out West , I would trailer to Ollcott / Wilson . 45 min drive from Sandy .
  19. My son who lives in Cary NC says all the stations around him are out . All this over some guys who hacked into the pipeline computer system ? It's a good thing those guys went around election time . Or were they ? Get ready to be bent over on gas prices. I knew one way or another the price would go up .
  20. Nice of you to blend a hand But you can buy a cheap one for 10 to 15 $ and put a broom stick on it to make it longer . Nice thing to have .
  21. As you walk out on the big pier , on the bay side from about 100 yards to the main channel is good for warm water species . The corner where you start to walk north is the best spot fishing in the bay . I would think the channel where the swim area is to the small pond would be good because of the warm water .
  22. After going out deeper yesterday to find cold black water , and seeing my rigger weight down 20 ft and getting skunked I decided to try in close this morning . First light I started close to port and ran my trusty Rebels . Got this one to take on the edge of the colored water .
