Dani, I agree with Roy, sounds like a fuel delivery issue. Had a motor that acted like that....... there was a tiny piece of plastic in the bowl that would jam up the jet. Ran fine after I got it out.

Ditto - 495s for me and most, if not all, my hunting companions. Still on my 1st pair that are near 20 years old. Extra liners so I always have dry gloves in the morning. One of those "best thing I ever bought" items.

Hi Todd Having enjoyed your prose over the years, it's fun and interesting to combine it with a voice and thought process. Thanks.

I was stationed at NAS Whidbey Island when I first heard the saying "when the tide's out, the table's set" how appropriate.

It is definitely a blast sight fishing Reds. There have been quite a few days when I only cast to fish that I can see and watch them eat my fly. Haven't been into my backing yet but only because I let them tow me around, like this 28" - my personal best.

It's been a real learning experience. My 1st year here I only had waders and managed to get a 25". 2nd year I had a kayak and caught maybe 200 Speckled Trout but only a few Reds and those were with a spinning rod. This year I have a Solo Skiff and able to go further and stand up to see/cast...

Apparently "used to be a great place ". From my understanding Hurricane Harvey in August 2017 totally scoured St Charles Bay (where I'm at) and it still hasn't recovered. I've seen rafts of a thousand Redheads near the Aransas Pass Causeway but only a couple here. Oddly, seeing a lot of...

Nope, I see very few ducks while out fishing though I understand there are a lot more birds out around the barrier islands. Plus, it's like $315 for a NR annual license .

Been on the Texas gulf coast since Nov 1st. - mainly flyfishing Redfish. The past month I see Whooping Cranes most days. Thought it strange to see them grazing on the flats until I learned they love blue crabs as much as we do. https://youtu.be/Nm9fwhdJths

Yes, I bought a Tohatsu 6hp a year ago. Easy to order and free shipping. They regularly get new stock. If a motor you want is out of stock, register your email address and they'll send you a message when it's back in stock - that's what happened to me. Ordered my motor the same day I got...

Last new outboard I bought is a 6hp Tohatsu 4 stroke for my Solo Skiff. Best price was at onlineoutboards.com and they also offer free shipping. Originally it was "out of stock" but I supplied them with my email and a month later was informed "back in stock". It was delivered within 5 days.

I've taken out a lot of skunks when I was trapping and learned to never, ever shoot them in the head - they always sprayed. The jab stick with syringe is supposed to work but the skunk needs to be in a trap first. The only method that ever worked was a low impact shot to the stomach with a .22...

Dani, when Otto was experiencing his skin infections I was told that Johnson Baby Shampoo has antibacterial properties. It did seem to help. Can't help with the rest of your questions.

I've got a Solo Skiff that weighs about 225# with a 6hp, gas and a bit off fishing gear. This system works whether I'm using a ramp or off the beach. The pvc is stuffed with 2x2s for added stiffness.

I've got a '95 115 Johnson that looked just like yours. It was backed into in my driveway. Repair shop suggested trying to beat it back into alignment - "Most likely break, but worth a shot". I used a hand mall as a buck and whacked the other side with a rubber mallet. Worked great. Still...

I'm interested in what you find out is causing this. Looks like you've tried different bulbs? Have you checked the fuel pump for a pinhole in the diaphragm?

Ditto

Interesting material. I'd call the company and ask for the contact info of a boat builder using their product. Looking at their website I don't see specific information on fasteners, adhesives, etc and only a brief mention of heat welding. What concerns me is the primary exterior material is...

Love your stories Dani - nice season wrap up.
