Sitting here looking at a snowstorm and wondered about FISHING. I troll for walleyes idiling a 40 hp Johnson. Does a good job but loads up after 40 min and needs to be run to clear it. Had a VRO that I removed and run 50/1 mix. Would it be a good idea to run a separate tank at 100/1 while...

Can anyone give me contact info to see if there is still room for the seminar on friday? Thanks, John

In the last couple years I've been hunting Rip-Rap and rock piles or walls. I am using Navy anchors and had to cut off three last season. I can get them out fine if I can see them but when it's snotty and the wind is blowing hard it's difficult to free them. Just curious what others are using...

A couple weeks ago I posted about a frozen throttle cable problem. John Fraser suggested it was a control problem and he was correct. I had been looking for a tiller to convert this motor so decided to make my own. Made it long enough that I don't need an extension. The throttle is an old cable...

Put the boat in the water today. Started right up,water pump working ,dog loaded. As I put it in gear it's a little stiff but goes ok but throttle cable is frozen and won't move. Does anyone have a good way to treat them so I can avoid this problem? The boat is covered but sits outside. We had...

How to use a ramp in cold weather!! Went to the ramp yesterday afternoon and someone had it all screwed up. We had a few inches of snow but the ice was thin. Someone had backed down(steep ramp) without shoveling and slid to the water. They then spun their tires over the entire double ramp they...

Was out in the swamp last Saturday and wasn't seeing any ducks. The wood ducks are usually thick in the area so they must have moved south. Out of the corner of my eye I saw some movement (not a squirrel). I normally don't shoot geese but nothing else was happening. I shot the closest one and it...

I'm looking at a larger boat for fishing. With all the experience here I'll ask what are the advantages to either a I/O or an outboard. I'm looking at a 17-18 ft boat. I've only had small outboards but saw a couple nice boats with 4 cyl I/Os. What do you think? Thanks, John

Having just mailed a decoy yesterday I got to wondering which is better? I used UPS because the last time I used the post office the shipping doubled the cost of the item I shipped. UPS was more than expected but maybe I'm out of touch. What does the jury say? John

All this cold water talk goit me to thinking about a day a few years ago. I hunt frequently where I have to block a jogging path on a state park to put my boat in the water. It was verry cold with ice making when I returned to take out. I was met by an elderly woman who was interested in...

Hi Guys, Try to make long story short. This motor has been great with one exception. When under full power it feels like it's cavatating at times. The rpm goes up and speed goes down. When it first happened I bought a new prop thinking it was spinning on the hub. It is a 13 spline with...

All fiberglass 1986 Broadbill built in NC with trailer $1250.00 I hate to sell it but I'm running out of room. I'll be happy to send pictures to anyone interested.(I really nead to figure out this picture thing!!) Boat is in Erie PA Thanks, John

Looking for a new prop for my broadbill. I'm running a 15Hp Suzuki and I'm happy with performance. I can get a 4 blade prop for a couple dollars more than a 3 blade (Stock) The diameter and pitch are both at the stock spec's. Wouldn't the 4 blade just get on plane faster and give more torque...

Got out an old book and saw a boat I've always wanted to build. It is in Duck Shooting in the Great South Bay chapter. This section was written by Eugene Connett and has always been a dream of mine to build one. It is described as a flat bottom puntie with the bow enclosed and a flat after...

Last weekend I was hunting on Lake Ontario with a new friend . The boats they were using were aluminum v hulls decked over with permanent blinds on them. They were very dry and comfortable to hunt from. I'm planning on modifying a 14' BlueFin in a similar way. It has a 9.9evenrude on it and...

Hi Guys, I've got a friend who is in his first year of residency of medical school in Maine. He called the other night and is trying to decide where to go after school. He said there are several places in northern Minn where he could go and wants to know what hunting opportunities are...

Hi Guys, Has anyone used or reloaded Nice shot? It looks like a good product since you can load with your old lead formulas. (for us old timers) It looks a little expensive but no worse than other shot in it's class. It's soft enough to load with fiber wads if you would...

Got the package,thanks a lot!! PERFECT!!! John
