Chick Riva Friday

Crappisaurusrex · #1 (**permalink**) 11-07-2009, 06:43 AM

Fished from 11:30-3:30 ran the motor down river a bit(still not right). Found fish in 13'. only put 4 rods out because of winds. Could hardly keep them baited up. Fish bit good the whole time. When i left they were still biting. Water temp was 57*. Caught most on minnows and a few jigging a silver buddy. kept the limit and went home. Caught quite a few white perch and bream but no keepers. no yellow perch yet. Most around 10" had a 1/2 dozen 12"'s. Going back next week for some more!

That's a lot of fish in that short period of time, and especially in the wind. That's area of the river could be used for a Langley Test tunnel. Must of took the perseverance of a spider to fish the Chick yesterday. You did good!

Good job on the catchin Tony!! Have you had the carbs rebuilt yet? It is fairly easy/inexpensive to do. I think I have the same engine as yours. A fuel water separator is a must if you don't have one yet also use the marine stabil. I never have had problems with my fuel line. Only real problems I had with mine is water bubbles getting into the carbs and killing any power over 2000 rpm.

Not yet. i had a guy at work do them a few years back. when i get off i am going to try and get the fuel filter and see how that does. probably head back to the riva either Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning.

Good job Rex. I saw a nice box of slabs come thru Stewarts yesterday, caught on the river somewhere.

Though you had Stewarts was under a minnow trade embargo. Have you lifted it? Please do, liked having those beauties dip out the minners.
