We spent 7 days at Scottsboro , and the only thing we I caught was drums and jacks. there were baitfish but no crappie. We were at the marina on the docks. this was the first time in 15yrs. that I...

I be there the first week in Dec. This is about the latest I've been down for the past 15yrs. Last year was good, tried to fish the bridge at 79 but it was so crowded I couldn't even get my hand...

Does anyone know how to patch a hole on boat cover, it's a nitro cover that came with the boat 1995. It's a good cover but I want to get a few more years out of it. The hole is really a tear about...

Just got back from goose pond where we stayed for five days. It was slow and we only caught 20 crappie but they were a pound or better. I wish I had of came a little latter because you guys are going...

I fished North Sauty for five days last week and only caught 12 crappie, they were over 11 in., One was a man over 2lbs. So I think they will start coming in soon, and you will start catching some...

Thanks for the info. I'll try it . If I still am unable to get it right the merc. mechs will charge me $150.00 just to put the lower unit back on. Still I would like to know if a impeller can go bad...

Thank you guys for your input, but last year I did change my impeller, did every thing right, but I just could not get the lower unit back up into the spline to save my life. The marine mech. told me...

My mercury is a 60hp, and I did what you suggested, could not reach farther than the housing about 14 inches. Could there be blockage elsewhere ? And thank you guys for your replies.

Last year I had a water pump impeller put in. Took it out in Sept. and got it clogged up with sand and whatever else was down there. I went home and took my air compressor and thought I blew it free...

Did someone say crisco ??

I just ordered some BG's from louie up at grizzy jig Co. takes about 3 days they had mostly all of them

I always stay at Goose Pond Colony right there on north sauty, (5) miles up river from south sauty. It has everything you need.

There are two companies that make these units, But the price is way to much for me (thousands of dollars) So far they have been used in whaling boats to search for whales. But I just found that out....

Does anyone have this type of sonar that will tell you whats up ahead of you while you are going 40 mph and over. I've seen these on the web and they are very expensive. I would like to know is...

Thanks HG, Humminbird did say that it was the same transducer, so I will have it installed inside the hull where my last one was. I just wanted to know if I was losing any more features other than...

I've hooked minnows every which way, But hooking through the eyes works best on bare hook. They don't want to see what's going to happen to them anyway.

I also live in the peoples republic of Illinois, and have both Utah and Florida permits....But I fish in Alabama where my dad lived.

I swivel around when I'm up front too with my 596c hd di, But I going with the minn kota with the US2 on, and the transducer switch so I can switch transducers.This won't be until May because that...

Thanks anyway Slabmaster

I just got a humminbird 596cHD DI and the transducer that came with it is for transom mount. Humminbird said that they would exchange it for a shoot thru hull transducer. This was what I had when I...

Go straight across from where you put in or boat ramp to the shoreline and work to the left.

First two days were good (15) 2lbs. But the other 5 days we were shut out, not a single crappie. Skipjacks were in though. The weather turned warm and sunny.Used BG blue ice.

SlabmasterII, did I really time it right? I hope so , looks like I'll be wearing my rainsuit most of the time.

I will be there for 7 days and will try to send a report on my phone to this board.

I tried to do it, but I found that I was not centered, so I took it up to the mech. and paid him $83.00 to do it. But I want to thank everyone for their help, I really do appreciate the help.

No, I didn't torque that much, because I didn't believe it. The reason that the screw broke was because it was defective and was not forge properly (1 out of a thousand or less) made in Tiawain. I...

I can't believe I did this. The torque for these bolts were 60lbs. I broke the head off one, now I hope there is a way to get it out. I have tried to tap it out but I can't get a good tap to hold....

I'll order a mercury service manual today. If smiles are contagious, when I get this lower unit in and working properly the whole area I'm in will be smiling.

I'll be there in 2 weeks as I have done for the last 9yrs. Those 9 inch. crappie we threw back years ago are now worth keeping. You are right about fishing there, you have to forget what you thought...

Ok, when this wind stops I'll get back out there, that should be about the time the washers I decided to replace on pump housing will be here. I was reading somewhere that the mercury manuals where...
