Very well, I will leave you boys to it. Not a whole lot of difference than turning on the electronics and side scan and finding brush piles that way. That is the modern way to find them. They...

That is an answer with many answers. No the motor will not scare the fish. As a matter of fact on Wateree there is a guide whom backtrolls with main engine and a big wind sock and the turbulence...

I use a 6 foot 9 inch Lews Drop Shot Rod, any medium light longer rod with a very fast tip works well. I also use Nanofil line or braid and one can feel a gnat breath on the line. That is important...

I used to go to many lakes, Wylie, Greenwood, wateree and Santee. Even the Edisto and Combahee Rivers. Now that I am more or less retired I fish three or four days a week and just stick close to...

Free shipping is a good incentive for all of us who shop around. Even the well known stores in the last year are providing this incentive to compete with such as free shipping if you buy 25 dollars...

Yes tournaments get to be work and not fun. I no longer fish them either. One big gripe I always had was it sure looks like it is going to be a great afternoon and evening and now I have to quit...

The fishing machine, for any species. Sit in the front and shoot docks or cast, longline, or jig pole and never shut the main engine off. Best I figure it has been on around 1480 fishing trips...

I have never met you, but I can tell, if I entered a tournament and you were a player I would consider you a threat. Lol! You might just make me use my brain.

I plan to try the long line for a...

A few good sized Gills, half fillets. this is where you scale them, then fillet them leaving the skin on, apply your favorite fish mix and Yum! The only fish that compares is some member of the...

Most name brand sonars have a lot of clutter in shallow water. It takes a college degree to learn how to use them effectively and get out of them all that is possible.

The secret for yours is...

Yep, nice catch for sure! Yea that wind can really be a pain. Catch a fish in a brushpile and while you deal with that with your foot off the trolling motor you are all the way to the dam. Lol!

That does happen, especially in clear water, I just live with it and find another brush pile. More fun to go exploring anyway. A DNR officer would not agree with your explanation........now son he...

I used to fish wateree quite a bit. The best way to catch crappie year around on that lake is to longline. It is an easy lake to fish as it is not real wide, just kinda like a wider part of the...

There is much to that question. A regular ole crappie curl tail works well when they are shallow and active. But when they go deep as the water warms up I find a small black or natural colored hair...

Your 4 stroke most likely has kidney stones. I love a mercury engine but their biggest problem is the water intake is big enough to allow some stone, or other foreign object to get stuck right...

Yep, weekends on Murry are insanity. Was up at 4.a.m. this morning and on the lake before daylight.

In the ice cooler are 20 nice Black Crappie waiting to be cleaned. Bear Creek, top of the...

Yes, big enough to fillet. It was delicious too. Lol! That is perhaps the best tasting fish in the lake. Provided you can catch one decent size.

Long sloping gravel points, islands with sloping points, and you want the wind blowing into the point. Set up with red worms for the Shell crackers, kinda like crappie fishing, three rods shallow,...

A few of the mixed catch this morning, at 2 p.m. Whew gettin hot, time to go.

An old impeller is like an ole tire, it can come apart very easy. A new one you have to turn it the correct way when you install it to flex the vanes or it will run against the direction and do the...

Fishing report this week for panfish. I spent three days on Murray this week, Tuesday was in the Ballentine creek arms, Wednesday in Rocky Creek, and today in Bear Creek. A few fish caught Tuesday...

You have throttle sensor problems. I had an Optimax 150 and it was a constant situation with those sensors. You will be full throttle and the motor will just cut off. The oil injection was...

Sounds to me like the timing is not advancing. That is all located up under the flywheel. The chatter sound, funny noise you hear is the air fluttering past the carb plates, plenty of fuel and air,...

Who is Kit Carson? You must have me mixed up with Wild Bill Hick-up. :biggrin

I got the message, just been lazy in looking at the forum. You have a return answer.

Cheers

Once upon a time........Lol! I never go fishing at Lake Murray on the weekend, it is insanity. However if one had a video camera one could get some classics.

We stopped by the Dam on time on...

Crappie are unique. You either like them or you do not. I generally keep only two crappie as my wife likes them and I do not. Now give me some deep fried Gills and I will eat a dozen of them.

:biggrin It has been a few years since I put on a wet suit, but I will bear in mind not to wear scales, the warning of those Yukon Piranha is taken to heart. Lol!

Ya'll have fun, be good, but...

Hey!! What do you guys stalk? Lol! :Rofl

Yea those old tires will shred like they were in a paper shredder. About Ethanol? I have heard many tales, and many stories, yet have had no ill effects that I know about. My 40 Merc is a 2006 and...

Now why did I not think of that? A sense of humor is the spice of life. Glad to see someone around here has one. Cheers!! Kit
