Re: 2023 DYP Final Results

Re: Boat headquarters

I have had them service my 2000 Yamaha HPDI 150’s with no complaints.

What scares me everywhere and in all industries nobody wants to work anymore meaning backups and lack of new talent.

Re: Looking for advice on Downrigger bounce at surface

I had the Fish Thief Snubbers and lost a 12# Cannon ball. I threw the other three in the garbage after loosing. Might try a smaller 2-3’ cable and a snubber.

Thanks for the feedback!

Looking for advice on Downrigger bounce at surface

Might sound basic but looking for advice. Last year purchased new cannon downriggers. Love the speed aspect from older ones but hate the bounce when getting to the surface as the weights force extreme bounce on the equipment. The device has plastic connectors to break circuit at the water line but t...

Why do we fish?

Over the last several months there appears to be less reporting and conversations. Let’s change it by describing why you fish. There is no right or wrong answer. For me it is for pure fun regardless of what we catch. Can’t remember the last fish I brought home to eat. For many of us we have boats so...

Re: Beautiful LandLocked at my driveway!

What a day! I always love to see the fish but equally satisfying is what is on the grill!

Great job!

Re: Lakers still all over off colchester reef

Do you have temp at that depth? Last time out it was very warm water in the top 50’ which is out of Lake Trout preferences. Interesting to me as our graph showed similar depths of no action. Just never tried in the warmer water.

Roaming marine mechanic

I continue to battle a fuel issue on one of my Yamaha Z150s and was wondering if there are any mobile/roaming mechanics willing to give it a shot. Worst case I pull it and wait for who knows how long… Can be reached via eight zero two 578 four six seven five or via a message. Any help is appreciated...

Where has everyone gone?

I know I have yet to fish this year which is way to late for me but am I the only one? Boat is in the water so maybe next week. Are people not fishing, just not posting or all the above? Always enjoyed the conversations and learning opportunities. Is the forum dying or dead? Promise to post when I f...
