    Grass Fishing

    I just watched a Tommy Martin video on grass fishing. In the video he says just fish the edges, period. He says not to waste any time going out into the grass. Allot of the guys I've fished with will go out into the middle of a big grass/weed bed and fish all day. What we'll end up doing is...

    Crankbait Rod

    I just bought a fiberglass crankbait rod. I've got fluorocarbon on the reel I'm going to put on it. Should I switch to mono so theres a little stretch in the line?

    Texas Rig / Transition

    I want to peg my weight on a Texas rig. How do you guys do it, just tie a knot above the weight? Also, have any of you tried the Berkley Transition? I fished with one guy that really liked it, and another guy that thought it was low quality product. It's line watchers line. It's supposed to be...

    Oneida Lake This Weekend

    The family and I drove up to Oneida Lake this Sunday to watch the weigh in for the Elite. Very cool. I high fived Iaconelli on his way to the stage, my daughter high fived KVD. Tim Horton stopped on his way to the stage, bag of fish and all, to say "how ya doing" to my four year old. After the...

    1992 60hp 3 cylinder stalls going into gear

    Driving this boat onto the trailer is getting embarrassing. Kind of looks like looks like a Kamikaze attack. Here are the symptoms: A little hard starting, I have to give it allot of throttle. Stalls going into gear, have to give it gas quick to keep it running. Can't keep it running in...

    OMC 60hp, 3 cyl Service Bulletin

    I did service bulletin number 2271, larger high speed jets, and retard max spark advance 2 degrees. Since completed I'm only getting 5100 RPM at WOT. I used to get 6000. <br /><br />Do you think the SB is responsible for the 900 RPM loss, or is there somthing else going on here?

    25hp, Can't keep running.

    A friend of mine Just bought a used boat with a 25hp Johnson or Evinrude, late 90's I think. (Can't rember) He says it will start right up, but will only run for a short period of time. I'm thinking sticking float. It's using whatever fuel is in the float bowl, then starving when the bowl is...

    Soft Plastics/Rods

    I've always caught all my fish on hardbaits and spinnerbaits. I've been forcing myself this year to use soft plastics without any luck. <br /><br />I've come to the conclusion that I don't like the soft plastics because I have a real hard time feeling the bites; if I'm getting any. (Don't know...

    WOT

    I have a 1993 60HP Johnson thats supposed to be turning 6000 RPM at WOT. If my tach is reading correctly (it may not be) I'm getting 5000 RPM on the nose. Boat performance is fine. If its only turning 5000 RPM am I lugging the motor?

    Motorguide Shorted

    I've got a 1992 30lb Motorguide that stopped working recently. The fusible link is open, and the main two-pronged connector from the battery was melted. The rubber boot on the negative terminal was melted to be specific. I'm guessing internal short at the motor, but <br />I can't find a wiring...

    2000 Monark modified V bass boat

    I spotted a Monark mod V bass boat for sale. Their 2006 line does not include any mod V hulls. Do any of you know if they were welding these mod V hulls themselves back in 2000, or were they coming from another manufacturer?

    Very subtle knock when I turn the prop by hand

    1992 three cylinder 60 hp Johnson. I've got about three hours on it this year. I just noticed that when I spin the prop by hand I get a very subtle knock, or tap coming from the midsection or lower unit. I'm going to drain the gearcase tomorrow just to take a look at the fluid.<br /><br />Any ideas?

    First Tournament

    My wife and I fished our first Bass tournament today, and we caught six Pickerel. Oh well, we had fun anyway.<br /><br />Noticed that they just let all of the Bass go right there at the dock after the weigh in. Will those Bass return to where ever they were caught, or will they make a new home...

    Fuel Smell, Outboards

    Both of my out boards (92 Johnson 60 three cyl, 2000 Johnson 50 two cyl) have a strong fuel smell when the cowl is removed. There is always a shiney film on the inside of the front of the cowl. No fuel leaks that I can see; no slick in the water when running. Is this just normal for a two stroke...

    Lake Hopatcong

    First time out, dinged the prop. The water is way low. But I have a fishing tournament coming up Sunday, so I went out to scout the lake today. Hit three rocks all at the north end of the lake. Thought I just banged the skeg three times, one hit was the prop. It's not bad ding, but it still...
