    Catfishing On The James 9/15/12

    We started off good with a 30lbr and a 20lbr in the boat right away, but we just couldn't find any more big cats for the rest of the evening. Had a few more in the teens, but no more pigs after the 30. Good night though. Only fished about 6 hours and had pretty steady action all night. The...

    6/26 James River Catfishing

    Caught this one last night about 30 minutes into my first spot. 61lbs and my second biggest blue cat to date. It was a blast fighting it in and landing it by myself. I was walking on sunshine after the release!

    Ignition wired wrong?

    I traded for a pontoon boat last week and when looking it over the previous owner showed me how to had to manipulate the key in a funny way to get the motor to start and the starter to disengage. After getting it home and starting to work on it I realized that the ignition switch may in fact be...

    Well, not a new boat, but new to me anyways.... Took me forever and a lot of pounding and wedging to get the lower to drop. That was my first indication that it had been a while since the last impeller change. Stuck the new one in the photo for comparison. I don't know how, but the old one was...

    Dropping lower unit on a 76' 115

    Getting ready to do an impeller change on my '76 155ETL76. Last one I did was on a 1998 40hp mercury about 5 years ago. That one went easy. Just had to put it in forward gear, undo all the bolts, wiggle it a bit and it dropped right out. Putting it back in was nearly as easy. Being new to owning...

    Choke problems on a '76 115

    I'm having problems with a 76 Johnson choke solenoid. The motor ran great untill I had a short in the hot wire coming off the rectifier. Replaced the rectifier and the motor would crank, but blow the 20A fuse as soon as I bumped the choke switch. The choke solenoid was badly rusted and seemed to...
