    I confess: I am intimidated by my large lake

    We have a place up on Leech Lake in northern MN. The wonderful thing about this lake is its size over 112,000 acres, with tons of reasonabley sized bays and coves to sneak into and the multi-species fishing is outstanding. But I have to confess, I am intimidated going out onto the main basin...

    Re: So my husband buys me a new (to me) boat... Ha, I realized that I have hardly any pictures of "the boat" as I'm always inside of it with the camera enjoying the darn thing. So here it is on a trailer (nothing fancy but it sure does move out) it is a 93 Forester w/a 4.3l V6 and it is in...

    My fishing buddies bailed on me :( My husband had work to do (but I knew this in advance) My 16 year old son's LaCrosse coach made them all feel guilty and inferred Varsity would be on the line if anyone missed a practice. So he was out over the weekend. 17 year old son had prom to go to...

    OMC Cobra 4.3 Transom Shift Cable inspection quesiton+

    Is there anyway to visually tell if the OMC Cobra shift cable has been replaced? My understanding is they need to be red, can a person visually inspect the engine and see if this has been done or does it need to be checked by a mechanic?

    Purchasing a boat w/o a lake to run it on first

    Living in Minnesota, our local lakes are not yet ice free, even in southern MN. I am looking at a couple older (mid to early 90's) boats, one which we are going for a second look tomorrow. We can put it on a large deeper pond nearby that we can move around on, but cannot get up to speed on...
