  2. 1987 Merc 70 hp outboard with quiksilver controls.

    I cannot get my button to push in that allows me to give the engine throttle in neutral. I often need to push this in to give gas to get engine started.

    Never had a prob til trying to start in dark last week. I cant get it to go in no matter what but rest of controls work fine. I had to pop engine cover and manually give throttle. Button cover is plastic and not broken. I can pull it off. Any ideas?

  3. I like to tie an albright knot and then do a haywire twist with the tag end of the copper. The haywire really helps get the knot started going through the guides. I would also suggest adding a piece of mono to attach your boards to like Eric suggested. Another thing that will help is to keep your rod tip lower when you get to the splice, and it will slide through easier.

    This is exactly what i do. I have most copper on okuma pro leadcore rods as i have had at least 3 or 4 copper rods break so far this year. No upgrades on reels and i have zero probs. Just my .02

  4. At least ya got the skunk out. We all have those days that ya just cant keep em hooked. Next trip u will bat 100%. Pickled Sunshine on anything is good. Mnt DewSD has been a pretty good setup over the years for me. I like it with pickled sunshine or no see um. I do believe that it is easier to lose fish on dipsies with so much gear to shake around. When they surface and start throwing spinning things around it gives em a lotta leverage. I run my dipsies so they click out here and there. Loosen em before taking out of holder too helps.

    Good Luck.

  6. PM- Ended 12 for 14 with 11 Kings and a nice steelie. Havent been to SH in 2 weeks. Fishwhisperer and my cousin Shaun from Bay City joined for a great night. 90-95fow was best. One small king and the rest were VERY nice.

    AM- Shaun and I ended 6 for 6 with 5 Kings and a laker. 95-110 fow was best today. Got a little bumpy for us so we pulled early. All riggers today.

    Mostly rigger and dipsy bites which i LIKE ;)

    Guess everyone was fishing up and down the coast yesterday. Nice to talk to Flyman and Eliminator out there. I could hear Mike(Supertramp) outta St Joe.

  7. I have been running it for a few years and have had very few breakoffs, if any that were due to the line. Ive had more issues with backer and other parts breaking. I guess i feel the price of flouro "leader material" is flippin crazy. I would guess i caught at least 80 fish this year with Vanish and three 19+lb kings on the same rod with 20#vanish in 8 days. I do replace all leaders every year.

    Just my .02 :)

    Im sure it will be nothing but break offs tommorow!!! lol
