Well finally got out on the water , been waiting for parts to finish installing the new kicker. ran out after work mostly to try out the new kicker and get some baits washed. Kicker worked great !!! baits are clean now , another skunk in the boat . Saw one fish caught right at the launch , a big ugly brown. looked like a zombie. The guy that caught it didn't even want to touch it. went 0 for 0 . Fun just to get out and listen to the purr of the new kicker. Tight lines Jim

Well after a long wait for the correct parts the install is finished. A new 15hp 4 stroke kicker , to save the hours from being added up on my main motor,have 195hrs for one season. Full controls and a steering rod to connect the 2 motors .Had to disassemble the back of the boat for the install. Have about 2 weeks left to fish , have surgery on the 28th . Will be out of commission for 12-16 weeks. Not quite enough time to get it broken in but hoping to get at least 10hours on it before it gets put away for the season. Tight Lines Jim

how far out is that Josh , 10 maybe 12 miles?

Glad to here that , good that you called your agent , makes it a little easier on the pocket book.

WOW , thats one sweet boat Josh, wish I would have saw that before I bought my tracker.

I hope your insurance company picks this up, I has to call mine , someone tossed out a cigarette on the road and burned a spot on my carpeting. I am hoping they cover that , the boat is only 8 months old.

NIce Job Jimmy , glad to see someone catching fish.

nice setup , should be able to boat a few from that

ok so engineer Salmon, what are they going to eat. The waters can only support more fish if there is enough of a food source for them to eat. Then we must engineer plankton and plant more forage fish for the salmon to eat. by the time there done we might as re-engineer our selfs.remove the pollutants from the water , cool off our world then things might improve. bad idea to say the least.We have to stop poisoning our selfs!!!!

Do you have a set of controls?

now we need a submarine to find the fish, or to see if they are carp or white fish

Hey Josh at least you were fishing, GJ on the 2

nice catch

I think they had 1 and it went for 2700 ?

I'll let you know thursday night.

My best guess right now is that I don't have controls, I should have asked . Would the control king be enough to use on the motor without a set of controls? I will find out on thursday when I pick it up. I really don't want to have another throttle control box . how do most guys do this? It has its own power trim and alternator but I am thinking of putting it on its own battery. I know I have options just have to find them first.

They had a lot of trailers which went very reasonable, they also had a bunch of motors most were 75-250 hp , I only stayed until I got the kicker .They had five and they all went for about 1950-2100. all the motors were new but one, full warranty too.I'm sure it lasted for at least 3 hours . Way in the back of the lot they had Milwaukee's old Fire and rescue boat. Now that would make a great fishing boat!!! just have to remove the extra plumbing. I had a wedding to attend, and the service was very short , I was 10min late and missed the service. and my Wife was pissed!!!!

My Marine dealer had an auction on saturday and I was hoping to pick up a couple of things, well just one, 2010 4 stroke 15 hp kicker. Now I just have to rig it on the boat. It should just bolt on having Power trim I shouldn't need a bracket. The only thing I am wondering about is the controls. Where to mount them and what kind should I use. I know I need a t-fitting for the fuel and a link for the steering, Does anyone know of a good place to buy controls? Should I buy a duel system or just install another control unit? Pictures will follow as I don't pick it up until Thursday , have to have the brakes replaced on my truck, rotors warped again , 2nd time in 5 months. Having almost 200 hours on the main motor this year I decided that I need a kicker, before I wear out my big motor.

how does he do this with liquid,does it get frozern first then sealed?or is it just spiced,and sealed?

We bought a food saver on ebay just to seal up the fish we caught and not get freezer burnt. S far so good, bought some bags on ebay also, they work great. We buy our burger from the butcher shop and seal it , no freezer burn, just hated to through out meat. Sealed up some tender loin with it and it was as good as the stuff we didn't freeze. We also use it to bag up smoked fish(dosn't last that long but still keeps it fresh). AS for different brands can't really help there we only have the food saver.

thats a real nice bunch of kings you got there. great job

sweet, have a few extra, sent them this way.

that water looks like what we had yesterday We came in from 200ft wide open all the way. We found fish deeper also , 150-175. Picked up 2 of them ho's yesterday. nice and silver. Good Job Josh, Nothing like having that quite time to your self out on the water.

Yea I tried hailing you on the radio this morning but no answer, didn't think I was going out that deep , just kept looking for more coho and steelhead. From what I heard on the radio and saw at the cleaning shack not much being caught . 2-3 fish was all .You might want to try those Jp Slammers from Jimbobber(Jimmy) of all the spoons I ran only one Dreamweaver spoon took a fish. You all done chartering this year? I may do a couple of trips next year, May and maybe Late June or mid july. So keep a space for my group. Like to get into the Coho and Perch in the spring.

That is from the wheel on the transducer, don't relie on that , I use my gps and my Depth raider. Gps spped was 2.4 - 2.8 Depth raider=2.1-2.2
