That's horrible....Them bastards really know how to go for the heart. Hope they catch em.

I've got an alpha 1 lower unit sitting in the garage if anyone needs to try it out, let me know. Its got a brand new ss skeg guard with 30min on it.

Was a nice day for fishing yesterday, great job.

Keep on Keepin On.....Nice work!

Wow, the mothership of Sea Rays. Nice ship sir Boltman.

Nice Ray!

Congrats on the engagement Tom, nice day of fishing too. Sounds like you had a great trip.

Nice work Jarod, I'll be out there with you soon..Boat is going BACK in tomorrow!

Nice to hear the boat ran good! It won't be long and Chloe will be standing ontop of a pile of fish on a picture.

Thanks for the trip Jarod, it was nice to get back on the lake again. The new boat works great for catching fish!!

I have the hinge pin tool, send me a pm if you need to borrow it. I would not use an allen wrench for this job could get nasty otherwise.

I'm half rippin the cover off my boat as we speak.

. If you like to fish for smallmouth that is still great.

I fished for smallmouth in this area and was the best I have ever experienced. The country side is also very beautiful in that area, Vacation Approved!

Very cool, nice work Tony

Bio: Been fishing on Lake Michigan since a wee lad. Love to go out fun fishing as much as possible but enjoy the tournaments for the excitement. I get the most fun taking people out that have never been salmon fishing before or helping someone learn the sport. I am an engineer so its my nature to always tweek the spread and presentation and figure out how and why something works. If your fishing out of South Haven give the 2UNREEL a shout on 68, always willing to give and take info.

careful with wing nuts they could work loose and ruin your day.

Received a report of some kings spawning on the PM last week. He says they were kings. I would call that pretty late and messed up. Despite the warm water, fishing was great last year possibly better for me. The fish will be around for quite some time, they just might change their habits.

Last year the Silver Streak Sponge Bob was rockin the late afternoon evening bite.

If you mean a few bugs by letting people deaviate from the rules you have set than you have a lot of bugs to work out. I am sorry to have to say this but if you let someone weigh fish after the check in time of the rules you set you are leting them cheat. This is no different than any other tournament rules. You let boats weigh in past the weigh time and the stole money from the other boats that followed the rules and did what the rules said. Rules are rules and if anyones a critic of them it is you. Reguardsless of being a fun tournament there are rules in place. If you truely want a fun tournament than make no rules otherwise you are condoning cheating by letting people break rules, and more than once....

Back in the day I knew a guy with an RDF(Radio Directional Finder). Not sure how it works for sure but I remember using it in a heavy fog to determine location. I think the coast guard uses these or use to. Boat names are often duplicated and that sucks but to give bad info on a severe storm is murder.

It was a great trip, and a HUGE thanks to Captain Chip for the great time. Its amazing to come together with great people from up and down the lake who share common interests. There never is a dull moment and always something new to learn about someone or something. This is the kind of thing that promotes our sport and if anyone gets a chance to take someone else fishing from another port or another state I would highly recommend it. I can tell you one thing those walleye guys will give you one heck of a workout......non-stop action. A big thanks to Terry for the quick tour of the Detroit ghetto and getting us home safe

(correction)That Silver Streak mini mixed veggie is permanetly attached to my 3 color. I had fun watching Jarod reel in that dandy greaser. Most of all the boat was running again and I am a quarter way through the new drive break in.

I highley doubt it is gear ratio. The gear ratio would not make a 75% decrease in wot . I would look to make sure you have not spun a hub in your prop. Also the new (used) lower unit could be cavitating from exhaust around the diameter of the prop housing if it is worn. Does your prop mate up nice and tight? Also due to age of the ouboard you may have an ignition issue with the points. My 2 cents

I am with you.....believe me. This year our boats are heavy on the pocket book. The fish will appreciate the nice work done.
