Bassin and Beer
My fishing trips are always 24 hour excursions. I usually have 3 or 4 Rolling Rocks in that time. I prefer Dr.Pepper at night and ice water during the day. I take a 5 gallon water cooler full of ice & water and never run out no matter how hard we hit it.

WHO MADE ALL THOSE RECORDS: BEHIND THE SOUL SOUND
Bob Osborn ( or is it Jim Osborn?) played bass on nearly everything Hal Blaine played on. What a rhythm section! Leon Russel is probably the #2 piano session man, laid down tracks with Frank Sinatra!

striper lure question?
I also use Storm Wild-Eye Swim Shad, 4" in shad color. For a hard bait, I use a Husky Cisco Kid. This is really a musky lure, @ 8" long, and silver scale finish.Dives to 2 15-20'. Good Luck.

Gas tank woes
I have some similar problems with my 1967 Evinrude Starflite 80 hp. I have done all the things you have done. Found a loose fuel connection there fuel line attaches to fuel pickup on tank, and my glass fuel filter cartridge wasn't screwed together tightly. Now I can't get it to idle. No matter how I adjust the low speed jet screws, once the rpm drops, the motor sputters, or backfires , and dies. It will run at higher rpm, but not at idle speed.??????????????

My outboard is driving me nuts
My motor symptoms have been very similar to yours. I've always used Sta-Bil marine in my gas mix. I've seen many posts on here about Sea-Foam, is it that much better? Is it an ethanol treatment like Sta-Bil or Star-Tron? My motor is a 1967 Evinrude 80hp. What's yours? I have a 1971 johnson 50 hp electric shift. I was just planning on using one treatment (16oz) and then be done with it until i noticed a problem come back. I am not one to say it is better or worse or the same. I have only used seafoam thus far and i dont mix anything now but my johnson/evinrude brand oil to gas. Check these sites out. http://www.mastercraft.com/teamtalk/showthread.php?t=4681 http://www.seafoamsales.com/motor-treatment/index.html Thanks for the link to the SeaFoam site. I'm going to add it to my fuel and usr the Deep Creep as well before I work on the carb this week. Thanks to all for tips, hints, & advice.

My outboard is driving me nuts
This question could have saved me many headaches and a good bit of money several years ago. The bulb had deteriorated just enough so that after a few minutes of full throttle it would begin to clog and restrict flow. Good luck. It seems to be fine, but they are inexpensive. I guess I'll replace it.

My outboard is driving me nuts
I bought a new plastic Tempo, but I still use my old steel tank as it is clean and rust free inside and nearly all the responders to my old post said to just keep it unless there was an obvious problem. Tempo makes many sizes and shapes. Go to their website and I'm sure you will find a replacement if you choose to go that route.

Tranny cooler
The fluid can never be too cool. Upgrade one size larger than you think you need and your transmission will be happy.

Sit or stand?
I stand when casting artificals for bass & crappie, sit when bait fishing for stripers or catfish.

Rowing a Bass Boat sucks
In the lakes around Phoenix a cell phone is worthless. I have a VHF radio. Hail on channel 16 and you get a tow boat. With a BoatU.S .membership and the upgrade to unlimited towing, the bill is $0. The cost is @ $60 annualy . www.boatus.com.

At the very least, make sure all your fuel line connections are absolutely tight. My motor's been running like crap for a while now, and I found two loose connections in the fuel line. The clamp where the hose connects to the fuel pickup on the tank, and my glass fuel filter wasn't screwed together tightly. Now I need to do some carb jet adjustments and/or carb rebuild. My motor is a 1967 Evinrude Starflite 80hp.

Trim/tilt on 85 hp Force. Pump rebuild kit???? Or????
I used to catch sturgeon on the Red River when I was in the Air Force in Shreveport Louisiana. Wow! They are really powerful. Smallmouth are great fighters . Have fun! Yeah, I'd love that cool weather. I absolutely hate the summers here, but the winters are great. I think I found a good mechanic. He gave me another tip for working on my carb. If that doesn't work I'll take it to him to work on. Either way I plan to be ready for the striper tournement at Lake Pleasant 8-22-09. Later bud.

Not me, and my last time out (2 weeks ago) it was 116 degrees. I do have a bimini top for shade though.

They were part of a felony conspiracy that resulted in a death. Mandatory murder charge. Good to get this p.o.s. out of the gene pool.

Who's going to sign Mike Vick?
Don't you have to have a criminal record to play for the Dallas Cowboys? ;DThere's a perfect match. The only game I ever rooted against the Steelers was last years superbowl against my Cardinals. One of my parent's best friends when I was growing up was a Steelers physician so I got to know most of the 70's team personally 8-). If they sign Vick I will never root for them again. >
