Dicks may aquire Sports Authority
Years ago Dicks considered a segment of their business to target female buyers only. But for some reason it didn`t fly? I think it had something to do with the name We have but one Dicks store within my range and they really don`t see me there much,but I wish them the best.

Problem: Starter, Battery, Spark Plugs, or Other?
Look at the starter when you try to start.It sounds like the bendix is not kicking in properly ,hence the grinding + the screeching may be coming from the starter with dry bearings.Try some light oil lube or dry lubricant on the Bendix shaft.Just a tad

From "not great" to worse (outboard impeller problems)
The 22058 is silicon [no oil].As far as lubing the impeller,that is not necessary at all.

From "not great" to worse (outboard impeller problems)
I use this silicon grease on just about all gaskets ,bolts ,nuts ,linkage ect. A coating of the grease allows gaskets to be re used many times. Great for thermostat housings too.10 years now and never any negative effects. Available at most auto stores.

From "not great" to worse (outboard impeller problems)
If your impeller has failed and come apart in pieces you might do well to remove the pisser tube fitting from the block after new pump is in.That may allow any pieces to flush out that would not go thru the tube.btdt fwiw. mud dauber bees often clog pee tubes

When do you change your outboards lower unit lube: Beginning of Season or End of Season?
What is this winterizing yall speak of.Kidding. I seldom do it because its 12 months of use for me. I check the color of the oil periodically and usually change it once a year. Maybe twice if its leaking. To echo others, fall would be the right time,but honestly,I have never seen or heard of a cracked LU because of freezing. Anyone?

Northern Pike unhooking tips
I always have a jaw spreader on board when in toothy critter country. Also I use a pokie stick more than pliers anymore. Mine are hand made aluminum flat bars with a slot cut into the tapered end. Its about a foot long.Put the hook shank in the slot,push and twist. https://www.google.com/search?q=pic+fish+jaw+spreader&biw=1120&bih=577&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjO5cjd4qPNAhWF7SYKHZutBPMQsAQIQQ

Pre electronics bass fishing
Often the Corp O E would and still does the winter draw downs sometime as much as 50' on flood control lakes. That is a good time to collect lures and information on structure. We used to take pictures which had to be developed to hard copies on paper. Wow how far have we come.

Do any of u east coast guys fish shad in the river? My frustrations continue...
The water I fish is very fast and deep.The shad seem to like the current seams and back eddies. I throw one inch twisters ,various colors ,on a 1/8 oz head. To get the distance and depth I use an inline sinker from 1/2 to 1 oz about 2 to 3 feet above the bait.Just toss it and let the current sweep it along without much motion. Maybe a little stroke here and there. Sometime they get crazy on the colors so keep switching to find the majic Hope this helps

Fishermans Anti-Harassment Law
I know of a charter capt here on the east coast that was fined $350 for violating the "impeding lawful fishing" law. Seems he was ticked about another charter that was fishing "his" spot in the Del bay,and he launched a rig along side the other boat and snagged all the lines. A certain guy on a tide river absolutely hates bass fishermen.He was on shore and I threw a jig his way that landed 10' from shore and 50' from him. He pronounced that to be assault so I reminded him that the number to call was 911. It was my first and last encounter with him. Best to all during this Memorial Day and a deep heart felt thank you to all who serve our country past and present. C22
