I haven't fished near the firecracker yet this year. My brothers are out right now and they are saying it is really muddy. If you are going to fish south on sat. I would try windmil pt. and the delphine chan. But if the water doesnt clean up it may be tough fishing. I think I am going to give the bay a try since I haven't fished it yet this year but if it is muddy then I am going to move. Good luck Jenga

I have been fishing lSC the last couple of weeks. I would suggest you to fish deep. The males are on beds at the mile roads. I am fishing Anchor bay on sat. Black Skeeter. Jenga

I was there on Thursday this week. I took out some friends who never caught a smallie in their life and wanted to get them on the fish. So I brought some golden shiners, we caught 26 in four hours. My brother was there on tue. and caught 26 by himself in 4hrs. It is a fantastic fishery. We caught a lot on tubes (gold copper with purple flake), minnows and jerkbaits (LC pointer ghost and pearl). With this new moon on Thursday it should really heat up. Jenga

I was thinking of buying the revo sx with the 6.4 to 1 ration for a cranking reel do you think that is a good reel for cranking and I would like to know what a good rod for cranking is. ie. manufacture, length and sensitivity. Thanks, Jenga

I have a water seperator on my boat and don't know if I metioned it but the boat is a 93. I would think that the vent would have a check valve. Is this a common thing to have on the fuel vent. I know it is not bad gas and there was a ton of water in my gas tank. I was fishing in 3 footers on lake st. clair, which is normaly where I fish. I need to figure something out so this doesn't happen again. Thanks, Jenga

Fishfordollars, I know it is not bad gas. I use treatment all the time plus I just put in 10 gallons of gas. I only put gas in that I know I will use for the day. I have a water seperator on my boat. My mechanic metioned about putting a loop in the vent and putting new gaskets on the gas cap. Thanks for the advice. Jenga

Had major problems on opening day--Can you believe the bass gods would curse me like that? Fished for only about 2 hours at most before engine would not run. Eventually made it back to launch-thanks to trolling motor. North Bay marine pumped some serious water out of our fuel. We are not sure if it is coming in through the gas fill cap area or through the vent. We have a 93 skeeter 200dx. Anyone else have a similar situation? The gas fill cap is above transom on back--how stupid was the boat builder that designed that? Why not make it so the gas fill spot is located along sides of boat. The vents are on the side but it seems to me that waves could still hit it and water could be running down the vent line too. Need to figure out something to modify this. I suggest to NB marine to just reroute the vent line to into the boat somewhere. Doug said not a good idea with gas fumes into the boat. I told him I really don't care where it vents but I need it somewhere water won't get into easily. Anyone else out there with a skeeter have any ideas? Brand new gas today so I know it wasn't ethenol. Thanks, Jenga

I just saw the skeet reese rods at Bass Pro. Just wondering if any of you have owned one and what you thought of them. I am thinking of buying the crankbait rod. Thanks, Jenga

Yep cant wait to take you out Bass Afishinado. We will be launching at crocker not the bay. Doesn't look like strong winds but better bring rain gear. Jenga

If you would of done a search this topic was discused already a few days ago. Jenga

I heard that I should use either the trilene knot or the palomar knot for floro did I hear correctly. Thanks, Jenga

Ok now we know how to rig the fluke how do we fish the fluke. I am new to using a fluke but thought it should be fished like a jerkbait. Is this true or do you reel and give a few twitches like one would with a crankbait. Thanks for the advice. Jenga

Why would anyone pay 15k for a new motor on a 93 boat that is only worth 5k. Replace power head for 5k and save extra the 10 you would of spent. Jenga

I feel your pain man. I had my motor sieze up due to lack of oil because the oil injector broke. 2 months after I bought it. I put in a brand new power head and disabled the oil injection. I spent 6k to fix but now it runs perfectly and it is like a brand new motor. I also thought about buying a used motor but decided against cuz then you still don't know what you are getting. I would also look into seeing if your insurance would cover it mine did. If I were you I would replace but try to use some of the parts off broken motor. Like the regulators. Also if you pay cash many times you can get it cheaper. I am sorry this happened to you I know what it feels like. Try to find a great mechanic. Jenga

I use it all the time on Lk. St. Clair. Get a 6ft rope and tie it to the drift sock then tie the rope to the boat. They will slow your drift down really well. Jenga

I put my boat in for the first time to break in the engine. I just got a new power head assembly. when I was driving it water would drip out on my leg just underneath the steering wheel but stop when the motor was turned off. Can anyone tell me what that could be. Thanks, Jenga

Im using seguar invizx floro in 8# test. I have the new curado 207 caster and shimano symetry 2500 for my spinning. what should I do. Thanks, Jenga

I am going to give Floro a try this year. Just wondering because it is expensive should I use a monofilament backing on my spinning and casting reels or should I just tie it on. Thanks, Jenga

If I give my batteries a full charge in the fall by spring will they still have their full charge or do they lose while sitting. Thanks, Jenga

Is the cowling the hood of the motor and can I wax the prop. Thanks, Jenga

I just got done washing and waxing my boat. But I didnt know if I could wax the engine and the hood. If anyone could tell me if I can wax the hood that would be great. Thanks, Jenga

I have never fished for smallies near bass Islands but I fish Lk. St. Clair all the time. I have also fished Lk. Erie but in PA. I don't know when you can fish for bass in Ohio but I would go when you see the water temps in the mid 50's the smallies will be in their spawning stage and should be easy to get into. I like to throw LC pointers, xraps, tubes, cranks and spinnerbaits. One of those lures should catch you fish during that time. Hope you have fun. Good Luck, Jenga

I have 2 rods one baitcaster and one spinning. I usually use a snap swivle so I can change lures quickly. I want to use floro but I know that it dosn't hold its knot strength very well. What knot should I use and should I use a snap swivle or not. Thanks, Jenga

I have a fiberglass boat and I live on a dirt road. I would like to know how and what to use to clean my boat. Should I take it to a power washer or just use my hose and dish soap. Also can you tell me what kind of wax I should use and how to clean my prop. Thanks, Jenga

What if I bought an on board marine charger would it be ok for me to still use my old regulators and if the starter bat doesn't get a full charge from the engine then my charger will do it. Or should I just replace the regulators and the onboard marine charger. thanks, Jenga
