    Usually frozen sea baits , the odd small live bait but lures Sean to be growing fast if your wandering the banks

    Replaced 2 water pump impellers, changed oil and filter on the four stroke, and changed gear oil in both motors today. All my maintenance is done for another year......I'm ready for the lake to open up for fishing in January.:thumbs::seasoned:

    How was the impeller changes? Much trouble? I’ve heard it can be a p.i.t.a to get things lined back up

    It's not much of a job at all, there are videos that make it easy. I got the impellers on Ebay for $15. each..... I had a quote of $180. for each motor.

    Speaking of impellers, I've got a 5hp Merc 2 stroke in perfect shape I need to sell. Anyone around LI area interested let me know, I'm not going to ship it. These things (the 2 strokes) are like GOLD right now, nobody wants the 4 strokes that have 2/3rds the power, and are almost twice as heavy. ;)

    Just pulled my boat out a few weeks ago. I mostly bass fish (large&smallmouth), with some pike here and there. This time of year when the boat is away is when I hit the streams for steelhead and browns. 20171104_173105.jpg
