    '97 25hp Johnson deadman switch

    I seem to have a bit of a quandary on my hands. The safety device that prevents my little Johnson (yeah, I said it) from starting in gear is acting rather janky. This lever pointed out should drop down in neutral but doesn't. It is model # J25teeum and I have searched online for the part...

    Invasive species

    I'm constantly making the remark that, if I go chasing New River smallies this time of year, I just want one bite. Water temp 40, air temp 38, high, clear flow, pre-weather front. Wrong species.

    Almost didn't go...

    Got out for a bit yesterday to a river that was a wee bit high and wee bit milky colored. Had a hard time finding them, but a handful showed themselves. This was one, a 21.5" fighter.

    Labor Day Week

    Had a few close friends and like-minded yahoos spend a week with me chasing bronzebacks on the New in VA. Lots of fish up to 18" were caught, but this was the star of the week. My friend pictured here is a true river rat and for him to catch his personal best on my watch.....PRICELESS! An...

    Next generation

    The wife and I went to pick up the youngest grand daughter and hang out today. I threw some rods and lures in the truck, ya know, just in case..... Anyways, we went to a public spot on the New, my idea was to let her cast to her hearts content. Also, time for a move from spin cast to spinning...

    SS Liar's Club, revisited

    This is going to be a multi-part post on my part. I just ain't got it in me to do it all at once. So..... I had Jim take down the thread on my build because botophuket thought that they owned my (our) pics. Well, seems now with their new ownership, my move was in vain. I apologize to anyone...

    On board charger/maintenance to charge

    Hope I get some help here....I just purchased two 29 series batteries and hooked them (parallel) to my onboard charger, same as it has been done for a lotta years. The lights keep changing from maintenance to charge and back. Not at any rapid pace, but I keep going back to see what's lit several...

    Two 12v. in parrallel/single bank charger/selector switch

    I'm going to make this as convoluted as possible, with very little effort on my part. :shock: I want to be able to switch between two 12 v. batteries on the water, but still charge with a single bank charger. I'm running two 29DC series in parallel to a MK 55 Endura. I have a Cabelas single...

    DAILY RANT:PART DEAUX

    I waited a bit for WV1951 to start a thread, as this was actually his idea. What gets under your skin as far posts go? Here are some of mine, although I'm guilty of one or two. X2 /\ /\ /\ Sent from my ePhone using SlapaJack I'll post a pic up when I get home (and never does). Then & than...

    BotoPhuket fix...kinda

    The whole world knows by now what a bunch of picwads botophuket is by now. I am sharing how to skirt the issue, at least for the moment. One really doesn't need to be very tech savy to do this. I've used Firefox a long time, like it very well. Was never a fan of IE. Chrome is ok, nothing...

    Unexpected sights

    Have you ever gone fishing, only to find yourself stopping to take pics of "interesting" roadside finds? Here's a couple of mine:

    02 28 2018

    Got out today with my ex-boss on the New. Water temp was 50, air temp was 44-46, with showers. I despise having this happen, but my first cast was a 24" muskie. I refuse to pose with these invasive slime rockets, so my friend, for fun, wanted to. He wants to have some fun with another of our...

    circa 1970's sounder

    I've got a Jetco depth sounder/flasher that has to be from the earliest days of fish finders. It is called portable and I don't know what it came with, but I took pics of what I have. Hooked it up to a battery and had the red flashing things come on. I don't know what to ask for it, but I'll...

    Jon or V or Mod V

    I was not going to highjack scoobeb's post-"V bottom jon boat vs flat bottom", but there seems to me to be a slight discretion of what we call our tinnies. I have fished and owned all of these in my life and this is what I've called each body style. Have I been calling these the wrong thing...

    Old guys & square bills

    In my best Will Smith from Men in Black; "Hey, old guys". Before the "modern" era of squarebill crankbaits, does anyone remember a crankbait that had a square bill or a reasonably squarebill? Currently: I've actually got one in mind, but I don't want to sway the replies>

    No, I never get bored.....

    I was looking a while back at the myriad of novelty jump drives and got to thinking, man, I need to personalize one for myself. My Silverado has a USB port that I use for tunes, so the home is there. Here's the new tenant.
