  1. Got it done on Friday the 13th in zone 10. Happy to have kids that want to come out and help me drag. sam
  2. The internet is ruining fishing. Rather ironic to post that on an internet message board, but its true. Sam
  3. I wear an inflatable on the boat. I if I was kayak fishing I would probably go with a foam floatation type vest. sam
  4. Beautiful pup! I'll keep an eye out for him pointing quahogs next spring. sam
  5. If its a rod that I'm casting with and the knot will be coming in and out of the guides on most cats I will replace it all. For a bottom rod I'll go uni-to-uni and top it off with fresh line. If its something you want to plan for, then use hollow core braid. That way if it breaks you can splice in new line with no knot and as close to 100% of line strength as possible. Sam
  6. Its a banded rudder fish, aka the white perch of August and September. sam
  7. It's on a kit my 7 year old nephew has. I'm not using it, just curious about the point. sam
  8. Can anyone tell me why there is a sharpened point on the bobber? It's covered by the piece of tubing. sam
  9. One thing I've been doing recently for fluke that should work really well from shore is throwing a gulp shad on a drop shot rig. I saw some guys doing this for halibut in the CA surf and figured fluke would respond to it as well. I was correct about that assumption. sam
  10. Pretty work!. I caught my first in Buzzards Bay a few weeks ago. Pretty cool to catch fish that we basically thought were gone. Sam
  11. If your searching for bass I would nose hook them and slow troll them around structure. Its been a long time since I fished near Niantic, but I would probably start near Black Point and then check some other likely spots. If they are not in tight, try working some of the reefs in the area. You can add a weight if needed to get them down deeper. sam
  12. If you are fluke fishing then drop a bucktail under those bait balls. Fluke don't really mark well, as they are usually plastered to the bottom. I have some shallow water fluke areas and when the bait is balled up I will chase birds as the fluke are usually with the bait. sam
  13. That is a very pleasing shape you have created. Now put on a ****ing mask. sam
  14. I'm way late on this, so hopefully you have already sorted this out. I have a 150 of the same vintage and the fuel system has a priming function. When you turn the key switch from off to engine on (not turned hard to crank) there is a lift pump that primes the fuel system. To check for this choose a quiet time, remove the cowling, and turn the key switch to on. You should be able to hear the pump humming for about 15 seconds. Even if I have not run the boat in 2 or 3 weeks I don't pump the fuel bulb. I just cycle the key 4 or 5 times and she fires right up. sam
  15. You have a leak, need to bleed the system, or both. The air bubble is someplace in the hydraulic lines or cylinder, which is why the system won't take anymore oil. sam
