Re: Depthfinder not working
The 178C that I use in my aluminum boat has done that before. Tightening the connection at the unit brings it back. That boat is pretty bouncy and at times the whole unit shuts off. I've bought a new cable, but it hasn't yet annoyed me enough to make me install it.

Re: Cobia in Carrabelle
I was wondering if anyone has ever tried a 12 volt blender for making chum?

Re: Common courtesy question
I can understand how publishing numbers makes them public, but aren't unpublished numbers still public areas. Like the charter captain who let everyone know that the reef he was fishing was his. He doesn't really hold claim to that spot like he might think does, does he? I understand the courtesy pa...

Re: loose wire on fishfinder cable
looks like a mouse chewed it up a bit. Those look to be your power wires, so if it's working you've still got a good connection somehow. You can trace it to where the wires are connected to the circuit block and see what it's attached to. Maybe the broken wire isn't used. The black wire is likely th...

Re: fishing Lanark Reef
I gotcha. I fish all of those areas a lot but from SGI, family has a house on the bay. I want to start making some day trips and Lanark would be my closest ramp to that area for some inshore and nearshore fishing. Does the market offer live bait? They had lively good sized shrimps the last time I w...

Re: Need Prop Help
The right prop for your set up is the one that spins at the recommended top rpm at wide open throttle, while the boat is carrying it's normal load. If your motor is spinning the prop at top rpm before it reaches WOT, or it doesn't reach top RPM at WOT, it's harder on your motor than having the prop ...

Re: Lanark 4-27
It's a really nice place to launch and fish. We didn't go far, just to the north side of the reef. The notable thing in the report is the color of the jig. For some reason they were noticeably hot on that color. My go to color is white and yesterday they weren't interested in white at all. The yello...

Lanark 4-27
First trip ever to Lanark today with the wife. We usually hit the closest ramp which is Rock Landing, but decided to head a little west. All in all it was a very good day with a bunch of trout, macks, and even a small cobia that all wanted to eat firetiger grubs. We had live shrimp, but the grubs se...

Re: Fish Rules App
Yea I see what you mean. Good idea but useless if they don't update and have 30 species of shark but skip over specks.

Fish Rules App
http://www.fishrulesapp.com/
Free app for Android or IOS for the SE, US. Does a pretty good job of putting saltwater rules and regs at your fingertips even when there is no cell signal.

Re: Lionfish harvesting
I didn't know they vacuumed chickens, but yea they do and it's a pretty cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO5TikjZU3c
I was thinking more along the lines of the vacuums that they use in those dredges that suck up the seabed for gold.

Re: Lionfish harvesting
It's a wonder that someone hasn't come up with a system that just vacuums em up. Seems like they'd just sit there waiting their turn for that as well.

Re: Anybody read Spring Creek Chronicles and
I don't seem to recall in very much of either books where poaching was a main topic of the stories being told. One thing that I think deserves consideration is the way that the entire mind set towards natural resources has changed over the last 100 years. The thought that millions of birds were kill...
