Re: Targeting Flounder

Geofish, All those places you stated are great spots for flounder all season. The randomness in your hooks ups may be in the presentation or they way you handle the fight. Focus on keeping your jig in contact with the bottom with a retrieve speed to help you stay there. If you have current allow the...

Outboard Diagnosis

I was just looking at your repair of the fuel line and also noticed no clamps on 2 of the connections. I'm glad Steve noticed it first! :wink: Clamps got put on this morning. Outboard runs fine on the top end but now she doesn’t like to idle. After reading old forum post on sea foam, I decided to g...

Re: St. Marks

Bilge wasnt working but what caused the water to get in the boat? Not sure . . . . Owner wasn’t sure either. At least he was close in. That would be a bad feeling half way to K tower!

Ideal fishing conditions for Apalachee Bay

PhishingNole, You never know unless you go.. Waiting for conditions to be “right” will have you spending a lot of time at home. Ideal to a fish is not always ideal and comfortable for the angler. Don’t get caught up on all the details. They play their part but should not be the reason you fish or do...

Outboard Diagnosis

I have seen two inboard / outboard boats burn because the engine compartment wasn't vented properly prior to starting. I didn't want you to be the first one to pull this stunt off with an outboard motor. :-D No doubt.. good looking out. I finished firefighting and advanced firefighting school in th...

Re: Outboard Diagnosis

I know this is a pain in the arse - but are those hose connections each side of the brass elbow okay without clamps? The last thing you need is a small leak and gas fumes building up under your cowling. Especially with the previously mentioned cracked spark plug wires and all..... - Steve Stinson G...

Outboard Diagnosis

Neither of my current filters have the inspection bowl and can't be drained using a petcock. Order-No 7-0846 M...

Outboard Diagnosis

Took the skiff out this afternoon and ran her... I believe I fixed the issue. She ran like a top... or like a two stroke because I sucked up all the fun juice before dark.

Thank y’all for the input.
