Good Job.

Is that you in the photo? Because if it is I dont bring hippies fishing

I trail it with either a Large Zoom Chunk, or one of those creature deals, Otter, Why Not, type bait whatever. I use an off brand get them in bulk on E Bay. Its just a piece of plastic. At times the Candy Store has them in bulk nice blue and pumkinish two tones.

Thanks Lee but I cant today im down in the jungle. Come September Ill be in Okee full time we'll hook up, meet at the Grape or Ista, cant wait.

My ETech was pretty good to me I cant complain, it just started giving me problems at the end.

Everyone who owns one says the same thing. I'm looking forward to it. Im going crazy with no boat. But I'm sure all my Information Hounds on here will start calling me to go out

I knew that would pull you out of the woodwork Buddy.

Great Lake, we are so blessed to live by some of the best fisheries in the world. As to advice, look at the cover and water situation carefully calculate the position of the sun, check the baramator, temperature, wind, tatse the water for salinity, bring every lure you own........... Then go pitch black and blue jigs in the reeds.

And wont have to look back for 7 years. After years of being a faithful Evinrude owner I'm switching to Mercury. Pulled the trigger on a new ProSX 250. Haven t owned a Merc since a 25HP in 1979., hated that thing, ran great but was hard as hell to start. After a lot of shopping and research Merc has a 5 year warranty with an additional 2 that can be purchased, they also where about the most reasonable with exception of Suzuki, I wasnt ready to go that slow yet, Im not as old as FishinDaddy

Shouldn't be a problem. Make sure your engine doesn't have any stipulations on voiding warranty with any additions to the engine. If applicable.

No as long as one isn't synthetic. You think thats bad Evinrude synthetic is 39 a gallon.

Hate to be a Buzz Kill but while the the employees, I'm good friends with several of them, are very nice the stock keeps shrinking and shrinking. They did give me a good price on a new engine, but then tried to beat me up on installation. IMO Gander Mountain is getting nicer. 95 and Lakes Dr, West Palm

I saw it in person, I swear it was going to be bigger.

Its hard to prove, but its theft and Florida has a specific statute for cheating in any gaming or tournament type deal. But it would have to be witnessed by 2 people or videoed and they would have to wait for them to collect the money. I agree it isn't the norm, and it depends where the tourney is, I fished a tourney at Holiday park many years back and two guys no one knew that came out of no where weighed in 5 giants that where bone white, In Florida canal fish are never bone white however in the adjacent rock pits the fish are always bone white with just a light green hue. Floridians know what Im describing, rock pit fish stand out. I have no doubt those dudes cheated. I just put it out of mind, they;'ll pay later on no sense in worrying about things you cant control.

Those boys make a living up there on those brush piles.

I pray I never catch anyone doing that, Id wind up in prison. The sad thing is we would be probably be shocked if we knew how many times we were beat by cheaters. If I found that I would GPS it and advise the Sheriffs office, a long distance stake out on tourny day and they would be able to arrest the idiots on thefts charges as they collected there money.

Man thats a bad spot to have one, the string and press method works every time.

No same motor, I got it back from the insurance company, thats why I cant complain too much.

Negative on the warranty, just went out in February. Re power time. Its a throw away society, cost to repair would be half a new one. 8 years for an engine? It had about 400 hours, I guess for us thats about it on the big ones. I wanted it to hold out one more year, apparently Evinrudes coming out with a new one thats unreal. A friend rode in a boat with it, he said its a game changer. 20 boats South FLA. Dont forget thats a 1:00pm weigh in.

..or you can blow your engine and fish towards the ramp all day to catch winning weight and big fish. When its your day its your day....kinda.... 18lbs and Big fish at the Big O.

The Extreme?

We used to head out there when canals turned off, problem is for SFL guys its about as far as Okee maybe farther.

We have often discussed lake Trafford here with people asking how it is now. I was sent this link and found it to answer many of our questions. http://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/FLFFWCC/bulletins/acd9f9

Performance marine in Delray is excellent.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. A short search brought up the actual photo of the idiots doing it.
