I like sayers but it is a tough lake to fish.. I like fishing weeds in the summertime along with the man made structure.. Buddy of mine caught a huge musky last summer on a 1 dollar walmart spinnerbait..

Got the package on Thursday. It was in great shape.. I got my takes and puts and was going to mail them out.. But the server has been down since thursday and I couldn't access MontySS's Address in my PM box until this evening.. I will post pictures tomorrow and send it out first thing on Monday! Was everyone as bored as me the last few days w/o these forums being up and running??

did the ball go out of play? If so the runner should only advance one base.. If the ball stayed in play.. ie. hit the fence.. the runner can keep going.. but if the ball goes out of play they should NOT have kept running..

Okuma Trio..

I fish raystown a few times of year.. where are you from in PA? I live in Morrisdale.. and go to school in Slippery Rock.. Welcome to the boards!

That should work!

great advice!

I had a fishing tournament this past weekend and no one got any bites.. the fishing was horrible.. After thinking about it, I wish I would've thrown some smaller baits.. such as roostertails or mr twisters..

I'll be watching!

sounds great.. i will be looking for it!

Anyone ever use one of these? I can get one off a guy for 40$.. just looking for some opinions on it..

Motor is a 1990.. Lookin for a used one or if anyone knows where I could get one cheap.. Heard it doesn't matter what pitch or whatver on a 1990 40hp Merc..

A membership to FOM.. and attend the meeting and registration the night before the tourneys. and a 160 dollar entree fee per team

yep it will be good for anything.. get a 7' M or 7'MH rod and you'll be all set..

Im not too sure.. We haven't taken it out yet.. Its a 15ft boat.. I am guesing a 10 or 11ft cable.. but I wont know until i take it off..

Thanks man! If we get stuck I will definitely hit you up on that.. I wish I was more mechanically inclined.. My dad is a mechanic but doesn't have any experience with boats.. so it should be interesting.. Hopefully just a new cable will have it steering like new..

sweet... FYI.. there is a Fishers of Men tourney at Raystown this weekend..

we are going to give it a try.. it just happened saturday and i have 3 mos til my next tourney.. so not in a huge hurry.. just lookin for some opinions..

Don't know if anyone can help diagnose this or not.. Last couple summers my steering has been very VERY tight.. me and my dad took it a part the last 2 years and lubed it up and the steering was managable... went out last weekend and the steering was really really tight.. still was usable though.. well on saturday (morning of my tourney) i backed boat off the trailer and started the motor.. it was so stiff i couldnt hardly turn it... I ended up turning it as hard as i could and something gave loose.. the wheel just spins freely.. Im thinkin i may have snapped the steering cable... I needed one anyways but my question is this.. do i need the whole system (176 on BPS website) or do i need just a new steering cable (about 30 bucks) My boat is a 1990 procraft 15ft... motor is same year 40hp Merc... any help would be very appreciated!!!

I love chartruese shad for smallies... get american shad and aurora black too..

I am guessing that the message is for trout only.. You wouldnt think they could shut the whole lake down do you?

A guy here at work was there last Tues. and showed me photos of the lake. I thought it was odd that you guys were having a tourney with the levels that low, but I thought maybe they'd close the spillway and let it fill up... Guess they didn't! I'm wondering about Black Mo myself... I might make that the first lake I hit this season. Just got a text back from a buddy of mine.. he said that Black Mo is ice free!

started out at 38.. got up to 41-42 around 1:30 when I was leaving... Last weekend temps were ~43.. And not sure.. I haven't been around there for 2 weeks... I am guessing it is though.. I will text a friend and ask..

No clue why but last week when i was at Sayers it was 3 ft over summer pool.. for some reason over the last week they dropped the water levels by at least 15ft and it was down to winter pool again.. that killed the bite... 8 guys showed up for the tourney and no one even got a nibble!! Needless to say we all finished first and last and received our money back haha!

i have a few that i got from my pap.. never used them though..
