    Honda BF 150 overheat alarm

    This is a new one for me. It has been difficult to diagnose this issue. Started a month or so ago with the starboard motor. ONLY when accelerating out of the hole will I get an alarm. If I very slowly bring the boat up to speed there is a chance that it wont come on... I checked the paperwork...

    Tarpon Springs Florida Grouper!

    Well, ElDiablo (32 Yellowfin, F350's)is certainly proving to be a little more than adequate as a middlegrounds fishing machine.... Capt Eric Mantzke, friends John and Debby as well as the wife and I made the trek out offshore yesterday morning. We left from the Hudson public ramp after picking...

    Capt. Rick..!!

    Well, been gone for awhile as I contemplated whether r not to go for my USCG OUPV Captains license.... Retirement was getting a little too dull, even though I seem to keep my plate full. Over the past several years I have taken lots of folks offshore and done a fair amount of fishing. Usually...

    Meat grinder to use grinding of fish while on the water(chumming)?

    Re: Meat grinder to use grinding of fish while on the water(chumming)? We catch some pretty decent sized fish, usually grouper. We save and grind up the carcass. So I bought one of these last year from HF using a 25% off coupon. I have about $100 in it. Just hose it down when done. It has been...

    Fishing the Elbow, Jan 30 Florida West Coast

    We've had some lousy weather conditions the past few weeks that have made it impossible to go out and enjoy a nice day of fishing. So when i got the call from Gordo this week planning this trip I was all over it. As usual, we left Ft. Desoto park in southern Pinellas county around 7:00. Forum...
