    Fish finders

    :) A large part of fishing is the anticipation , and ones ability to use ones acquired skill and knowledge to influence the outcome to some degree. When Im spinning for trout ( chuck n chance ) I dont just chuck the lure randomly , Im looking for fishy spots and there is local knowledge , and...

    Fish finders

    I have a Lowrance Hook reveal 9ts which I do make good use of in the sea but I haven't yet used it in fresh water looking for fish , I do use the side & down scans to spot underwater trees and branches so I can navigate my lures past them ........ being that most of the local lakes have at...

    Fish finders

    Sometimes when the bite aint so good I gets to thinkin that I dont mind if the fish are there but just not biting , I dont like the idea I am unwittingly fishing in a place where there are no fish .......now that is a waste of time , but how would you know for sure. The sitting in a tree...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Sadly I dont see many at all . Usually I see them either diving of flying back up , but as you allude to , as soon as you pay them attention they move off. I dont recall ever seeing two together . We had one that hung around long enough to empty the goldfish pond , they can scoff a 4 inch goldfish😲

    Ha , Im trying to think of a bird we would both be familiar with ...... got nothing . If you got it to cooperate and laid it out Id say from tail tip to beak tip would be about 8 inches . This one was sitting on overhead wires above a bit of swamp and was dropping down and picking off tadpoles.

    Fuel Tank incorrectly labelled?

    I cant really see the point in floaty type fuel level sensors on something rolling about . You do sorta get used to it , when my gauge is waving between 1/4 and 3/4 I know there's about 1/2 a tank . I betcha these fuel level sensors have led more peeps into trouble than they have helped . I...

    Boat performance

    yes it will fly when up on the plane , but you gotta get there 1st and being as how getting out of the hole has a very different ideal trim setting than on the plane so without power trim to adjust as you go you have to compromise . I would trim it down as far as you can and see if it...

    Boat performance

    Yeah , or lacking power for some other reason , I cant help thinking that with 25hp it should leap out of the water , but if you have 25hp pushing the back end down maybe not so much :)
