    Catch Of The Day!!!

    Anyone have experience with Genie garage door wired Keypads?

    I have a genie garage door opener and a wired keypad outside. All of a sudden the keyad stopped working. Any ideas? I don't think it's batteries, since it's wired. The power went off the other day. Maybe something in it got fried? The garage door still works, but the keypad doesn't. Ideas...

    Water heater making a weird noise....

    Hey, Just changed the thermal coupler on our water heater and after turning the gas off, getting it back in and going again, it's making a sizzling type noise. Like water dripping on a hot pan or fire. It actually sounds like a slow drip. I don't hear water dripping, but the rhythm or the sizzle...

    Anyone ever try a dropshot in a river?

    I know people use them in lakes and I've heard of people using them surf fishing. I've seen people use those rubber shad like baits in my local brackish river when trolling or just casting for striper. Anyone ever try a dropshot in a river? thanks

    What are your favorite fishing shows or magazines?

    My brother got me an "In Fisherman" subscription for Christmas and I've been watching their shot on the Sportsman Channel on Directv (ch: 605). I like it ok but don't have much to compare anything too. What do you watch or read?

    when's the last time you turned your boat around?

    I went out today with my brother to go crabbing. The wind picked up as we hit the end of the channel and the rolls got really rough. We went around the end of the jetty and headed to our normal spot. Usually the wind gets rougher as the day goes on, and it was really bad out there. I didn't want...

    California Crabbing Questions???

    Well, I read the section on the DFG-Cali website and wasn't 100% sure on some stuff still. Hopefully someone can help me here. How many pots can be dropped per person in California? I've never kept a female dungeness, but a guy said if they're keeper size, you can take them. True? False? I...

    Anyone watch the movie "Rivers of a Lost Coast" ???

    Just finished watching it. Great little film on the history of northern California coast fly fishing. I live about 25 minutes from the Russian River (which is one of the rivers covered in the movie) and have never fished it. I work with a guy who lives on the river and he's trying to get me into...

    Not having a fishing buddy sucks!

    Not having a fishing buddy sucks! All of my friends either work on the weekend or have 1-2 kids. I'll have a kid in February, so I'm trying to get out as much as possible, but I have nobody to go with. Sitting here at home with a boat ready to go, bait ready, rods ready, lures, crab pots...

    Do you need to use a special carpet for the rails on a trailer?

    after I get this out, what do I put back in?

    looks like some braided line and a small stringer or something. I figure I can just pop off the wheel and get it off, maybe not, I really don't know, that's the way it looks...but it's packed in there with grease just like the other side. What type? I'm guessing it's something stupid like "axel...

    Properly flushing a motor

    Possibly stupid question.... I was reading the manual for my motor and it said every time I take the motor out into salt water I need to flush it with fresh water, which I do. I actually do it when I run in regular fresh water also just because it makes me feel better for some reason. But, the...

    does this make sense? drilling out something in the carb?

    I took my motor in and dropped it off at a shop last night. The guy said the same thing everyone here said...carb cleaning. Said it would run about $100-$175. ($90 per hour and 1 to 1 1/2 hours on it.) But then he said there was a carb adjusting thing on the motor that you couldn't get to and he...

    Cleaning a carb with an overdose of carb/fuel system cleaner???

    I was talking with a guy on another boat tech forum and he said sometimes with people have a varnished carb causing problems they use a 10x dose of something like a Chevron with Techron fuel system cleaner. He said it takes a long time and I may have to run through a few tanks of gas over...
