    gold fish

    I have read several post about using gold fish for bait on trotlines, limblines, ect. Sounds like it works good. Where do you get them, a pet store? I don't recall seeing them at a bait shop.

    About a month ago I rebuilt the carb on my 1964 5.5 hp Johnson. All went well. I took it out today on the lake and the idle problem is a little worse than than I thought. It wants to die when you put in the shift mode. You can keep it running by shifting then quickly give her some gas. I...
