Status: offline 		I got a hard desicion to make for this weekend, go to Pymy for walleyes or to Arthur for crappies. I think I can catch some crappie at Arthur, but I am torn between the 2 choices. Any suggestions, I'm thinkning the lake (Arthur) is still alittle cold for the spots I usually do good for crappie in, I think I could still catch em, but not in any numbers. Thanks Jim

I did put the little smiley face guy winking in there to show that I was just joking, but when we are hidden behind computers and one cannot see facial expressions or hear tones of voice, I guess things can be misunderstood. 
I was just trying to make a joke. 
Mea culpa.

New people ask a question or make a statement, and guy's give them some crap. Which I realize now that you were not! Good fish'n.

Status: offline 		     Well, went to Arther, had a good day, lost a big crappie, my guess 14-15", wind had too much slack in my line. Buddy also lost a nice one, put 2 in the livewell in which we later turned loose.Got the usual bass, bluegill, perch, think me and my buddy lost 2 stripers, never did see them, but we jhad our minnows get hit at the same time 20' apart, and both lines took off like a freight train right into the brush pile we were fishing. fished with minnows and slip bobbers and 1/32 oz jigs with twisty tails in 3-8 FOW. beautiful morning, then the wind beat us up until we left at about 3pm. i do need to ask a question, anyone know anything about 4 stroke Mercury motors? 9.9 hp

If you find you have to take it in for repair, I would recommend Route 8 Marine (Glenshaw i think)...They have done all my work and do a great job for the cheapest price I have been able to find.

Status: offline 		Thanks Zoom, I'm just trying to figure out something, I have always had 2 stroke motors and this 4 stroke does not seem to idle very high, so I'am thinking to myself that maybe I have a plugged filter or something, actually the boat and motor were winterized by Route 8 marine from the previous owner so I dont really think that anything is wrong with it, but like I said, this is my first 4 stroke. I wish I had a bigger motor, but the boat was immaculate and I did not want to pass it up. Thanks again.

Is it idling rough, or smoothly just at lower RPM's ( which would be normal for a 4 stroke VS 2 stroke )?

Status: offline 		It is idling smooth, and quiet, just not fast. Like I said, it's just different and wanted to ask for opinions, dont want to miss a minute of crappie fishing when it gets hot! thanks
