I had that happen on one of my diesels and I changed everything in the line to no avail. Air was getting in there somehow over any extended period of time. We accidentally found it when my son was looking at the engine while I was cranking and spotted bubbles in my Racor bowl whenever I cranked. A h...

Talk to me about Global Warming.....

Harry- Talking about hijacking...This was supposed to be a PM, but I pushed the wrong button and somehow couldn't delete it from the thread. I finally got into the basement of my renter's house and got the two carburetors I took off my gassers. The engines were Chrysler 413's that were upgraded to 4...

I will bet the IGFA will be all over him, the mates, the witnesses and the tackle trying to find out if the mate ever touched the rod, did the rod ever touch the rail, the knots, leader, line etc. They'll have a hard time believing a fish like that was caught and landed from a big party boat on a 30...

Gee....how did they explain that?....heh, heh, heh....

Many thanks!

I'm finding the site running very slow. My computer or a site problem?

I can say with confidence, even drunk our guys are a helluva lot more professional than those guys were!

We have "Green Bonito" in the Northeast that is good table fare. Meat is not red.

Man, you've opened a can of worms there. The guys who have them usually like them, the ones that don't, swear you don't need them. Make your decision after you've used yours for a season. If you are going to fly fish offshore for Mako, Mahi and Tuna, you may find the swim platform helpful from possi...

If he doesn't know that burning fuel floats he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a boat.

Those are really nice multiple flyrod holders. I get the Salt Water fly fishing magazines yet haven't see them advertised anywhere. Where did you find them and about how much were they? You have the "garbage can" holder perfectly solved. I would think a plate would be a good bridge solution. If you ...

I have a sportsfisherman, so without the stern bulkheads I can lay 4 fully rigged flyrods on the padded port engine box (reel sides there) with the tips on a towel over the front window area. I use a Rubbermaid handleless garbage can in the starboard stern corner with a ready to use rod and stripped...

Usually the first weekend in August. Based on the location, reservations are made at a selected marina on a per-foot basis. Usually a nice Saturday night dinner on a per head basis at prices dictated by where we are and who's running it that year. Greenport last year had about 30 boats plus a super ...

If I am not mistaken, the bench is a "U" shaped fiberglass on plywood piece that is screwed onto mounting blocks on both sides from underneath. It is an awkward area to get to but if you do, it lifts off. Those blocks can be raised and moved back or built up on and the bench put back on. There may b...

Speaking for myself, I thought Greenport was as close to perfect as you can get. I wouldn't have a problem going back for a second time.

Got your whole portfolio. Did you mean to do that or a few selects?

In Memory Walter K

Vic- You're not using the red hydraulic fluid? Run your hand down the underside of the ram. If it comes back oily, put a paper towel underneath it in the bilge to verify. There's a small venting weep hole there you can only see with a mirror, and if your ram needs rebuilding, fluid passes the intern...

I finally surrendered. Ive wintered in several marinas over the years and I never could get them to understand. If I did, it was for one winter only...and because I was there. A Shop Vac visit every so often until it is completely covered was my solution.

They should slip right out of the holders but given they don't, I suspect they haven't been removed in a long time and are encrusted with salt residue in the bases. The first thing I would try would be to get a small inexpensive strap wrench and attach it to the outrigger about a half inch above the...

Get used to it. It comes with the territory!

I also fished in Guatemala for them once and I must say the strike, the first run and the acrobatics of a lit up 100+ pound Pacific Sail on a fly is the highlight of my fishing career. You have to do it some day.

You've really got your hands full right now. I find it very satisfying catching fish with flies I have tied. Your timing is pretty right though. When you've got the Bertram just the way you want it, your son be at the stage when he'll want to help you. You'll have a lot of years of good memories com...

Sounds great, hope we see it next season. Make your own flies?

But he's won a few of those....

Some are so obscure, no one even looks. For the others, bring the boat and we'll switch trucks at the ramp for ticketless parking.

My reaction too, but Kathi verified it was true and they couldn't make the Rendezvous because of it. I checked after to see if he survived, and he sure did!

In Memory Walter K

The last I heard he was in a Triathalon the weekend of our Northeast Rendezvous in Greenport. According to Kathi, he DID finish. I would expect he's out killing something about now.

Both Randall and I can show you launch ramps all with easy access to the Gardiner's area flats. Those areas are still productive during your slow months. Come on out!

In Memory Walter K

Peter-Next Fall, trail the flats boat out East. You can leave it at my house and come back and forth to it at Blitz time... I'm a flyrod nut, too, but find it difficult alone with the 31 in the midst of "the misquito fleet".

Mike's bow rail is not the stock one with separate pieces locked together with set screws his is a welded one piece bow rail and is much stronger and stable than stock.

Mine's on the starboard side about where the lower station on a Sportsfisherman is. Walter

You can "help" the window leakage with a white Dacron or Stamoid fitted piece that goes over the front windows. Light comes through the fabric so it doesn't darken the area too much. As far as the steps go, older models have a chrome plated step on the side pilasters that allow you to go from the en...

When I was in the Middle East back in the 60's, I asked a Muslim man why Muslim women covered their faces. His explanation was- Moses came first and took most of the good looking women. Then Jesus came and he took all the rest. By the time Mohammed got here, what was left needed their faces covered...

Saw it too. Good job Brew! Seems like it hit at the Canyon. Wonder what it felt like there?

That would be out in the ocean no? Any unusual wave action at the inlets?

Out our way the expression is "those fish ain't got no mouths!". Don't be discouraged Bob. There are times when they'll take anything, and there are times when they're taking nothing you put in front of them. It is a wonderful sight to see though, and I take solace in knowing that 98% of the world h...

Don't trust the local diesel shop. Just because they're new doesn't mean they're good. I had three of the six injectors I bought from Cummins not meet specs right out of the box last year. Fortunately for me, my mechanic had the test equipment and the spec sheets or I'd still be smoking and rough id...

In Memory Walter K

For starters, if you're smoking at idle, one or more of your injectors are not functioning to specs. Pull them all and have them tested. The anwer might be right there.
