hey was wonderig how the charter was? my Outlaws (like in-laws but more fun) are staying down there and i want my Mother in law to catch a dadgum salmon this year... we were thinking about a charter.

my GF just got a salmon out of the Nestucca over at 3 rivers- at the boat ramp. its about 35 minutes away.

she got it just up from the snags on the point right at the boat launch

let me know if that worked

turns out a spinner will work also- not for me but for my girlfriend. took her all of about 5 minutes to get hooked up. i'd post a pic but can't figure that out. we fished it for about 3 hours and that was the only one caught. one other got hooked up from the opposite side of the bank but got...

was thinking mebbe i should go over there tomorrow... where were ya at (if you dont mind my askin) and what were ya using? very nice fish!

Isaac, way to go my friend!!! i'd be abe to write more, but i am busy kicking myself for having taken our Yak out on town lake and getting nothing for it. i sure would like to see the launching, and passing out through the zone, just to see if i thought we could manage it. if you can give me a...

i dont think i have anything like that. i'll look today. when we picked up the motor the whole assembly under the hood that rotates when you get on the throttle was not frozen, but really stiff. the guy we bought it from put a lot of 3 in 1 oil in there and worked it loose. its still a bit...

Brian, if it does i dunno where its at.

thanks guys i was just going to ask all the same questions!! motor still seems to be doing great- it hiccups a little and the throttle is stiff, but geez its alost as old as i am and let not get into my hiccuping or stiffness.

ok we got the boat and motor out today- what a perfect day. looked a bit windy but we went for it and turned out great. the motor is a rock star. started up easily (given it age). i am too big of a baby to rip it wide open- the water was rough, but we scooted around just fine. had a great time...

so i walk in with my head hung and tell them what happened (i bought it from a shop) theres a customer in there and both he and the guy i bought it from both said it was the shear pin . so they head out and pull the prop right off and sure enough the shear pin was in about 6 little pieces. he...

bigsteel- thats the plan. lets hope its not a rodeo. the guy i bought from is really cool and i dont anticipate a problem.

so we took it out. putted into the wind nice and smooth. my GF wanted to drive, sure thing, switch seats. she starts off with it and a few seconds later the motor races and but no power to the prop. try shifting it a few times, nothing. row back to the dock, load up. bring it home, read manual...

got it back. the throttle is better. the shaft under the fly wheel was stuck / rusty. so much 3 in 1 oil later and some sweat assitance its functional. will look at a book later to use the actual part names so it makes more snse. lets all hope for decent weather and good run on the water...
