I am with hawk on the gas and lights-87 octane,50:1 oil and I add seafoam to my tanks.
It took it only one sets of popped bulbs to remember to unplugged my lighs.
Having had my fair share of boat "issues", I would say before any serious adventures are attempted, check the water pump, fuel lines, electrical connections, and spark plugs. After all that is confirmed as a-ok, proceed to spend at least 1.5X (conservative estimate usually ends up around 10-15X) the paid value of the boat on electronics, down riggers, out riggers, new rods and reels, rod holders for fishing, rod holders for storing the extra rods, nets, net holders, gaffs, stringers, new tackle storage, cup holders, ice chests for frosty's and lunch, coolers for fish, coolers for bait, fish whackers, anchor, anchor rope, drift sock, anchor puller, crab traps, crab davit, 5 crab measure's, floaty thing for keys, paddles, trolling motor, extra plug, backup to extra plug, life jackets, current copy of fishin regs, and finally a catchy name. By the time you assemble all this it will be time for a bigger boat.
The biggest piece of advice I can give is to wear your life jacket 100% of the time! I will save some typing time and just link to my post where I wrote about my experience not wearing my life jacket... am lucky to be here today.
Yeah I have fished the williamson river a fair bit, always have done pretty good. I usually use a 1/8th oz kastmaster and have yet to get skunked.Although I got a new fly fishing rig so I will have to try that out come May .
This last year on the opening weekend of trout season I hooked a 23" brown trout, largest trout I ever caught in moving water! I am ready for another one..
