Only 50 limits out of 197. Ouch... And half of the guys are fairly local

My boat was running great the other day and then i stopped and when i tried to move it would idle but would not get on plane just bog down. So i started tearing things down real slow checking gaskets and O-rings, rebuilt the external fuel pump. Then i opened up the air and fuel regulator to check on those diaphragms ( read a lot online how these are problematic). And sure enough one is messed up. Not sure if this will fix the idle but wont get up on plane problem. Once i get it back together ill test the air and fuel pressure. Might be the high pressure fuel pump or the booster pump in the VST What else should i check wrench? It has good spark, fresh gas, fresh plugs, and fuel filter

Optimax

I have a small tear in a air regulator Diaphragm. They are absolute thieves $210 for a rubber Diaphragm the size of a half dollar. Not to mention a $100 tool that is necessary to install it without damaging it. Found the part on ebay, the only option i could find from the dealer was them selling me a $700 complete fuel rail.

Wow , i figured the Crappie would really be hot right now. Thought about coming down this weekend

Ike live is almost painful to listen to now, They never talk about fishing anymore. All they do is laugh into the mic and plug sponsors the whole time

Thats why Tourneys limit are usually 5. If the creel is 6 that means you can have 5 in the well and keep fishing so you never have more than 6 in there at a time.

Yeah, i drive a lot through Kansas and have to kill the time some how. Most of the ones i listen to talk about pro tourneys and stuff. Occasionally they have ozark guys get on there and talk about some Ozarks lakes. Bass Talk Live does a lot of interviews, if you sift through the shows and find the ones with Mike Mcclelland or Jason Christie, they give out some real good stuff. Some good Spinnerbait techniques they have talked about in the recent weeks

Thats so weird, I actually put a President on my Fenwick over the winter for my Ned rig set up

i guess you SOL at that point. How often does everyone lose a rod overboard? I can only think of cheap crappie rod that ive lost in the last 6-8 years. Ive broke probably 5 nice rods in the last 5 years. Couple times my fault, and a couple times broke on a cast or hookset I got a new Browning Airstream at Bass Pro a couple months ago and i got the two year replacement for $14. She told me that in two years to break it over my knee and bring it in for the replacement. And she said thats what they were told to tell customers.

The higher end companys have a replacement program even if you dont have the receipt. I got a Cara replaced for $65 i think, no questions asked, just sent in the piece of the handle with the specs on it. So you can spend a lot of money once and even if you break it over your knee you can get a replacement without breaking the bank

this is from a while back but it is a real good listen

Thats awesome, you really are dialed in on it. Ive spent a lot of time in the Coffman bend area on Lake O and see people snagging out there and most of them are in Jon boats with no electronics. Looks like such a crap shoot since the lake is pretty big there, but many of them had fish tied to their boats

How was the water clarity?

Ive yet to try spoonbill meat that i could take two bites of and i love eating fish. Fried, baked, and grilled it was disgusting. Ive heard so many people say how good it is.
