    It's down about 5 feet last I knew, but is still about 12 feet over pool. It's dropping something like 4 inches a day at the current rate.

    I know it. Unfortunately it's not looking like I'll be able to find a DVA locally, so I'll grab one on eBay. Even if the trigger was working, it needed to be replaced anyway because of the wire situation. Looked to me like it was sealed, so you can't get in there and solder a new wire onto the windings.

    The rotten wire was on the trigger, not the stator. Unfortunately it was rotten all the way up, but I crimped a new piece on anyway for testing purposes. Still don't have any spark. Just from resistance testing, it's looking like the trigger, CDI says it should not have continuity to ground, but I am showing some resistance on all wires. I will order one and see what happens, since I need one anyway with the bad wire, I don't trust the repair long-term. Resistance on the stator was perfect, although that is not definitive.

    Well that didn't last long. Now to find a DVA...

    Lost spark on my Merc 60 last night too. Think I found the issue, rotten wire from the stator. We'll see though.

    Crankbaits. 20ft, give or take. Main lake points primarily, ones with a gradual slope extending a long ways seem to be better.

    Limit tonight, all trolling. They were picky. Only hit one bait, in one spot, going one direction. Smallie was on jig and worm. No big fish, just 16-18". Apologize for the blurry pics. Fingerprint on the lens.

    Got the decals on, runs and sags fixed, and a coat of wax. Used a nib file for the runs, then wet sanded and buffed. Like they never happened. Got some wheels for the trailer too, facelift is pretty much done. Now the inside looks old and crappy.

    Went after them again tonight. 1 keeper 3 short walleye, a few drum and a 2.5lb largemouth. 2 eyes on the jig and crawler, the other two pulling cranks. Water temps still hovering around 85. Lake is down at least 3 feet from where it was. Didn't stay late, around 8:15 it clouded over and the wind switched. I was wheels up soon after, didn't wanna deal with white caps after dark.

    Makes me wonder how they did it. I can't hardly sleep if it's any warmer than 75.
  11. MrGiggles
    Yep. 18hp should be 5/16. Here, farm supply stores have it way cheaper than Oreilly's and other parts stores. If the line that's on it has crimped clamps, just cut them with dikes, reuse the fittings, slip on your new hose, and replace them with worm drive clamps or zip ties.

    I just use plain automotive fuel line. I probably wouldn't use it on an offshore rig with an enclosed bilge, but on most boats it will work just as well. I will never use that silver crap again.

    Dang, I usually settle for a slice of pizza at Hannah's. Guess I've been missing out.

    Went after them again tonight. The walleyes weren't grouped together like they were. Caught one short and one keeper. Also found 3 keeper crappie and the typical amount of drum.
  15. MrGiggles
    Thanks. I've caught more walleyes this year than I have in the past, maybe because I've been focusing more on the Big sac arm, in the past I fished the little sac exclusively. Last summer I only caught a few until mid July. Fall was such a wreck weather-wise that I didn't catch any then either.
  16. MrGiggles
    Yep. Black boat with orange life jackets on? Was wondering what you were doing, thought you might have been running bouncers.
  17. MrGiggles
    It's still somewhere around 17ft over pool.

    Put in at Crabtree tonight after getting my trailer back together. Trolled the flats North of Mutton. Found 1 crappie. Trolled a point close by and found a couple drum, nothing really in that area to speak of. I decided to hit a spot on the way back that I had caught some fish in about a month ago, an island which is now submerged. Caught three eyes from 15.5-22", which is my PB. Not really sure what is so special about that spot, but they're in there. 18-20 feet, trolling chart and jointed purple tiger flicker shads. Crappie was on blue tiger.

    They actually make specialty .5mm oversize sockets for this exact purpose. That's how big of an issue it is. Specifically on Dodge and Ford, although others have them too.
  20. MrGiggles
    From what I've seen the Ghost will be right at 3k as well.
  21. MrGiggles
    Crappy 2 piece lug nuts that swell with age and stick in your sockets.
  22. MrGiggles
    All at a price nobody can really afford. Who is the intended market? The 100k sponsored bass boat guys?
  23. MrGiggles
    Doesn't bother me a bit. The banter is what keeps this place entertaining.
  24. MrGiggles
    I think every truck I've ever owned needed them. But I drive ragged out junk, so that's not really a good example.
  25. MrGiggles
    I've been wondering the same thing. Not sure how the high water affects it, or if it does at all. I saw what looked like a thermocline starting to set up, but as you said, it seemed to dissipate and change depending on where I was.
