snagged in outlet 3

Thx! I’m headed out again and did it in 5 minutes. Wedged the side and pounded an ax into the slot. Worked like a charm! It isn’t perfect but it’s good enough for gubment work👍

Ok. I’ll stop posting. But I won’t stop going😁

Yep. They swap out the lower unit with a jet pump. It runs on plane in about 3”. Drifts about 5”. Best fishing item I have ever bought. It’s been great. I bought it because the closest river fishing to my house needed a jet boat. I used to drive 2-4 hours to trout fish but wanted something closer to home. Now I prefer smallie fishing over trout. Even though I’ve fly fished for trout my whole life. 62 years old now. The added fun of running a shallow river in jet boat only adds to it. And I use it at Taneycomo and The White to trout fish.

Mine is a 90 hp outboard. That grate is at the bottom and squats it out the nozzle in the back.

Ok🤷‍♂️

That’s what I gleaned from it. 😆

It didn’t affect the performance so I just waited till I got home to mess with it. I’ve actually banged mine around quite a bit and that’s the first real “damage”. If you can even call it that. I think most of what I’ve hit catches the rear edge of the foot while missing the grates. Fun AF to run around in light weight Jon with a 90 jet though😁

What do you mean?

I throw trash and old line or plastics in one of the live wells that’s never had water in them. Dry storage essentially.

I think I bought it at Bullseye tackle. I’m driving over there this week. Couldn’t sleep last night over it😆

No kidding. I went through a phase where I drove every chance I got to pattern stripers and hybrids. Never could and between the gas money and heartache I quit. They either are biting or they’re not. Thx for the report though. 👍

What do you use to bend them? They are tough little beggars.

I thought I had tied it on after I put the trailer on it. What’s DJT?

7”. I got that😆

Has anyone else done this? I have a small, quarter ounce I think, spinner bait that’s “my lucky” bait. I don’t know what is, but that thing flat catches them. I don’t remember where I got it or the exact particulars about the skirt color. Blue, white and chartreuse I think. 2 small Colorado blades. I was on the river yesterday and never really could dial them in and I thought I would try that little spinner bait. So I pull it out and put a twin tail trailer on it get it all set to go and I throw it overboard like I do when I tie on a new lure. I pick up my rod and realized I did not tie it to the line and my favorite spinner bait went to the bottom.😂.

Thanks @BilletHead!

Here’s what I thought. Ask around, YouTube, try it the best I can. Or option B. Ask @fishinwrench, get the quick down and dirty but get humiliated on a public forum. 😂

What did you use to get the whole pin out? Did you pull it out from the other end once you got it started with the nail?

I haven’t sifted my gravel so the impeller is fine. It’s amazing how shallow it runs when I’m by myself.

I said I “adjusted” it😂

Got out today. Another new location. WINDY, chilly and overcast. Water was 61 degrees. My kind of day! Nobody at the ramp at 7. I thought they would kill the buzzer but but they didn’t. Caught a few in an area that looked really good so I went back through with a crank and really got on em. Couldn’t keep the crank bite going even switched colors several times. No bites on the wacky. Finished the day on the Ned catching one after another but all small. Great fun though. I lost two big fish today. One when I threw over a log and he sawed through the line while I drifted downstream. The other one was operator error on the knot. Nice ones too! Left about 3. Oh. I adjusted one on the grates on my jet foot 😆. Can’t see a lot with the heavy riffle from the wind and the overcast skies. And I’ve never been there…. Stuff happens. 🤷‍♂️

Ned rig up shallow

I hope to get back out there the next 3 days. I have an 8 AM meeting tomorrow then……. They better watch out!!!

Nice!!!!
