Going to head out next week and they are talking temps in the fortys, was wondering what you all thought about how warm is to warm to run your sled in this warm weather? Don't want to lock it up.

Excellent! You made my day, now can't wait to get it out on the lake! Thanks ------------------ Rip sum Lips

Well guys I put my new impeller in my 35 Horse Mercury and it went better than I thought it would, But I seem to be pumping water great to the motor and I have a stream of water coming out of it like I have never seen, I also have water coming out of the propeller and the holes above the propeller. Do I have a leak in there someplace or is this normal? It seems that there is no way that it could push that much water out that little hole from the motor. Please help ------------------ Rip sum Lips

Well, I ordered the book and the impeller and decided to take on the project my self. Stay close to your computer in about a week ------------------ Rip sum Lips

Is the impeller a doit yourself job or do I have to take it in? I was thinking that might be the problem, hoping it wasn't. ------------------ Rip sum Lips

I have a 35 horse Mercury, 87 that doesn't pump water at idle speed. It works great when I run higher rpms, but I can't troll with it due to the lack of water. I have only had the boat a little while and it was in storage for two years before I bought it. I don't, know but I don't think this is normal. Please help. ------------------ Rip sum Lips

I have a 35 horse merc that needs a prop, but I don't know what I should get. I hear so much about different pitch and size and it is all greek to me. My old one is a 10 1/2 inch prop, do I want to go bigger? My pitch is 13, do I want more pitch? Help!!!!!! ------------------ Rip sum Lips

Well I grew up following my grandad around while he did his leech trapping and minnow trapping. What he used is a coffee can with both ends cut out of it and two plastic lids. He would cut a round circle in the lid, about a three inch circle, make a cone out of some wire screen, similar to minnow traps. Staple it to the lid with a stapler. The hole in the end of the cone would be just big enough for a leech to get in. Throw your bat inside the can, since the can has two open ends it will sink on its own. With the screen cones in each end the leeches can enter from either way, but have a hard time getting out. Since the screen will poke them when they try to leave. Worked great, could even check them after sunrise because there was no escape. GoodLuck!!!! ------------------ Rip sum Lips

Diggs, Maybe you better just email the DNR with your question so you get the answer yourself. Just don't know sometimes what is right and what is wrong when reading the posts on this. ------------------ Rip sum Lips

Rockhard, There was an article awhile back that showed that the Red Lake Band was paying for 60% of the restocking fees for the walleyes in Red. I don't think its right that tribes should be marketing walleyes, but people are willing to buy them so why not? If people would learn and not buy the walleyes that are being sold, things like this would not have happened.

If you want some good reading, go back in time and read the post "Its the Law" and see if that will help you out. My self I buy the license and have it with me in my portable no matter what, or how I am fishing. Then I don't have to worry. ------------------ Rip sum Lips

Spooky is right, if I didn't have someone else with me I don't know if I would believe it my self. You feel like you are looking at a ghost. I'm fighting the urge to drive back down there and watch for the thing every night. I would like to see a picture of that squirrel, can you get one? ------------------ Rip sum Lips

See hunting.
