    I’m going to head down there Sunday morning. Help me out with a couple quick questions: how deep are you in the water, do I need a life vest? Never a bad idea, but are you knee deep or waste deep.

    What about bait holders? Do you use one of those floating cooler things?

    Any help is appreciated, I’ve never done this

    OH MAN! Way to kill it! I almost went down there a couple weekends ago because my boat’s been broke down, but I didn’t. If I don’t get my boat back this weekend, I’m heading down there next week. This weekend is my anniversary

    Where did you get the live bait down there? I assume you got it there

    Great report, thanks. It’s easy to do the reports when you had a good day.

    But I’d take a day like that any day, at least you were on fish. Give those 12″ er’s a couple weeks and you got your freezer full. I’m always glad when I find fish.

    Nice report. I learned the hard way too about using a 1/4 oz jig, but what’s tough is when the current is strong and you need something heavier to get down. I use the 1/8 whenever possible but if I have to go to the 1/4 I just don’t let it get to the bottom when I can help it

    I ended up taking to to Earl and he did a great job and the price was plenty fair. He did a lot of little things that added up and it ran great yesterday and I’m going to call and thank him tomorrow. Thanks for your help on this.

    I have heard mixed reviews on him. One guy said that he takes forever and then charges a fortune. I’ve bought stuff there before, seems like a good guy, was very helpful. I might try him, I think I have a simple fix

    Thanks

    Sorry I’m so late in replying, this past week has been absurdly busy between work and some additional work my wife and I had to get involved with to help a friend out who git diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

    I really appreciate the help and I ended up taking it to Earl at Outboard Motors in Metairie. He had a great job and I went out yesterday and will do a report right now

    I appreciate the offer but I have a shop nearby my house that can take me tomorrow, so I’m going to give it a shot. I’ll let you know what he does just for FYI

    Thanks!

    Yeah you right! I’ve been so busy at work that I’ve used the last few weekends to catch up, but now it’s time to get my TOW in!

    Y’all are going to see some reports from the middle of the week coming up soon, I’ve banked a lot of Saturdays so far this year

    I’ve bought stuff there before too so I might call them too. I might just call around and see who feels they can get me in the quickest. I don’t think I can go wrong with any of the people mentioned, you have to be somewhat good if you’ve been around that long

    It’s a two stroke. I’m not so aggravated about the wait, but I had brought it to him a few weeks ago and he said he fixed it, but the next time out it did the same thing. It runs great out in the open, but when I slow down it kills. Then when I start it back up, I have to rev it real high and kick it into gear, which I’m sure is really good for it.

    So when it did it again he said he knew what was wrong with it and it’ll be a quick fix.He’ said he could do it in my driveway and has been promising to come out for two weeks, but everyday something comes up.

    I thought he said something like he changed the one, but then other one must have gone bad now. I don’t know what exactly it was he changed. Basically it’s flooding the carburetor in low speed.

    I thought about trying Pier 1 but they don’t sell Yamaha parts so I don’t know if they’d work on it. Thanks for the info, I’ll all around Monday.
