[CajunSaint]

[CajunSaint]

[CajunSaint]

I am not satisfied with this dude!!!! PM me before u use this hack!!!!!!!!!

[RonnieF]

How does the water look in Henderson?
Thanks,
Ronnie

[CajunSaint]

Well, I didn't get to see much of it, but what I saw looked good.

[By-Catch]

I think the repair guy your talking about lives near the Vermillion River bridge a couple miles south of Milton. He rebuilt a Merc lower unit for me years ago for about half what other places were charging. No sign out front of his place, kind of a garage type operation. Have not seen any boats at his place lately not sure if he is still in bussiness.

[RonnieF]

Thanks Saint, I appreciate the reply.
BTW, my neighbor's friend uses that guy on Johnston street, behind Custom Gun works(if CGW is even still open). I've never had any experience with them. Prop Shop's done all my maintainence on my Optimax.

Ronnie

[Montauk17]

Sounds like you need a better mechanic,come see us at the prop shop we will treat you right. Did the motor sit up for 3 months or longer without being used?

[CajunSaint]

I can't prove it but I think someone put water and other things in the gas tank.

Trying to figure out what to do with 80 gallons of gas???

[Montauk17]

Are you using a fuel treatment for ethanol and a water separator filter? Keep in mind that the ethanol in todays gas will attract moister out of the air. Pay attention where you filled up at,I have pumped gas and got water straight out of the gas pump several times.

[CajunSaint]

Do you guys sell a water separator filter? We pumped out some fuel and noticed a lot of what looked like sand or dirt.

[Montauk17]

Yes we sell the basic kit for 35 bucks or so. Pump some gas out the tank and put it in a clear bottle and look for water....if there is water keep pumping untill there is no more water.

[CajunSaint]

Montauk
PM me your name so I can ask for you whe I go.

[Montauk17]

My name is Ryan

[Montauk17]

If you see this before you come over....we just sold out of the filter kits.

[CajunSaint]

Do you know when y'all will have some more?

[Montauk17]

Should have some in by wednesday,just give us a call. 235-5761

[CajunSaint]

Thanks will do.

[RonnieF]

Saint, ethanol has been known to eat up the inside of fuel lines that aren't ethanol resistant. But since you are getting crap outta your tank, then it's probably not the culprit.

Ronnie

[CajunSaint]

Thanks Ronnie!
Could that be what's coming out of the lines?

Don't know where you get your info, but the lake has been dropping for the last week and continues to do so.

[YellowMouth7]

[RonnieF]

Ronnie

[BassAssasin]

Water still pretty clear near the levee, bite was pretty slow yesterday, we did pick up a few keepers though

How'd you catch em, shallow or deep?

I tried 3mile lake for the first time Friday but it wasn't easy... It looks like it should hold fish tho. Anybody ever fish that place?

[BassAssasin]

Fairly shallow holding pretty tight to structure, grass and wood. Mostly on watermelon plastics and a couple on spinnerbaits.

[blackmamba]

Sweet. Thanks

I use to fish all over the Henderson Swamp area.....but never heard of "3 mile lake". Where is this located? How do you get there? I probably have been there.
