Montauk,

Do any of u guys know an ole boy in Milton that only accepts cash to repair boat motors?

Get back in the AM...

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

How does the water look in Henderson?
Thanks,
Ronnie

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

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.

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

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?

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???

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.

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

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.

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

My name is Ryan

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

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

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

Thanks will do.

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

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.

Wrong.. It was up last week from the week before

If you say so...

there might be 2 different Henderson's ??

Try this link http://waterdata.usgs.gov/la/nwis/uv...20,63160,00060

The water was rising over the weekend,now its falling.....

I fished it bro and boat was floating a little higher the second time..

:*****::rotfl:

The water is great along the west side. went last sat and boated over 40 bass with 16 keepers and 1 over 4lbs. I would upload all of the pics we took but my iphone is in about 8ft of water along the levee as of 2:45pm last sat.
just find some pretty water and start fishing SLOW!!!!

the pits on the north side of I-10 were accessable last weekend i got in it with a 19ft bass boat

Look for me in a green sprint ill show yall how to catch some henderson bass......btw the water was down last sat from the weekend before

I guess I'm going to have to make a trip out there once I get in from offshore.

Ronnie

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?
