Wow it's good to hear people getting walleyes now, can't wait to get out myself. Too many weddings trips and work in the way what the heck. And it doesn't seem to be slowing down, but now that my boat is back in action and hearing the fishing being good I'm getting itchy to get out! On my engine the initial problem was that the water line came off of the outdrive. This led to no water coming through the exhaust, which cause the exhaust shutter to burn up (burning rubber smell), and also one of the exhaust boots melted some. Fortunately I caught it before it really overheated so it wasn't that bad to fix, other than waiting on parts and fixing it in the driveway when it's 85 degrees out where I instead should be sipping a frosty on the boat holding a line.
Congrats fishkiller on the tournament thats awesome! Has to really get your charter business busy big time I would think time to raise rates. :)
Good luck everyone
