Welcome to the IHoP

then again, most boats around here are either off shore, or some sort of shallow water skiff; only a small number of bass boats...

Why the 'rude boners from you TX folk?

It actually just stems from the fact that a family friend friend is a bad ass mechanic but only works on Johnson/Evinrudes but he doesn't work on the new FI stuff anyways so I'm kind of just being biased for fun. That, and Johnson was the first to come out with the clean 2 stroke IIRC

LOL, marketing got you. "clean" two stroke all has to do with DI.

If he doesn't work on FI then he doesn't work on an engine that is worth a shit. 2 stroke without FI is nearly as worthless as a four stroke outboard.

Once you start a FI outboard (***once****) you will never think a carburetor makes sense on a boat.

butt ugly, never seen a woman up there that I'd ride.....even after a whole bottle of crown.

*exceptions there are I am sure, but it isn't in numbers that saves them

I kind of figured that was the case, but this guy was really trying to mask the middle of nowhere qualities with some supposedly more desirable ones. Oh well, no recruits from my class!

And shit I should remember Winona but you only post in here every 3 months and short term memory is not my thing

I find something to talk about every once in a while. I am still in that "don't wanna piss anybody off" phase with you guys. I'll be sure to make more appearances in here.

When are you going to return the M to stock?

It is now 100% to stock....well if Dinan stock counts. Up for sale later this week

Oh, and you "can't" piss anyone off in here. It is the hop. ........mostly anyway

Ya all i know pretty much is Johnson/Evinrude.

and only really know about the yamaha cause of a buddies Rabalo that has twin 250 4-strokes, they are very nice!

And as far as the 2-strokes go now a days you are right that their really isnt any mixing required. Just make sure the oil stays full on the injectors and your set.

and us south texans dont use trolling motors cuz its sort of hard to troll in the bay, but it would be nice for up in the marshes.

Bullshit, you piss me off at least 25% of the time....but I really don't give a fuck

*ninja edit*

Most skiffs have a trolling motor and a poling station. If you want to really chase the inshore stuff both are a must. Most of the fishing I do is VERY similar to inshore salt, although I get to cover water faster as live bait is never part of my presentation

One thing I have noticed though, the farther inland you go in TX, the more people seem to love fried catfish...weird shit...

LOL, amusing since you don't "troll" with trolling motors, that is what kickers are for. Trolling motors are for casting which you do a ton in the bay.

Your still here aren't you? Plus I'd figure that 25% in this case is a small amount.

We're (my family) cheap bastards and just use the drift anchor

although a few bays around here you can drop anchor pretty much anywhere and wade fish...

My bad i didnt mean troll.

most of the time the wind is very strong out on the bay and the poor little trolling motor cant keep up unless it is a strong one.

most of the time we just use the drift method or just toss out the anchor.

And i think of trolling motors for more of the bass fishing...

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

if the water weren't so damned muddy you could probably wade wish with spears, but that's another matter altogether...

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

c'mon all you Beantowners, sing it with me!

LOVE THAT DIRTY WATER

Can and should are different. Fish school and active ones aren't predictable therefore you need to cover water. Using my feet to steer is the easiest way (outside of a guide doing it for me)

Bass habits are common amongst nearly all inshore species (minus the tidal tendencies).

Either way, my trolling motor will easily move my boat in the 'bay"

[///M5 2,833]

Hell my trolling motor has more horsepower than the first Evinrude I ran.

Very nice.

Also where i think my bias comes in on trolling motors is the fact, that i have never owned or used a good trolling motor.

The trolling motor that MK has is prone to not working...

[///M5 2,833]

Mine creates a wake behind me. Ever seen KVD fish? That is my style as well. If I ain't casting I am not happy.

[///M5 2,833]

I did pick up the first round of my custom rods last week. They rock. Amazing how a few new sticks drastically improved my casting ability. The pitching stick, which amusingly was the cheapest rod I bought, made a HUGE difference. Instead of being accurate to 18" at 40' I can now put the bait in within 6" easy. Quieter entry into the water as well, and it was windy. Can't wait to hit the water when it is calm.

**of course I am staying at a fricking hotel on the lake I grew up on 250mi from my boat and rods GRRRR!!!
