I went shore fishing this morning at 4 am and got my biggest channel cat ever. It was 23.15 pounds. I was using shrimp. As soon as the sun started coming up the catfish go back deep. The spawn must be done now here

I tried fishing the Ashley river is SC today. I found out if you have heart disease, don’t fish mid early morning in the South. I could only fish for about 45 minutes before I started down hill. It looks like my fishing days are now forever going to be fishing nights. During the Summertime for now.

That explains why the cats i caught in NW Alabama last week didn't put up a fight. Seemed almost like dead weight. The largest were a couple of 5lb blues but they hardly fought until I tried to net them. Also caught some smaller flats and channel. Almost all were male. Caught the better ones during the day between 10am and 1pm. Bite died after that.

I've seen that boat motors can be a lot like toddlers at times. Can't tell you what's wrong and you have to search for what the problem is. If you're really good with motors you might have a head start but to a newbie you could spend couple hours learning your motor or taking to the local shop. Always great info and story. Safe travels.

Beyond a certain RPM the impellor no longer pushes water mechanically. So improper fit may have been your issue like you suspected.

Basic rule of thumb for replacing an impeller is every year, but at a minimum every other year. If an outboard doesn't have strong flow at idle, then it definitely needs an impeller. The impeller housing and gaskets need to be changed every 2-3 years.

@jeremykillion67157 ай бұрын
on your im not sure on my 60 mercury it hooks in on the water jacket and a water line goes to a gage at the helm. You can tell the minute the water pump starts to get week. check with your boat motor mechanic he will know it shouldn't run you that much. When my dad still had his shop he wouldn't let a new boat leave without one. It's good insurance and peace of mind
