Glad to see you read this even though you would rather attack than make a useful comment some people arent brought up with manners Have always related that to mendota. Dude so nice

Tucked away in the corner of no where is a river with fish not here though if you dont stroke the pony you dont get read I think it is a good thing people saves time for fishing lol Taking a break will be posting at lake link more user friendly for wisconsin river

Water low and swirly like the dimples on a fat girls a s s. Saved 2 today that had ripped the lower unit off towed them 3 miles down river cut into fishing time . Still catching fish no body there canoes and smokers. 530

water has drpooed fishing is good no body looks at this cking post anyway so who gives a fu

sand bars everywhere perfect for finding fish

524 what a waste

The 9.5 and the 15 are the same motor the carb is the only difference. Check the serial number ona a small coin like spot on the engine block and go to the johnson web site to find out how old it is. Check it for color to be sure it wasnt overheated and try starting it. Put it in water for 15 minutes before you try starting it if it hasnt been run in a while. I bought a 15 horse Johnson that was bought new then set for over 20 years without being used. The electric pack was shorted out replasced that and it has worked like a trouper ever since. I put a lot of stress on it and it holds up great. I researched a web site where the guy knows those motors inside and out I cant think of his last name his first name was Leroy google johnson motor repair he might pop up Hope this helsp 500 isnt bad if it is what you want.

Fished through the weekend with amazing results walleyes sauger catfish and small mouth cant believe what the river holds. Water levels finaly dropping and the big boats are getting hung up aw too bad. Now the lower conditions and the small boats that were meant to fish are there. I cant begin to describe the feeling of a private fishing ground that I share with less than 3 boats. So much [censored] caught a few released all that were caught dont eat the fish they are bad for you.

I bought one last Dec. fished a lot after that. I was very glad I made the purchase fished along side vex 18 and marcum 5 Much easier to see and read less expensive than both. My friends that used it all loved it My battery life was exceptional although I did charge after every use. I fished a long weekend fishing 12 hours a day and it had 75 percent battery left at end of day. I did tweek it a bit and lost the extra cable made centering it the hole easier and that is important that it hangs straight. I worked out a system that had it hanging down the side of the hole and the float was tucked under the unit in the case worked great. Have 1 friend bought one in March and another looking to buy a unit if he gets rid of his vex. Over all I think it is a great value.

Son and I went last Thursday 4th had a good day 5 walleyes and 4 sauger 3 cats 2 over 5 pounds and a big buffalo. Water was high and dirty cranks only caught 1 rest on crawlers.

Fished Saturday and Sunday caught limits of keeper eyes both days. Didnt keep any all on cranks jigs plastic and 2 on worms trying for sheeps. Water was up and dirty lots of people with the ease of getting around

Fished Monday for 7 hours caught a limit of keeper walleye if I was to keep a limit plus several others. A few smallies and assorted junk all on cranks and jigs. Sorry no pictures dont have a camera.

Fished friday river a bit high and a little dirty. Had to hunt the fish down but once found we had a lot of action. Smallies sauger and walleyes on cranks and jigs. Trolling casting and pitching

Looked like he wanted to wreck was driving like a lot of guys do on the river. Big motor got to go fast and dont care about making waves. HOPE HE WAS ALRIGHT AND NEVER DRIVES A BOAT AGAIN

Fished Saturday morning water very high and dirty didnt do very good. Did find a sack of mallard decoys bobbing up and down under a tree. If you ever see a sack under a tree in the River I guarentee you open it carefully.

No pictures biggest walleye was 19 biggest small mouth was also 19. Lots of smallies hit a nest I guess.

wnt today Friday four wheeler pulling a trailer no problems going up coming back we talked about probably not taking it again. Soft slushy and a crack seems to be starting. Fished a long time had a sack of gills crappies and bass when we left. Nothing fancy and fished a long time.

any one been there last 2 days? is there ice?

More time fishing less time holding a dieing fish by the gills. Catch and release only works when what we are releasing is alive

I use a live trap as well om;y I hang a weiner by string from the end he comes in has to lift up a bit to get the hot dog and you will have him. Set the trap up close to where he has ben coming in not on the inside incase you get a wayward skunk. If yyou get a skunk the fun begins send me a message an I will explain how to get them out of the trap.

Asked yourself this questuon about littering. Is it ok to throw cigarett buts down on the ice? A shack that has been on the ice for 2 weeks then moved left behind enough butts and cigar stubs but people seem not bothered by this. Littering is littering would like to see some one ticketed for this.

I would like to attend such an event just to have a look see. They are much to far from south west Wisconsin where I live. Thanks for your response will continue to observe from afar.

I have red through this several times and have been amazed at the expertly done undressing of a competitors product. From the start to finish some one had there nose out of joint. But it was a Marcum sponsered event and I will continue to read different post on this web site. It really makes one thing clear beware of sponsered events and opinions. Reminded me a lot of High School speech class. Teacher doing the grading had to start somewhere picking you apart. Rob Holman Class of 73 lol

Just bought a Bird 45 works great. Have a buddy getting out of ice fishing has a vex 18 he wasnt going to sell it when I wanted one now he had decided to sell in great shape. 2 years old.

Ice 45 worked good all weekend I think it is easier than the vex 18 I have been using time to get rid of it.

These take a bit of tweeking. You wont be able to get shrink tube over most end guides so you will have to remove the end guide. Next you need to align everything straight hold it straight while you shrink the tube. You need it firm to stay in place so moving the spring for tension wont work if it is too tight. Not tight enough and the fiber optic spins around knotting your line. Lets not get into the tail left on the backside it seems to grab line at every chance. I finally stuck it out 3 inches and superglued it tight. You buy a pack and get 2 for 2 bucks so I do have an extra. If anyone knows a better way to put these on let me know. 1 good point is the loop at the business end is adjustable.

What is happening at the lake is it frozen over yet any fish being caught have booked a long weekend Ice fishing and get worried when no one is talking.

HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND READ A LOT OF POST AND WILL HEAD OUT TODAY TO BUY A FLASHER THANKS ALL

We have a group hunt every weekend some times both days if we have snow. Have an area with lots of cover shoot limits everytinme and they are still thick. Home owners didnt know it was rabbits eating there shrubs untill we showed them now they look for us ti hunt.

Anything would have helped we had nice gills and enough for a meal but wanted to at least catch a walleye.
