This is what my guy at the local snowmobile and stihl shop recommended to me. I’ve been have been doing this for 3 years now and have never had any problems. Just keep it away from anything with a catalytic converter! Bad News is what I’ve been told
My mistake!
I tried searching to find the actual flash point of 110 octane and could not find it. Although did find one interesting thing, that being gasoline with 10% ethanol (which I think we can all agree has no place in our 2-stroke engines) has a flash point that ranges from -20 to -4 degrees F. compared to 87 octane that has a flash point around -45 F.
I guess the main point that I was trying to make is that 110 octane doesn’t go bad and (I don’t want to have to eat my own words again) it is not supposed to break down your oil that you mix in your can over time.
I have read elsewhere that if you use fuel stabilzer with gas without ethanol that it will last 18 months and without stabilzer will last 4 months before breaking down the oil in your mixed gas
I don’t like to cheap-out on my investments, I wouldn’t even think of just running any of my engines dry, because lets face it, your carb will still have fuel in the float, and that fuel can still gum up your carb.
Rather than messing around with mixing up a fuel cocktail (Seafoam, Stabil, etc.), what I do is use racing fuel (110 octane) near the end of the season with the auger, and always with my Stihl chainsaw and weed whacker. Never have to worry about what is in the hose, because racing fuel has its own pump and its BLUE, so you know for sure. Racing fuel is on the same level as AvGas and will last up to 20 years, at least. It will not break down the oil that you mix it with unlike other octanes when left in the tank or can for an extended period of time. In my snowmobile I always siphon the gas out of the tank at the end of the season and put in a gallon or two of racing fuel and it for awhile. Always fires up like a champ the next season!
Racing fuel has a much higher flash point, which makes those cold starts much easier. However it comes with a price, I filled my last 5 gallon jug for $6.30/gal, but I feel that it is well worth the cost to protect my investments
Was there the weekend before the New Year, the fishing was hot then. My 2 hot lures were a red lindy rattlin’ flyer and a swedish pimple, silver with red tape. From my experience, I lost a few hook-ups with the smaller swedish pimple, so I switched out the smaller treble for a little bit bigger one, didn’t miss a one after I made the switch!
Put aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Put your fish of choice on foil, cover with Italian dressing, and grate fresh parmesan on top. Bake 400 for roughly 15 minutes, time all depends on size and number of filets
Fished out of Wahkon Bay last sunday night, from 2:30-8:30pm. In about 21 fow. Didn’t catch a thing until just before 5pm
As unfortunate as it may sound, between 2 people we only caught 1 walleye small enough to keep (16.5″) The rest were 22″, 23″, 23″, 24″, 26″.
Had 2 other solid fish that got off.
Dead lines worked better, only caught 1 fish jigging (glow green/yellow buckshot), after awhile we just gave up on jigging. Hot lure was a glow yellow glass jig, the glow red glass jig and a glow pink RocknRoll jig also worked. Used fatheads.

I need to hire another guide to free up some time to shoot.
Will work (fish) for food!
I have the same shelter and absolutely love it. However being a taller person and using 10″ holes. After punching 4 holes make room for my flasher, heater, and the wasted space for your feet. I refer to this as a 2 person ONLY shelter, but your fishing style may be completely different than mine and if you aren’t concerned about having your second line in the water. You may be just fine with 2 adults and a child.
Otters website has a price list for all of their equipment. Retail price for another seat with brackets is $99. If you aren’t concerned about the thermal liner you could get a Wild model new for $699 (retail) and that would have a bench seat.
It would be hard to find this model on clearance any cheaper than $650. The price seems fair, but check around on Craigslist and you may find one with all of the extras with it
