MOST People Do Not Value Anything They Didn’t Pay For (New Anecdote & Old Rant)

Below is an old rant worthy of reposting. If you don’t want to read a rant stop when you get to *** RANT MODE ON *** below. Sometimes people surprise me. A while back an old Yuma Bass Man member (there is no membership anymore) gave me an old trolling motor to do with what…

Re: Carry Across State Lines!! This was in the (Massachusetts State District Court), so it has no bearing anyplace other than Massachusetts.

VIDEO: Jarred tends to overstate the points, but this is interesting regarding the right to carry across state lines. This case is in regards to two states that DO NOT have reciprocity agreements. Massachusetts and New Hampshire. This was in the (State District Court), so it has no bearing anyplace other than Massachusetts. Yeah, I…

The Sole – Repairing the Sub Structure – Another Boat Project That May Never Be Finished – Part 5a

The continuing saga of getting “Whisker Seeker” back into shape to hit the river. (VIDEO) CREATING THE VIDEO ITSELF IS A LOT OF WORK, and I don’t make videos for a living. I would appreciate it if you would like the video and subscribe to the channel so I know if you have any value…

Holeshot & Ride

Hole shot generally refers to how long it takes your boat to go from displacement to plaining speed.  For most plaining hulls the best hole shot is accomplished by trimming the motor/outdrive all the way down, and going full throttle as quickly as possible.  Push the throttle all the way to the stop very quickly…

2005 Mercury 50 ELPTO Fuel Line T – Another Boat Project That May Never Gets Finished…

It can be really frustrating working on outboards sometimes. In this case I was replacing the fuel lines on the outboard for “The Tin Can.” I’m thinking I might use it on “Whisker Seeker” since the outboard that came with Gary’s boat was always a bit undersized for it. Whisker Seeker is rated for 60,…

West Wetlands

West Wetlands is a nice decent size park complex with play areas, picnic areas, and at the east end there is a fishing pond. It also provides one of the few improved boat launches on the lower river (Morelos Division) with boat trailer parking near the ramp. If you launch into the river at West Wetlands…

PAAC Pond

If you want a nicely manicured “park” pond with a paved liesurely strolling path this is the one for you. I’m not sure of the management of this pond, but it was originally stocked with sunfish for forage, and gets period winter stockings of trout. Being part of the Pacific Avenue Athletic Center its near sporting…

The Imperial Division (Imperial Reservoir) – Martinez???

When most people who don’t live in Yuma say they are going to the river at Yuma or they are going to Martinez they mean they plan to spend some time on the Imperial Division of the Colorado River. Technically Imperial Reservoir, but its more river than reservoir. This section stretches from Imperial Dam to Palo…
