Crankcase oil white!!

Checked my Merc 90 4 stroke today, discovered oil was white. I know it means water in the oil and a seal is gone. I have drained all the white oil out of the beast, took off the oil filter and cleaned up the motor. Question is, I am not running this right now so can I just leave it till spring or is...

Trolling Motor, What Do You Recommend

My trolling motor has died, looks like this is it this time. I need a 55 lb. bow mounted trolling motor. Nothing fancy, no GPS or even sonar, so who and what would anyone suggest. I am in Ottawa if that helps.

and thanks,

Tony

political correctness

:twisted: Political Correctness is ruining our country. I think we all know examples like this but we have to be polite. Underneath though, it fosters a lot of resentment.

I pulled the hook out of this "thing" with really long needle nosed pliers and then cut the line that was wrapped around it. This one should live to get real big.

Me, I'm a chiropractor in Kanata. Been here almost 30 years but didn't discover how much water there is around this area until about 10 years ago. We live in a fisherman's paradise here in Ottawa, thats for sure. Fish whenever I can.

This Eel was 3 feet long if it was an inch. Got itself all tangled up in the line, kept twisting and twisting. Cut it loose and that's when we took the pictures. And you are right, lots of slime on the line that was cut free. They sure give you a shock when they start to go postal on you. http://www...

carp bait

Nibblits corn works fine BUT you need a hair rig, google it, but you have the corn on a piece of line below the hook. When the carp take the corn they catch the hook on their lip. It may take a while but when they take the bait, you had better hang on to your rod. They will easily take your whole ro...

Little cats , use chicken liver. But if you want BIG cats, use dead minows, the bigger the better. 4" - 6" and you will attract big cats, 10+ pounders . time of day makes a huge difference as well. Best time is from about 7.00 p.m. until as late as you can go. Bring flashlights, lifejacket...
