I had the same problem on a 93 492 Ranger with a 225 Yamaha. I was running a 25 pitch 3-blade. I added a 6" jack plate and did not see much improvement. HOWEVER, when I went to a 23 pitch 4-blade it was like I had put a new motor on. If you have a prop shop near by, they will alow you to try di...

best money I ever spent on battery's. I run them in all my vechiles, including my motorhome and Peterbuilt

Dueler AT's 265/75x16's

Mitch

I've been running Bridgestone Duelers for the last 15 yrs on my Bronco and Tahoe 4x4's. I get 75-80k miles a set !!! Just rotate and balance them every 10k miles. Great traction and they don't sing going down the hwy. Great price at Discount tires and they offer a lifetime rotate, balance and align ...

I've had great luck with the Rattlin VIbe baits. They make more noise than most other rattle trap type lures.

Mitch

sounds like a broken wire that makes contact intermitintly. Mine would do the same thing when the motor was turned one way and then start when it was turned the other way. Check your wiring harness from the main batt to the motor. It may also be in the key switch. Best thing to do is take it to a se...

Way to go Michael. Knew you had it in you. Keep up the good effort and go for that AOY next season

Mitch

Michael has a 2+lb lead going into the final day...........Way to go Mike !!!!

Mitch

Is this anything like cow tipping ?????

Mitch

What happend to my picture viewer ? Am I missing a file or something. Anybody else having this issue ?

Mitch

I'm with JT, we've stayed there many times, however, it's now under new managment and it's gone very down hill. If you push for service you'll get it, but they didn't even empty the waste baskets without being asked to. Also, the price has gone up. I'd look at Ferndale. I've heard it's ok.

Mitch

You just may have a winner there !!! The look is very update and flattering. Good luck and hope to see more of this at the tournys.

Mitch

BASSRAT Hey, That's ME !!!!

Mitch

Sta-Lube waterless hand cleaner with ammonia and a bug spongue !!! Works everytime.

Mitch

There are many factors in which you're describing happens. One is low brake fluid. Another is the spring on the surge brake shaft has gotten weak. Another can be the reciever on the hitch is warn, and still another can be the reciever pin is warn or too small. I would start by checking all of the ab...

Mitch

Sounds like a bad transducer or an air bubble under the mounting. Take the unit itself and have it checked first. If it's ok then it's the ducer. Mine would do this on occasion and I would turn it off for a minute then back on and it was ok.

Mitch

I would call Loweance and they can tell you what to do next. It sounds like the LCD is bad. If that unit takes a card, you can download your waypoints onto it before sending it in. then upload it to the new unit.

5"weighted, or 6" regular Senkos (Wtr/red or Plum/emerld) WACKEY, on the outside of dock posts in deeper water ( 15-25). Black and blue Jigs with BRIGHT blue trailer in shallow tule clumps and dock posts. KEY is SLOW !!! Texas rigged Brush Hogs in weed beds and grass, and Blue/Chart DD14's...

Mitch

Head for Swell-Mart and get a 5Â½ ft Med action rod and a Zebco closed face spinning real. Put some decent 10# line on and go fishing. He'll be able to handle this, and use it for many years to come. Shouldn't cost much more than $ 20-30 for everything.

Mitch

Hey Jax, Use a Uni-knot to Uni-knot with 4 turns each way. This will be suficiant to hold yet not cause a big lump in the spool. Be sure to wet the mono or backing real good before pulling tight. The same will work if you add a leader to the braid. It will pass thru the guides smoothly.

Mitch

Yes there are. They are located in the flower beds between the sidwalk and the parking lot and have a plastic cover over them.

Mitch

Gator, where and when will the pics be posted ?

Mitch

Well, what can I say. Here's my story, and I'm stickin' to it !!! My dock bite had basically changed from Thurs and Fri. on Sat, (many 3-5 lb fish) to 2-3lb fish so I decided to go looking for some Frog fish. I had checked out Soda Bay on Fri and noted that the weeds were there just below the water ...

Mitch

At the rate the water is dropping at both Eastman and Pine Flat, they will fish VERY small. I've heard the same for Success. I know its been very low for the last few years. Bass lake is low until about mid April, the ramp is out of the water. Gonna be an interesting year for the valley !!!! Deffina...

Mitch

LOL Good one, Jim !!!

Mitch

Daren, Your post dos not relate. The braking on an axel doesn't affect the bearings. It sounds like just a coincendense that you had this happen. What probably happened is your inner bearing seal went out either from low amount of grease, age, and you lost grease when it went out, thus the bearings ...

Mitch

You have to remove the wheel. There is an allen head plug in the hub that is covered by the wheel so it can not come out. Remove the plug and fill with 50 wt oil. If the oil inside is cloudy, I would drain the old oil out and re-fill with fresh. If it is milky.....you may have water in it and will n...

Mitch

Looks like another FANTASTIC gathering of fun loving fisherman (and women too !) Can't wait to get after those hard fightin' Clear Lake basses, seeing old friends and making new ones. If you arn't there, you're gonna miss a great time. sTony and crew put on a fun filled week-end, and there's no bett...

Mitch

Ok Steve, what are you drinking so early in the morning......lol Must just be you, cause I don't have 'em.

Mitch

Make sure you have a signed pink slip, and a Bill of Sale. Then take them and the Boat and Trailer to the DMV. They will want to verify the numbers on the Trailer.

Mitch

Super glue and line do not mix. Always put the glue on the hook at the bend or on the shank only, not on the eye. It weakens the line and makes it very brittle. Also, It's always a good idea to carry some super glue in your boat , it's saved the day and got me back on many ocassions. (Like fixing br...

Mitch

I just redid my 520 seats. I have the twin buckets vs the bench seat. I called Ranger and ordered the outer "Skins" which did not include the inserts. They were $ 85 ea and were a perfect match to my existing coverings. I removed the seats (4-bolts=5 min ea) and took seats and new skins to...

Mitch

Where ever you post it, be sure to put a pic with the post. A GOOD ONE. not one from across the street, but one that shows as much as you can. I find the best to be from the front quarter showing the whole boat. Good luck, I've sold 3 on WesternBass

Mitch

Mike, I fly to Mexico every year (El Salto) and take 7 rods with me. I built a rod tube out of a 7'4" piece of 4" black PVC pipe. I place the rods in by reversing eveery other rod, then wrapping a hand towel (folded in half end to end) around each end and held with a couple of rubber bands...

Mitch

Lucky for you !!! Sent you a PM. Enjoy the vacation

Mitch

Room mate FOUND................Thanks

Mitch

Room mate called today to say he can't make the ClearLake Pro/Am June 9-10th. I have a room at Konocti Resort for Thurs-Sun with 2 beds. $89+tax per night split by 2. Also have reserved slip available. Call Mitch Mitcheltree (559) 307-1503 WARNING......I do snore !! LOL LOL

Mitch

It's pretty chicken S*&#@ of the seller to do this. HOWEVER, you pretty much are stuck without a written contract. Would I pony up the additional.....? NO WAY !!! Would I give this guys name out to other potential buyers ? YOU BET !!! That kind of dealing is total BS. If you advertise something ...

Mitch

As a part time trucker and fisherman I can attest to the fact that you WILL get pulled over for towing a boat or any other trailer if you exceed the posted speed limit or over 55 on the freeway. CHP has been hammering Hwy 99 from Bakersfield to Modesto in the last month. (they got new LASER toys ! )...

Mitch

Guess you can't read the JOKE in my post..........(hint ....LOL !!!!)

Mitch

These baits are in high demand. I got some on E-Bay and also from www.usacproshop.net You could also try www.tacklewarehouse.com Good luck, by the time you get them, the swimbait bite will be over. LOL

Mitch

You can send them to Shimano in Irvine, they charge $20 + parts. Sometimes they take from 4-6 weeks tho, I would call them first.

Mitch

Try not running the hook back into the tube at the back, but after going thru the nose, lay it along side, run it thru about 1/8" of the side of the tube and skin hook the point on top. This way you don't have all that tube to interfear with the hook on the hook set, but remains weedless

Mitch

Most likly your condition is from something other, like your work or sports, and is then agravated by flippin, This was what was happing to me. Years of pounding nails and swinging bats finaly caught up with me. I had carpal tunnel and bone fragments in my elbow. It was EXTREEMLY painful just to set...

Mitch

Damn, forgot to set the dvo. Anybody happen to record this show? Hopfully on vhs or some way I can get a copy of it. E-mail or call @ 559 307-1503 Thanks Mitch

Mitch

LOL........................I love it !!

Mitch

I use Shimano Sustain 2500's because of the Drag and the minimal line twist, also balances well with a 6'6"-7' rod, but for a great reel for a great price you can't beat Okuma Metaloids. 11 bearings and SMOOTH drag. The key to a good reel is the drag, not the price, or # of bearings. The smalle...

This is the BEST one on this forum !!!!
