Trolling Motor Bearing Cup
The Hook Line & Sinker 2nd Tournament of this season will be out of Russo's, at Bethel Island, this Sunday (October 7th). This is a great team tournament at a low cost with hot dogs and chips after your weighin. Come on down for a great day.

Re: Old Transducers
Hopefully mine will come out the easy way, but I am sure that one is factory installed for the flaher unit that was still in the dash when I bought the boat.

Old Transducers
I have a used 1988 Ranger 373V that I am cleaning up. There are a couple old transducer pucks epoxied to the hull in the bilge.
What is the best way to remove these or should I just cut the wires off ?

I think that Future Pro Tour had a tournament at Oroville on 9/29 for the Northern Division.
I have not see any results on this website or the www.futureprotour.net site yet. Vince usually has it up on www.futureprotour.net on Wednesday after the tournament.

Re: Silencing a crankbait
Thanks for the reply. But I have a quesion.
I thought of that but was worried that the Gorilla Glue would change the buoyancy. I am very happy with the lure and do not want the action to change. It will slowly float up when you stop reeling. I do not want it to rise too fast.

Re: FIRST HOOK TOURNAMENT
Gene,
At the TOC last year you said that it was going to be a 5 fish limit this year and that the umbrella rig would be allowed.
Per the 2012 / 2013 Rules it states a 7 fish limit. Can you give me some clarification?
I will see you this Sunday, September 16th at Russo's.
Thank You

Re: How to avoid snags on Delta?
When the lure gets snagged (and you did NOT set the hook) try using the bow and arrow technique to pop it loss. Let out about 3' of line and engage reel, if using a baitcaster put your thumb on the spool so that there is no overrun. Pull the line between the reel and the first line guide with the ha...
