Hey guys thanks for the replies back on it. I was hoping someone else besides myself would get a kick out of it also. I'd taken it apart and cleaned it up real good. And I lubed the the inside with some Crisco and started thinking wouldn't that be great if
it left a little oil slick behind like most 2 strokes do.

Hey Plum It went to a toy boat that I had gotten sometime in the 1970s I think. The boats been long gone. I don't know why but I've always held on to this little motor. I can't count how many times I've had to dig it out of the trash can. Because my mom kept trying to throw it out. Maybe that's why l've held on to it for so long.

That's right and Charley don't surf

One of the few things I have left from my childhood. And since we seem to be in the era of repurposing things to keep them out of landfills.

Wow you can't beat that. I'm waiting on a new fish that been stuck somewhere between Salt Lake City and Sparks NV for close to a week now.

I've been see a lot of adds for them as of lately. I think I saw something about on aired during the super bowl but I can't confirm it though. I just wonder how long it takes to arrive. I've been trying to stear clear of Chinese made products lately but that's kind of hard these days when just about everything's being made in China

I got ya covered

Yeah I've had a couple of those days myself. I've come across a few really expensive lures. That I never drop that much cash on Iure. But they're a nice addition to the arsenal

Hey Saw1 Sorry about that I just realized I never said where, I guess I'm just so used to only talking to my local buddy's about fishing there. It's Contra Loma

Oh yeah that's no joke Saw1, you would believe the collection of lures I've collected over the years. I got a going joke about snag proof frogs they only catch tullies. The trick is to look for the line, most of the time it's easier to spot than a lure

That's no joke on YouTube you may have to weed thru a bunch of videos first to find the good one's. But I bet you could even learn how to do basement brain surgery in your spare time off of YouTube. The closest thing I've ever come close to one of cannon's. Is my 15' surf rod I use for snaring crabs. Hey there's a side hustle the Uber of fishing. Get text pop in and cast someone's line out. And then pop back out until you get another text to pop back in and fling back out again.

Well I was only able to get about 45min of trolling in before the wind kicked up and it started getting a little rough and the whitecaps were starting to form. And Mother nature told me it was time to get off the water. So l pulled the boat and figured since I was already there I'd try some bank fishing. I was surprised at how clear the water was. The only real cloudy water was where it was lapping up.on the shoreline. But they had dropped the water level around 3' or 4' over the last couple of days. I didn't get a single bite off lures or bait. And it didn't look like anyone else did either. But I did leave with some wonderful parting gifts. Since they dropped the water it exposed a bunch of broken off lures stuck in the tullies. Where I saw one and then another and another. Look at the size of that snap swivel on the generic kastmaster he really didn't want to lose that one. I may hit it again tomorrow depending on how the wind is.

Yeah that's what I figured. I was just kind of hoping that the guy driving the truck with my package on board was ex-ice road trucker.

That's good news I know I hate sending any kind of funds thru the mail myself. I always pay a little extra so someone has to sign for it so I know that it got there ok.

Is anyone else playing around with the idea of getting out and hitting the water before the the rains start back up again on Saturday? I was hoping to be dialing in a new fish finder that was supposed to have showed up on Monday. But tracking shows that it's been stuck somewhere between Salt Lake City and Sparks NV. for the last 4 days. Now it list delivery is pending dugh. And since I've already pulled the old one out. It's back to the good olds days of fishing blind. But fish or no fish, there's nothing better than a clear sky and a cool morning. To let ya know your still alive. My favorite time of the year.
