    Anyone use pledge on their trailer brake sys

    How Bout It Smokey! You seem to have had rough season this go round. Brakes are a minor thing when compared to the engine problems that you had previously. Naturally the only way to coat those internal parts with snake oil, oops! I meant Pledge, I would think would be to disassemble the...

    NOAA Small Craft Advisory Question

    Well Spoken! A lot of well spoken commentary there folks! My take is that if a Small Craft Advisory is in effect, it pretty much applies to all boats big and small. Those days are for ships! Nothing more exciting than summer in the Gulf of Mexico when NOAA sounds the alarm for all small craft...

    Beached Grady

    Major Issues Yes Sir Barbender, major fishing issues with the spill. Fortunately it has miraculously stayed a little bit to the west of my normal fishing area by about 20 miles. Every few days the size and location of the closed area expands or contracts. Normally it ranges from around 33 to 36...

    Gulfstream too wide to trailer?

    magicalbill, yes sir! the cushion was incredibly unscathed. It was high and dry on that solid concrete and by some miracle I think all the passerbys except for my opportunistic buddy must have thought it was a styrofoam ice chest lid. I still can't believe that I got it back. I cussed the poor...

    Gulfstream too wide to trailer?

    Cushion came home! Yo Ho magicalbill! How's it going! A comment you made last week about never seeing a cushion blow out of the boat, prompted me to share this one with you all. (the thread was about towing with the curtains on, up, down?) Last year on the way home from Apalachicola way after...

    Gulf Fishing Closure

    Nasty! The closed area grew to 37% of Federal waters the following day after Snapper season opened. Went out of Appalachicola in fairly rough seas on Memorial day weekend. Only went out about 20 miles due to the conditions and a seasick crew member. Did'nt really notice any oil in the water 15...

    Golden BB's All Right Ya'll! Beautiful day out of Appalachicola Friday May 7. Hindered a bit by some sea fog around the bait hole area but by noon visibilty was great and seas were calm. Wound up at our old stomping ground about 60 miles southwest of Appalachicola. Picked a few hog size...

    The Oil Slick...Kind Of Grady-Related.

    Checking it out! Hey magicalbill! How's it going. I will be heading out into the gulf friday morning to check it out. All the data that I have gathered indicates that as of yesterday the sheen was still about 80 miles west of the most western places that I normally fish. My area should not be...

    Gas station fuel and additives?

    High Octane! Yellow Boy! A good question that will probably stir up a storm of input. My situation is a little different as I am running a 300 horsepower 350. It runs very well on BP Premium with STP gas treament added @ the rate of 1 bottle per 15 gallons of fuel and for good measure I add a...
