I've used this to precisely set the troll speed hundreds of times now. It's still working perfectly. Locks in and holds the RPM exactly at the speed I need. Set it and forget it!👍

Glad it helped you out!

This was early in the run and on a weekday. Shad fishing is becoming more and more popular since other fishing opportunities are decreasing. The sad part is, there are a lot of people who catch as much shad as they can, and that 's a lot because they are pretty easy to catch, but they just waste them since they don't really eat them, they just throw them away. If you don't plan on eating them, please practice good conservation and catch and release. Thanks for the comment and for watching. Tight lines and good luck.

Thanks for watching and for the comment. Give it a try. It's a lot of fun and the shad are real fighters. Heading down soon myself. Leave a comment on how you did. Always fun to hear updates. Good luck and tight lines.

You're right. I used a bilge pump before. The problem I ran into is that the bilge pump was pretty narrow and the shrimp were crushed. But maybe I just wasn't using it right. There's a thousand way to skin a cat as they say.

Thanks Rick. I hope it helps you get on the shrimp! And thanks for the comment.

You're welcome. Congrats on the new motors. I'm sure this mod will work out perfect for you for trolling. Especially if you troll at lower RPM's. I've been using mine for couple years now without replacing the rubber and it stills works great.

Martin, that’s the great thing about invention. I’m sure you can come up with something that might be lower cost. Be sure and let us know what you come up with.

Yes, it can only add friction if you don’t tighten it down hard. Thanks for the question and for watching.

Thanks Paul. I hope it helps you get a bucket of shrimp. And thank you for watching.

It can get heavy fog in May. Also, it's important to check swell height at period and wind because the mouth of the marina is perpendicular to the waves and can be dangerous because the waves are coming in from the side as you try to go out and back in. You can call the Coast Guard station and ask for sea conditions. Thank for watching. Hope you do well.

Thanks, I'm going the las week the May 24 wish seen there 🎉🎉

Good luck Antonio. Might see you out there. Be sure and check the weather and swells. Have Fun and let us know how you do.@@antoniojacobo2811

Glad it helped you out. Hope you can use your new "gun" to get a bucket load of sand shrimp.

@@Baywolf_films best bait in the world that I know of. Happy fishing!

100%. Tight lines.@@danno5805

Great question. It’s ok to use a net. It just takes longer than to just lift them over the side. We did use a net on the ling cod. Thanks for watching.

We launched from a private property launch and pulled out at the crossover bridge. Not sure what the launch is called. My friend knows them.

@@Baywolf_films thats Patty's Barn .

Yes, it is. Sand shrimp, or ghost shrimp they are also called I was told, are excellent bait for all kinds of fish. Here in the Pacific Northwest we use them for all salmon species, Steelhead and Surfperch. But almost any fish will grab em. They are like candy. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

It was a great trip. Seeing the river from a trip down it like that is highly recommended.

Thanks Chef...Wish you could have made them into lunch for us all! 😉😋

Thanks. It's always fun fishing with you. Hope we can get out again soon my friends.

I feel your pain. But I did find a solution, at least in my case. I found that if I warm the motor up really good she purrs at very low rpm just above idle. I troll at 1.2 for Kokanee and after warming up the motor by running it at near WOT for about 5 minutes while pushing the boat around I can throttle down and lock it at just over idle and she will sit there and purr for hours. Be sure and run it back up to higher RPM before shutting down after prolonged trolling. I believe that helps clean out the pistons and valves. Hope that works for you too. Check back in and let me know.

@@Baywolf_films Just wanted to give you a follow up, I went trolling today and remembered your advice. I ran the kicker around going to wide open now and then and then sure enough the RPMs were much more tame from idle. You have no idea how much frustration you just saved me. Big thank you man.

@@callmekham8458 Excellent news. Made my day to know it helped. Hope you were successful trolling.

Thank you. Yes. One of the rivers that still has a pretty good spring king run.

Glad it could help. I’ve been using it going on a year now and it works perfectly!

Thanks Frank. Yes, in Cali there is a limit. Here in Washington there is no limit...yet.

Thanks for watching. The perch absolutely love sand shrimp. In fact, we call them perch candy! Here is a link to a video I put together on how to build your own sand shrimp gun. czcams.com/video/m-9JW1eeHvU/video.html Happy shrimping and hope you get on the perch!

Thanks for watching and for the compliment Raymond. Tight lines and remember to take a child fishing.

Unfortunately with more and more limited access available to sportsmen it's becoming common for "pay to play".

Thanks Werf. It was a blast sight fishing for these.

Nice action! Great video

Thanks, appreciate the comment and the subscription. @@allkindsofoutdooractivities

Thanks my friend. It was special to have time together. Never enough.

Thanks Coach, the camera work could be better. Hope all is well with you.

You're welcome. Glad to help. Thank you for watching and for the positive comment.

Thanks Frank. I hope it helps you out. Thanks for watching.

Lol!! No…that was my shoe that I was drying on my trailer that fell to the floor. I assure you, no animals were harmed in the making of this film. 😂

Hey Coach. Thanks. Hope all is well with you. With the demise of SD Board, I haven't been able to follow your adventures as closely. Can't wait till you post some more.

Thanks for watching Ron. I hope it helps you get on more fish.

Thanks for watching Greg. The cove located in the northeast end of the lake. At least until the water temps warm up a bit. There is an underground stream there and the water is shallower and thus warms faster. Please hit the like button if you enjoyed the video, as it help it get to others. And please, take a child fishing. We need a new generation to enjoy the sport and help protect our beautiful outdoors.👍

Had a great day and a lot of fun! Can’t wait till the next adventure.

I noticed that there are a lot of different things that people use that work. Thanks for the tip on the florescent green beads...I'll give them a try this year.

Sure do. Here is a link to the one I got. www.amazon.com/Maintenance-Tachometer-Motorcycle-Paramotors-Snowmobile/dp/B07MXXLXFP/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1T9TMXDVN7PU6&keywords=hour+meters+for+small+engines&qid=1675012861&sprefix=hour+meter%2Caps%2C182&sr=8-5

The install instructions are very easy. I don't have a video, but the package has instructions. Simply, just wrap the wire four times around your #1 spark plug wire near where it goes on the plug. Use a small zip tie to hold it in place. Gives RPM and hours. Pretty cool.

@@Baywolf_films thank you and very much appreciated. wow i didnt know it was that simple🤦‍♂ also it gives rpm too thats also what i wanted to add as well. 2 bird with one stone yes!

@@BillaBong1 You're very welcome. Glad I could help.

Glad that you enjoyed it and happy that it will help you get out and enjoy some of the bounty of the Pacific Northwest. And welcome to one of the best places in the United States to live.

moving to a coastal Oregon town sounds so beautiful. hope you love it there

@@hooked4 Thanks!! If I knew I’d be this happy up here, I would’ve moved sooner!! I’m happier than pigs in slop!! 🥰

@@Fishbabies look at you. blooming where you're planted that's beautiful

Nitro, glad this will help. Thank you for watching and for the comment. I found it really helps to get the motor good and warm before trolling and to throttle up every hour or so to blow out the unburnt fuel and carbon. Get on those 'eye's bud! 🎣

Thanks coach!

Thank you for watching. Yes, your neoprene waders will work fine. Ours have the boots attached. Just be VERY CAREFUL not to go out very far. The waves can stack up and lift you right off your feet. Never turn your back to the waves and keep an eye out always. You don’t have to go out more than knee deep because the fish are in close. Good luck, stay safe and let us know how you do.

@@Baywolf_films many thanks….nice channel as well sir. I’ll watch for new posts.
