Well then - I guess this is a good time for my boat the break … had a fuel fitting at my gas tank break off … replaced it and now I’m getting air into my lines somehow - boat runs but I can’t get it over 26MPH/3800 RPM … which is about half of what I know my 150HP Yamaha can do … guess I can spend the time replacing fuel lines and primer pumps but my Wife is gonna be all over my ass to fix it so I can get her back out on the water catchin’ more fish … (**() - I hate my Honey Do list …

Yeah right!!! DAMIT man why can’t she fix the friggin’ boat, too??? LOL … hey Tim - you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about - you’ve fished with her … … I’ll fix the darn boat this week and get her out there soon enough - it’s not like the Lake’s gonna run outta fish anytime soon … or will it!!! I’d better hurry up!!!
Here’s a tip for you guys with the turn-over blues… The water in the big Saluda above Murray will be about 4 degrees colder than what you see at the towers in late Sept/ early Oct… Shad will spawn twice a year, in the spring when water temp is around 68- 70 and in the fall when water temp is about 68- 70… so if you go back and look at the surface water temps at the tower, you will realize how long the fish have been biting up in the river… the fish up there aren’t affected by the turn over. They have been up there feeding on the fall shad spawn…now the cold fronts that keep pushing through will eventually make the fish pull off into deeper water (its obviously shallower up there). Fish don’t like the fluctuating temperatures so they pull off into deeper water because it doesn’t change as much. The little Saluda is warmer than the big Saluda. So I always head for the Big Saluda first as water temps drop because its colder, then transition to the Little Saluda as it gets colder because the water there is warmer…
I’ve spent about 85% of my life’s wages on fishing, the rest I just wasted…
Has the lake ever turned over twice in one winter? I noticed that the surface temp today is 61.6 degrees, and 61.3 degrees on the bottom. The surface wouldn’t have to cool off much more to initiate another turnover.
