Lake Jocassee cruise 6-17-2024 (2024)

We had a great day on Lake Lanier, the Chattahoochee, Little River and Wahoo Creek today. Launched at noon at River Fork and did about 60 miles. What a day

Is this thing on?

Is this thing workin?

Craigslist and FB Marketplace. Be wise though, plenty of scammers out there these days.

Hi Sherry, I don't know what site you're referring to. But if it's a regular boat,Facebook marketplace. Or a feather craft, post here or on the feathercraft Facebook page

Need some help guys, this is Mrs Razor. John is selling a couple boats. What site did you mention a while back on here? JR I think you have used it.... let me know will you ?

PM sent Marc

JR, that's great to hear! So glad the underground railroad is full steam ahead!!

Mike, that's just over two hours from my house. Maybe we can make plans to meet up. Are you staying the weekend?

Marc I'll be in Michigan next month for the Constantine Super Meet.

The incredible FC network is working from NC to NY to NH and from NC to TN to Ill. to LA. Amazing bunch of nuckleheads we are! JR, Soho Rivethead, Brunswickian, Rick G. and Big Bad John . Thank you!

Good luck fishing for some lures Mike.

I sometimes forget, as I get busy, what a great group of good folks are on this site. I love all y'all !!!

It's hot! I'm in Crystal River for an Antique Tackle show.

Mike my nextdoor neighbor is down in Florida, how's the weather down there? You in the woods this weekend?

Hi Jabez.cheer to ya and all!

Cheers to y'all, beautiful weather up here, cold beer in order

I'm sure if Ray had owned a lawnmower....it would be pulling wheelies.

I know! But its another amazing factoid not everyone knows.

Believe it or not, I have never owned a lawnmower!

And your lawnmower if you had one of those.

The same goes for my motorcycles and my Mustang.

I always use non-ethanol high octane gas unless it’s not available, if not available, I try to not buy more than I expect to use right away.

I am lucky to live in Tennessee where there has always been easy access to non-ethanol fuel.

Thanks Ray. My '98 Yamaha runs super strong too. When you say good gas what do you mean.? Straight gas? What about years ago when there was no ethanol problems what grade of gas were you running?

I have always run good gas and extra oil, so that explains a lot.

I've re-jetted it but never had any need to do more. I shaved the head years ago, so I have replaced the head gasket, many impellers and the seals in the lower unit.

Ray, have you rebuilt the carb yet on the '98 Jonny?

Jabe well that’s good! Ontario/Quebec both had tornado warnings yesterday there was damage done from what I seen on weather network. Western news I guess hey haha

Thanks for the concern, haven't heard anything around here about tornados

Jabe hope your clear of any tornado rolling through I’m hearing about!

We've been comparing broccoli cultivars this spring. We grew and are still growing a boatload. Started from seeds. I cooked and served broccoli for the two dinners I attended.

Should have said something JR. Dan left Randi with all the broccoli.

Back in FtL, temp 91 degrees. I enjoyed TN

The cauliflower wave just hit! Picked about 15 yesterday. Twister a self covering hybrid.

I know Dan. I still love you. I didn't get any of the broccoli though. Damn.

Back in the woods, about 9 1/2 hrs, light rain some of the way.

Yeah John but you are skinny! BTW, I believed you the first time and was just poking fun.

Great to see everyone and as usual thank you Ray(always something) for adjusting the trim tabs on the Rocket.Smooth as glass. And yes Dan ......30mph.!

I missed seeing you and John at Arrowhead. I hope you can make it this fall. John was my first outboard motor mentor.

Going to miss this spring. John particularly wishes he could be there. Hopefully fall. Just wanted to let you know Ray so you don;t count on us for Friday. Y'all have a great time on the river.

oldlure has arrived, about seven boats here already.

Safe travels, see some of you late this afternoon.

Jabe are you crossing the border this month?

cheers Jabe!

Cheers from Canada

Hey Syd, I sent you a PM

That was Summersville Lake, WV.

John, ten years ago or so this started. Remember the lake in W.Va I was on my hands and knees, couldn't stand up. Taking potassium helped but I think now its old age. No pain, just no strength.

Carol, Sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. I hope you are not in too much pain.
