I think your tac might be off on the ignition cycles per revolution. It was reading 2500 at about idle. As far as it “making oil” i had a 30 hp merc 4 stroke, no matter what I did it always made oil. Pretty common issue on smaller 4 strokes from what I understand.
Your fishing trips run the gamut from catch and release to full out meat trip. That's what i like about you, along with your variety of species skills. I never know what you'll be fishing for but i know you'll likely be successful. You would be a great guide.
Went jug fishing a few nights ago caught a 18 a 12 and a few 8+ blues and some channel a total of 20 fish which was are limit for me and my dad here in missouri and for anyone who wants to know i use cutbait
This might be to late but you might need more weigh towards the front of the boat specially things like coolers, batteries and stuff you might just have too much weight at the back of the boat. I had a similar problem and shifting some of the constant weight forward helped a lot
I tried cooking blackened catfish last weekend because of you............holy Santa Claus shit! New favorite way to eat cats. My wife said I can't fry them anymore.
Motor is not broken in yet. It is blow by from the rings. Run it hard and not at wot for more than 5min straight for the next 3-5 hours and she will break in and be a runner
You don't need to lower your motor. Check your trim angle when trimmed down. You may need to adjust the trim down stop location to trim down more. As long as the fin above the water pick up screen is just below the surface when you are on plane at full speed, the issue should be trim angle and weight placement in the boat.
I agree. Trim engine closer to boat. I had a old Procraft boat that wouldn’t stop porpoising. I actually has to wedge transoms to get foot closer. If all else fails…..those ugly whale tails do help stop the porpoising as well.
If you’re getting gas in your oil odds are your gas tank isn’t venting right and as the boat sits in the heat it’s pressuring the fuel system and sending gas into the block. Had this problem before. Hope this helps
TRIM DOWN BOW DOWN , MOTOR POSITION ON JACKPLATE NOT CAUSING BOW HOP , TRIM MOTOR DOWN IF YOU DONT HAVE POWER TRIM PULL PIN AND MOVE MOTOR TO NEXT HOLE DOWN
I commented this idea on Flairs video. See if you can beat him to the chase. I have an idea for your next catfish jug line. One definitely need to redo your rigs and make your own noodle lines with a weighted PVC tube for standing your tube up after a bite. Diy your own wire hook setter. Add an air tag or tile GPS to your noodles so you can find and track when it's on the move. It also doubles as a tell when you have a bite. You can even go high class and upgrade the GPS to a ibobber fish finder, temp, depth sonar. Or challenge someone to a DIY jug challenge build and roll up with your high tech noodles you made.
I'm going to take a good guess that Mullet Man knows how to clean a soft shell. Would love to see you two on the water together for a catch clean cook.
Wearin' 'em out!!! UA-cam University can learn you how to clean and cook dem turtles! For handling that motor, get you a 1 ton Harbor Freight foldable shop crane for around $250! Your future back will thank you!
Lower your Mercury until the Cavitation plate in the Foot, is about 1 inch from the bottom of your boat. Unplug your gas line from the Engine at the end of your day and it'll keep pressure from building up. Gas and oil mixed not good.
I had same problem with fuel in the oil. My problem was the gas tank diaphragm wasn’t working. Wasn’t getting enough air. Try taking it out of the fuel cap but be careful if you don’t keep it covered outside.
Your prop is oversized and engine is not turning enough RPM's . Lugging engin is causing it to make oil. I had same issue with a 115 mercury. Went to smaller prop and resolved issue.
That soft shell turtle is way better eating than the catfish for me Thanks again for another awesome video I really enjoyed it and as always I'm really looking forward to seeing the next video
Get a hydrofoil fin. Preferably the stingray. It will stop the porpoissing and increase the turning and hole shot dramatically. I had the same kind if thing you have going on.
first time ive actually seen someone on UA-cam fish with pool floats as Jugs cos man watching people use actual jugs disgusts me and also what id recommend for weights is railroad nails the hold it at the bottom where it was dropped
Hey man, my daughter (5 years old) and i love watching you on Saturday mornings, she keeps saying im a girls when you say hello boys lol if you see rhis can you do a quick ahout out little girls too 😂
I hope you found out before you lowered your motor, again, the proposing problem is how you trim your motor. I assume you do not have power trim, so, you will have to move the "trim pin" to adjust the angle of the motor. It will need to be moved closer to the transom. Your welcome.
So I see you have your Googin pack I recently purchased one I have one thing to say about it I carry a 13.8 pound pack and in my opinion for ultimate pond hoppers. The shoulder straps need more padding and need to be raised to the top of the bag more tilts down into the back too much other than that awesome pack can fit tons of gear.
Ive caught a bunch of turtles this year one was a 35lb snappier caught a 20 lb blue and few lil flatheads between 3 an 10 lbs its been a slow year for me tho
I believe fish 2 and 5 were channels but still good catch. From what i heard though a flat head is the best eating catfish where they eat live and not dead rotten stuff they are suppose to taste the best. I havent eaten a flatty i dont believe unless it was just served to me already cooked and i didnt know. Me personally like keeping catfish as pets and dont really like the taste of them but a rainbow trout is a cooler fish for sure haha they taste so good.
Please check your lug nuts I saw on the hub video that your lug nuts may be installed backwards The cone should be towards the wheel and the flat side out I see that a lot and it can be extremely dangerous as it can allow the wheel to come loose and cause a wreck
Its hard to jug on grapevine, even on the weekdays, without someone stealing your jugs or messing with them in general. If anything, you did really well to get back as many jugs as you did.
Run at wot towards end of break in to seat rings Yamaha outboards have same issue most of the time ppl have trouble with that due to have more time at idle and low rpm’s
Heck Yeah There LFG. Nicely done. Your are an animal when you comes to fishin...
Tachometer is working yes however unless I’m missing something I don’t believe it’s reading correctly. Shouldn’t be idling at 22-2300rpms
Soft shell is goood eating man those are perfect size to. UA-cam will show you how to clean and cook them. I am a Florida boy and we eat them alot.
Have been absolutely loving these past few videos in the crispy collector and the blackened catfish recipe is amazing
Awesome job, check out Jeff Barron on how to take care of the turtles
You screwed up them turtles are great eating
Turtle makes good soup flats makes the best 7 kinds of meat in the Turtle should try if you're able to

You probably won't see this, try moving your camera to the other side so we can see you pulling out of the water 😊
Great Video! Just be careful about doxing yourself when the jugs are in frame!
All of this work...when you could just get a shoter shaft motor...
Don't worry about taking the motor back off. OSG has you on that, and as a joke, don't disconnect some stuff! That was a classic!!
@maruiacancer6 im gonna show some loooove ❤ hope u Will be out fishing soon Buddy!
why is it that you don't have a net in that nice looking boat. you have the room!!

Ain't you allowed to eat turtles in Texas? Been a good bonus catch and cook if ya ask me.
Lot of work cleaning
@@throwdown613 I guess that's relative on what you think is a lot of work, for dinner and UA-cam views.
Raise your trim up to bring bow down when you're up on plane. It'll get rid of the hopping.
TRIM DOWN BOW DOWN , MOTOR POSITION ON JACKPLATE NOT CAUSING BOW HOP , TRIM MOTOR DOWN IF YOU DONT HAVE POWER TRIM PULL PIN AND MOVE MOTOR TO NEXT HOLE DOWN
Always grab turtles by the rear!
Them turtles good eatin
You need a couple sand bags in the bow to help with the porpoising
Copied your jug line design and it works great. Caught me some big ole blues on lake Tawakoni. Love your videos especially the ones with your dad.
Gotta love motorboatin', then droppin' the jugs so you can eat some kitties! 😂
That blue cat was foul hooked. You can’t keep him
You can keep foul hooked fish in Texas as long as you are not purposely trying to snag them.
Sounds like a challenge accepted. Catch clean cook soft shelled turtle soup recipe or little deep fried nuggs.
I commented this idea on Flairs video. See if you can beat him to the chase.

Dude that’s way too complicated
I doubt he does that
I'm going to take a good guess that Mullet Man knows how to clean a soft shell. Would love to see you two on the water together for a catch clean cook.
It won't be much longer before bow season starts up I hope we can see one of your new bows that you created
This was such a great video. I've got a little jon boat too and am looking forward to doing some jug line fishing.
I had a jon boat that porpoised, and added a whale tail to cavitation plate .
Wearin' 'em out!!! UA-cam University can learn you how to clean and cook dem turtles! For handling that motor, get you a 1 ton Harbor Freight foldable shop crane for around $250! Your future back will thank you!
I love the jug fishing content. Good stuff!

I highly doubt you’ll see this but a couple packs of AirTags and you wouldn’t have any more issues tracking those jugs down

Get a hydrofoil fin. Preferably the stingray. It will stop the porpoissing and increase the turning and hole shot dramatically. I had the same kind if thing you have going on.
Your porpoising is caused by heading into the wind with an overpowered engine. From NC's Worst Fisherman
Finally in the water. Crispy collection vids are the best from you unless you collaborate with lunkers
What if you just cut off the top inch or so of your Jack plate
first time ive actually seen someone on UA-cam fish with pool floats as Jugs cos man watching people use actual jugs disgusts me and also what id recommend for weights is railroad nails the hold it at the bottom where it was dropped
Dude! You are money with the jugs. You need to manufacture them. Juggs by LFG
Your idle shouldnt be 2500. Theres different settings on the tach for 2 and 4 stroke and how many pistons
Maybe try adding like 50lbs in the front of your boat. I porpoise in my tiller jet when I'm alone and ride real nice with 2 guy on the front.
You did better on heavy weighing jugs right ?? And free floating ones??
You can't trim down any more when you run? I had a 17 flat bottom with a 90 on it and if I started porpoising I just trimmed down.
Hey man, my daughter (5 years old) and i love watching you on Saturday mornings, she keeps saying im a girls when you say hello boys lol if you see rhis can you do a quick ahout out little girls too 😂

That marked up fish was in a way bigger fish's mouth, probably a huge flathead.
Eat that soft shell!! Ask Mullet Man. A small electric jack plate is very affordable.
Not gonna lie, seems like you might be too greedy with how many you are taking. Just feels excessive.
Hey man… I’m sure people have already told you but you made the chive with your fish guitar
Catch and grease oh yes the catfish fries going to be good
Nice video gotta go fishing, thanks again, you say icem down for 12 hrs do u gut them, or just icem down
Hey lFG why don’t you try shifting some weight forward in the boat first maybe the battery to the front. Or some gear up front
Bro I highly suggest trying a catch and cook with soft shell turtle. We eat them a lot here in Louisiana. They are delicious.
How is Crispy? Haven't heard anything about him
Pull the low presser fuel pump and push on the plunger if fuel comes out it’s bad if that’s not it possibly injector
Yeah gas in the oil I heard today is a sign of a power head going out so I would get that lookied into LFG.
Great jug run, really enjoyed this video as always.
Ive caught a bunch of turtles this year one was a 35lb snappier caught a 20 lb blue and few lil flatheads between 3 an 10 lbs its been a slow year for me tho
Try adding weight to the bow of your boat. Have someone sit up there & see how much difference it makes.
You just needs some fixed trim tabs on the back of the boat, that will stop the bouncing.
I believe fish 2 and 5 were channels but still good catch. From what i heard though a flat head is the best eating catfish where they eat live and not dead rotten stuff they are suppose to taste the best.

In Texas your jugs/noodles have to be any color other than orange unless you are commercial fisherman
Lfg apparently soft shell turtles are yummy. Would like to see a catch clean cook and see what you think about how they taste.
Please check your lug nuts
I saw on the hub video that your lug nuts may be installed backwards
The cone should be towards the wheel and the flat side out
I see that a lot and it can be extremely dangerous as it can allow the wheel to come loose and cause a wreck
You need to help flair on his jug game hahahaha
Are you using the 2.5 or 3.5 inch noodle? Thanks

Grapevine, Lewisville, rayhub, and more, all the local lakes!
How about an update on your Silverado and how it’s been holding up over the years?
Why didn’t you keep the softshell, they’re delicious?
I caught a blue that weighed 9.2 lbs on one of ur design noodles. Didn't do any damage at all to it.
Run at wot towards end of break in to seat rings Yamaha outboards have same issue most of the time ppl have trouble with that due to have more time at idle and low rpm’s
Make sure your cavitation plate is even with the bottom of your boat
Im surprised googan doesn’t have a line of rotomolded coolers yet
Take some binos with you. nockers really help keep track of them
I'm curious how the soft shell tastes, my grandpa said they made a good soup or stew.
your cooler is the size of a lunch box lol we jug with a 150 qt cooler.
Do you think heavier duty line and tackle would be a good idea now? Main line and leader stronger test?
Just trim down if your hopping! Trim up if your dragging!
Put that cooler towards the front, and a little weight in the front makes a world of difference .
That blue cat that was hooked in the tail is not legal to keep here. It’s foul hooked. Has to be released.
What was calling the gas in oil issue I have the same problem going on
LFG
I would kept the soft shell and threw to catfish back. The turtle is better eating
Put a level on the bottom of the boat to the fins on your lower unit level
Id bite the bullet and just buy an atlas micro jacker.
Grab them soft shells by the neck. They are good eating as well
Bet if move cooler to front boat stops porpoising. Had same issue
Are you allowed to eat soft shell turtles in Texas? I hear they are delicious.
Turtle soup? I’ve never tried it and would like too. Would be a cool video I
