Took the boat out today with friends and their family. It was just going to be a cruise but I took 1 rod with a lure on it just in case, left the tackle box home. Caught a snook on the way to their house on the Pellam waterway, and a redfish later in the day out by the harbor. Didn't fish much but covered many miles just sightseeing. Was windy as heck. Crawled up to this bald eagle eating a trout, he let us get close but not close enough for the cell phone cam....

Closed on our house 12/18, moving van dropped our stuff 12/19, wife went in the hospital 12/22, surgery on 1/9. Now home and on the mend. Finally got a few shrimp to pitch off the dock - second cast, 16" red. Not a keeper, but felt awesome anyway.

Did someone say "Yuengling(s))))"!?!?
Now your talking!
I just had my boat all tuned, and oiled, and lubed (I know girls - it sounds really sexy! ), I'm waiting for my gps (so I can find my way - I always need good guidance - of course all the lady's already know that.) So I will be able to venture out again.
We will go out when it comes in.
Did you get your boat yet?

He changed the oil, here at the dock, serviced the whole engine, changed spark plugs, and a fuel valve that had frozen open, lubed everything, checked the condition of all the pumps and gaskets and it was $475.00.

I'd have done it for 474. LOL.
When's the last time you changed your impeller/water pump kit?
Don't forget to check your 2 zincs.
