Hmmmmmm, ya got me thinkin, Blue

Thanks G, the only thing that would make fishing better is a bacon bagel. Not a lot bagels south of I-10, but we do have cat head biscuits with link sausage.

Went surf fishing yesterday. Of course wind was howling ended up wade fishing for trout. caught this guy on a trout lure gotta love this time of year

toughest decision when fishing, should i stay or should i go? going local today, we'll see how that works out this is how he ended up, the big one fed 4 of us

This is the other design Chese came up with, has all 3 of the V20s. this is the sticker MJ had made

Chesapeake was the one who had the design. I think he ended up giving the deign to the site.

The spring run started about 10 days ago. Ive been 5 times with no fish. i thought i'd lost my touch.. Decided to try a new spot 35 miles east of us. turned out to be the right decision. eating good this weekend the one on the bottom is a stud 15" the rest and 13 & 12.

Site started Feb-March 03

Like G said, nothing better than fishing with family and enjoying the outcome. Looks like a great time for all.

those look GREAT!!!

Good looking toad stools Is that the same as the little dried up ones i get at the Asian grocery store? If so,those are huge

Who knows what anything cost anymore, but that’s a lot o work. Also depends on materials used in the rebuild. Lotta gray area. If u got the boat for nothing. And 6-8 months later u had a V20 with new stringers , cap, etc. I’d say it’s worth it. But no matter what u do to that hull, only worth...

Looks like a challenge. Not sure what engine you have, anyway to use NEMA to import gauge info and display on screen?

Agree with DM, bow pulpit is the way to go. Allows control of anchoring while standing in cabin. Also when anchoring shallow, lets me ease up until anchor is vertical and the bump forward to pop anchor out of mud. Rail also gives me a place to store anchor ball on deck.

i kept mine because of my kids and their friends. We pull up to the sand bar or island and they all hug out in the cabin or on the bow. Does give a false sense of security to some, i see lotta kids riding on the bow with legs hanging over. Not a smart move.
