Taking the boat down the weekend of the 11-12th. Whats biting? Probably staying in the bay, I have only had the boat out a couple times and not 100% confident in it yet.
 
I had a chance to fish out ocean city tomorrow. The guy I was gonna fish with went 26 for 30 on white marlin today after his 45 minutes of limiting out on yellow fins. The offshore report up there is insane right now.
 
If you can, be sure to post lots of pics of OC. I grew up in that area and only get to revist every couple of years. I'm curious as to what things look like up there these days. Good luck fishing!!
 
Sorry I didnt get any pics, the only day it didnt rain I forgot my camera.
We got 75 keeper croakers and 2 keeper flounder. The boat ran good but the drive home wasnt fun. I know I can replace axle bearings along the side of the road. I think I am going to carry a spare set or two with me from now on.
 
Good catch! Its all fun till you get home look at the pile of fish and then its "ah sh!t! Whos gonna clean all these fish!" We limited out in sheephead once. Four people on board sixty fish. NEVER AGAIN! You should never leave home without spare bearings. Even better get a hubbed sparetire mount. Then no messing with lug nuts. Pull the cap, remove the pin, twist the nut off, pull the hub and slide new hub on with bearings. I would even do that with a flat. Thats how much i hate lug nuts!
 
thats a good idea. I was lucky and saw thw wheel about to fall off, then backed into a parking lot. The wheel and hub came off without taking the hub nut off. The other side I saw it smoking and pulled into another parking lot with a pepboys right next to it.
 
Is your trailer single or double axle. It might be time to check all the bearings. The most common mistake with hubs is tightening the spindle nut too much. A guy in the local forum replaced all his and smoked them a week later, because he knew more than everybody else and torqued them down too much. Also get a bearing grease backer. Worth its weight in gold. I have the one that is two cones that screw together and for the money i paid for it i cant believe i did not buy it sooner.
 
Its a double axle. I am going to rebuild everything before the next trip. At least it happened on the way home and not on the way there. I wouldnt have been very happy to miss out on fishin.
