It's official
 

I'll be north this year. Looks like Ill be at Herington Harbor South :)
Looking forward to mixing up with the CB Angler crowd. In the interim ill be knocking the dust of the boat changing oil, waxing, and installing some new toys...


Cant wait....


ill be on B dock


Bruce?

Nice, I will be on B dock as well. When are you heading down?

Ill be in on the 15th. Looking forward to having the old girl back in the water.

if you go a little north, you will run into us. I am either going to be out of Annapolis or the South River for Trophy Season (possibly Oak Grove Marina behind the Yellowfin for a month - my buddy runs the marina)

:confused:

You do realize Herrington Harbor South folks fish in their Sunday-Go-To-Meeting clothes and drink imported beer with their pinkies sticking out right?

They are the uppity neighbors :rolleyes:

If you're ever up for an Am'urican beer and a shot in a dirty glass, come down to the Harbor. :D

I'm not sure if Mangos will let you belly up to the bar covered in fish blood? We not only tolerate it - we applaud it. :)

Tawn;
Bruce is at Herrington Harbor South too. I know what you mean:eek:

Lol ... Premium Am'urican beer right there!

Those hoity–toity HHS guys :rolleyes:

I cover the docks with blood every trip I take out of there. The good thing is that when I go to the tiki bar with a bloody shirt after cleaning fish, people just seem to move out of my way and let me sit all by myself:D. You just have to know how to play the game.

Well played sir. :D

Definitely need to need to work on lowering the standards :D sounds like Bruce has already done some preliminary ground work.

I am wrong but I thought Herrington Harbor does their slip rental yearly. I am looking to somewhere close to there for April through June. Any ideas ?

You can call Herrington North or South and get a temporary slip. I think the Rod and Reel at Chesapeake Beach will rent also.

Sounds like this was the year a lot of us gave our boats some tender loving care (also known as maintenance)...

My baby is in Ed Miller's hands...New water pumps, oil change, and harmonic balancers were added to the motors, looks like the carb on the generator had to be cleaned, new control board for the AC, and some wiring...Ah the things we do for out boats...Have to say I have spent more money on my boat every year for the last 20 years than I have spent on my wife....:rolleyes:...

Hoping all the work is done this week and she will get splashed as soon as she is back at the marina...Can't wait to get out...

Garlien,

My boat is in Ed's hand. Right now as well. I too had to replace the harmonic balancer this year with only 150 hours on my motor. So, while he had it I took the liberty of having a side scan transducer added, new digital antenna, and a few other small goodies

You all need to get your hands dirty and learn how to work on your motors, especially outboards! I know Mike, your used to keyboards but wrenches really don't hurt your hands. Once you learn the basics it's so simple. Not that I'm bAshing Ed or anyone else, but once you learn the basics they are still happy to help you because it frees up their time. Ed helped me through a over voltage problem that luckily I could diagnose but Ed was happy to confirm before I ordered parts. Once regulator was in hand and installed both our diagnosis end were correct and it freed him up to work on yours!

Mike I would love to learn how to do more on the boat, but the issue is time...Work has been and continues to be out of control...

I have to make a choice, work on the boat in my spare time, or fish from it...Have to go with the fish from it idea...

I know I could save a crap ton of money by doing a lot of it myself, and hopefully one day I will get there, just is not going to happen this year....

:(

If you ever want to replace a LED Spreader light; I have a sledge hammer, chain saw, and electrical tape:D

Don't do it Mike! Please don't do it!
