Shake Down
 
Still working on the boat knocking items off of the list one by one. Been freazing my a%$ off, Washing waxing and detailing. Might not catch fish but i will look good doing it. Finaly learned the propper compounding buffing amd waxing process. Have to Love you tube. Amazing what can be acomplished. I tought my fiberglass and gel coat were in good shape. Now it shines like show room quality. Only bad part is all the birds land on it to see ther reflection and **** on it constantly.

Going to do my mecahnicial shake down tommarow before easter dinner hopefuly i wont find any eggs until i get back on the trailer. Can't wait to be back on the water in my own ride. :)


If everything goes well Ill put out both boards just to stretch the line might even put a few rods out.

HAPPY EASTER


I think the easter bunny may be placing a few dozen lures around the Sandy point boat ramp area. Keep a look out for that fishing friendly Rabbit.

Shake down went well, everything checked out.. The radar was factory serviced over the winter. Evidently FURNO wiped the configuration and all of my settings out, so i have to learn how to set everything back up. Fun fun. Water temp was 45f put the planers out to stretch the line and hopefully erase any memory left over from the spool. Dropped 6 lines in the water, worked the deep Channel edges just south of the bridge. Hardley any marks or bait in the deepwater. Didnt have time to look around for better marks pulled the lines after 2 hours with no luck. BOAT ran well. :) The bay was almost flat so a good day in my book.
