Who Woody Waxes their deck?

[Worthlessnut]

I really want to throw a waxing metaphor in here....

A couple of things that I do that seem to make chumming a little less messy on the deck. I i leave the chum in the bucket I bought it in and then throw it in the chum bag that way is isn't a freaking slop ball when I bring it in the boat. Also, I'm sure you already do this but I keep an empty 5 gallon bucket on the deck for containment. To keep your hands clean have a friend run the chum bag.

Jeff, you can woody wax as fast or slow as you want its yours Seriously though, I like using the non-skid deck cleaner with PTEF that Starbrite makes. I find it helps from having stains set in too bad and I'm leary about waxing walking surfaces. The big thing is to keep the hose handy

I have no problem slinging chum.. That is what bleach is for!

And THAT is the real problem, it's not so much the deck, as I do keep the hose handy and use it often, but somehow chum seems to end up all over the place because people need to cast back to "where the fish are waiting". Guts go flying everywhere!!
I do like the idea of someone else working the chum bag . I used to buy chum in a 4gal square bucket (kitty litter was in it originally I think). I made a floating bucket holder out of a milk crate and PVC. Cut a hole in the lid and could flip bucket right side up and pull in the boat to move. It worked well and I still have it I think but can't get the square buckets of chum anymore. The guy would dump a flat of frozen buggy into a woodchipper to "grind" it!! Makes me think of the movie Fargo

Your boat is just too pretty and new Jeff... Give it a few years and a bunch of hours. The advantage to your nice dark hull is that chum stains dont show on the sides as easily
