It was a good year for me too. I am winterizing the boat this weekend.

I got better at the techniques I use - trolling, livelining and LTJ. I got fairly good at trolling for flounder too. I am looking forward to expanding that next year and trying to dial in croaker.

Now it is off to shooting trap, skeet and sporting clays. My son wants me to start shooting handguns so I may do some of that too. Anybody interested in shooting let me know.

Will also do a little woodturning in the basement. I turn bowls, goblets, etc. I have attached a picture of a type of bowl that I turn. It is called segemented turning.

As for fishing I will probably attend some of the shows if they are still around, work on tackle and poke around tackle shops.

I am looking forward to March.

Keep season isnt over yet. I am fishing tomorrow for just a few hours and hoping for a good day on Monday!

Besides. if I want to keep fish PLO and OCMD call. I am happy to catch and release too (in case you didnt know)..

fishing is just getting started!

Ok I admit it. I am wuss I winterized the boat early. I am still going to fish if I get the opportunity. Trying to schedule a Tog Trip and maybe a deep drop trip or a trip with walleye at the CBBT.

I will be purchasing my equipment to make trolling lures this weekend.

Spring is just around the corner.



Also I am upgrading the antennas on the boat to the Shakespeare galaxy type. Replacing the old fuse blocks with the new blue sea blade fuse holders. Removing and cleaning my spreader lights. Possibly installing a heat exchange heater running off of the engine block.

I hesitate to mention it for fear it might uh hum, increase effort, but Dec 16th marks the opening of the best time to fish for stripers on the Bay.
