I'm packing mine up too Mac. I plan on selling the old girl in the spring. My boating days are over. I'll be selling off the majority of my fishing stuff as well. Didn't fish enough the last two years to justify all that stuff.

Hopefully it's not health issues or anything? What's the problem?  :o

I do love the gardens Bill.

No fooling....I'm gonna do it. No health issues here ( thanks for asking though) I'm a very healthy 68 but, I have enough fishing stuff to open a good sized tackle shop. It's time to do an inventory reduction. I'll keep a few rods and stuff, but the bulk of it is gonna go. I simply don't fish enough to justify all that stuff any more.

I'm thinking I might just turn it into a bigger wood lathe for the little wood shop👍

Going to winterize the boat tomorrow and drop it off at the storage facility on Sunday.  With the purchase of the new place we have a ton of work to do in order to move our things out of the old place and home to store till next spring.
Would rather keep fishing in the boat for another month or more but putting it away early is the logical decision.
Wow!  Now I’m becoming logical.

I might pull it out this weekend.
For sure next weekend.
I need to get that Ulterra mounted and a few other items done.
And the browns are already active out of Olcott.
I gotta get moving.
Gonna be an early start this year I'm thinking.

Sweet!!

Just renewed the registration on my boat trailer. Going to bring the boat home for some TLC. Needs a new starter on the motor. Other than that it should be good to go. Don't trust late ice. Think spring.

I had the boat in mind last week but the thaw and refreeze have left the best ice this season.  Got at least another week to go here......

Well, if you ever get that tub running and quit working on it, I’ll take a ride with you.

Was looking out the window at my boat this morning. Even took a ride over to the canal to see what it’s doing. Hate these in between months. It’ll be a while for me.

I can always be bought.

Brought my baby home from hibernation today.  I have some work to do on her but then Jeff and I will hit the browns and coho up in Olcott on Lake O.  New tires and batteries.  Also installing the Ulterra bow mount trolling motor.  Taking it to a buddy’s machine shop to fab the bracket for it along with a safety bracket for the kicker for while I am ever towing it.  I don’t feel safe with the bracket that motor sits on.  I’ve seen a couple kickers that came down and bounced off the pavement at 65-70mph.  They didn’t look pretty.

Its a good day when the boat comes home! I uncovered mine the other day. Snowmobile season is over for 2021 so all attention will be on getting the boat fish ready. I have some projects myself this year, one being the trailer brakes.

Didn't know you had such good taste in trucks too? LOL
