Looks good Jon! Happy for you!

If the fish are around and visible, I wait for that perfect cast. If not, I will also blind cast because I am fishing, not bird watching.

Thanks man!  Lets get after some funny fish soon.  One of the main reasons I bought it was because of the trailer and knowing I want to bring it out there and champlain.  Niagara bar will happen finally! 






Brand new trailer, less than 200 miles with kodiak brakes (supposedly a good upgrade?) So it should tow well.

Let's go. Doormat season is nearing the end. You give me a date, I will tell you where and we can hit it up. Bonito and fluke are crossing paths right now, as can Cod.

I looked up those Kodiak brakes, they don't give 'em away, that's for sure. Trailer looks awesome.

Ya I didnt have the chance to read about them Geoff.  Good to know!  Where's Mac's battery btw?  Im about to setup a sick minnkota for this!  Right under the captains seat is a perfect spot for some battery action.

Nice! Are you able to find a Terrova right now? Do you have a good spot to mount it or do you have to build a bracket? You gonna order a lithium battery from behind the Wendys? You might be able to pay Mac's guy in Dogecoin if that's more convenient.

I am on a waitlist for one.  Have a great spot to mount it and a good spot for batteries.  Will likely do 3 group 27 agms.  Had thought about 2 36v dakotas but god forbid a lithium battery gets punctured somehow...thats an unstoppable fire. 

I was at the race last night and would have slaughtered if I could have spot locked right before the tide rips...instead I salughtered my passenger with sea sickness...

I did catch a fluke though...(not mike sized)

Thanks Mike.  I completely forgot that sea sickness is a thing.  Going to grab stuff to keep on the boat for poor souls.

Im slipped in old saybrook so whenever you are ready.  Seemed to be a few near fishers.

Relief Band motion sickness Electrode Stimulator
Best thing I have seen yet, only seen it fail once (this past weekend) and I think it is the unit, as it is over 10 years old... I have put it on guys that were hanging over the rail and stopped them mid puke!
