Some Boating Pics...

Got me (2) of these little things couple weekends ago.

 

Multi-Fuel, for those waterfowl hunters out there.

 

Potomac River catfishing

 

Most of you guys think this is trash fish but you don't know what you are missing.




Also ran into some friend out there. Must of been at least 100. Can see a bunch splashing in the background too.

What kind if fish? They look like little baby tunas.

 

I had a little fun on the kayak yesterday. A couple of dolphins gave me a good scare when they decided to come check me out. I didn't get any good pictures of them, though.

 

We call it Aku.

Everyone else calls it Skipjack Tuna

Those were from 15lbs to 21lbs so almost as big as they get.

 

Now this is the way to go.....

 

Sounds like some fun fishing!

I've been having no luck in Florida this year. It was cold for the first few days and the fish aren't falling for my usual tricks.

 

Got this little guy last October

 

Nice!

 

One of the greatest outboards ever built. Don’t even have to winterize it, 26 years old. Nobody has ever messed with it. I broke a bunk last year putting in by myself.

 

Oh Yes the Old Johnson and Evinrude boat motors were near bullet proof both were owned and built by the same company, 1968 Evinrude 55Hp that I rewired (picture is before rewiring it) for a boat Project when done it ran awesome! it was a little big for the boat I put it on but! wooooo!

 

I did have the carbs serviced professionally and fog the cylinders every fall. The carbs can be taken apart and rebuilt but there’s channels you can’t get into. I just picked up 2x4’s to replace my trailer bunks. A Mud Dauber clogged up the water tube.

 

Atleast the battery didn’t blow up on me this is gonna be a good year.

 

The boat project I picked up had been sitting in a guy's Barn for 8 years un-touched and he was pulling it out to scrap it when I saw it and offered him $50 for it and surprisingly he had the title for it in the glove box of the boat! So I took it and reworked the entire boat and trailer so it was "new" all over again, I ran it for a few month then someone made me an offer I could not refuse... I will find another small boat project again this fall to do.

 

Nice work.

 

Getting the boat ready for some fishing this weekend!

 

I’m about to go nocturnal.

 

I also had to replace the tilt shock. I had to beat the hell out of the upper pin to get that suck out. And cut it in pieces with a sawzall. But its a brand new shock.

 

Anything yet. I’m just throwing a twister tail crappie jig. One of my all time favs.

 

I landed a 28 pound cat on a twister tail here.

 

Just one little bluegill haha. But I threw it in the livewell and put it in my bass pond

 

It has been doing everything from Lighting with high winds Pouring rain, Snowing and small hail here for the entire weekend and raining hard again today so not exactly best time to be out on a boat fishing and shore fishing is rather out also due to the deep mud....

 

yeah those are Darwin Award conditions

 

Well, I’m supposed to drop off the outboard tomorrow I will get some “in tow” pics.( my trailer has an antique tag).

 

Rolling antique. Guy wants $400 just to take the lid off the outboard.

 

Yes, I still have my original impeller it’s been pissing water for 26 years!

 

This rig set me back $13.5k! I had to get loans. $8 a hour!

 

The tech told me to spray this all over the engine.
