4 hours away. As long as I don't have any trailer tires blow up. And my tow vehicles hold up.

Truck trans is about gone. Had it rebuilt in November. Towed a couple tons of dirt yesterday and trans temp hit 250! Still under warranty but not enough time to get it fixed. Guess ill have to borrow my dads duramax. I hate borrowing stuff.

better to find out now than on the road.
I had transmission issues coming back from the keys,700 miles from the house. Not a good feeling.
Hope it all works out, looking forward to fishing reports.

250 ain't good. I'm assuming it was in tow/haul mode?

F350 transmission acting up. Pulled it out and dropped it off at trans shop. Great timing!

Removed a birds nest from my penn reel. Lost a little line but I don't catch anything anyway. Not sure why I even take rods?

if you want to guarantee a hot bite, leave it at the house.
Just looked Ocean City Md up on the map. Looks like a fishy place and crabby on the bay side. I m curious, what s the correct pronunciation of Assawoman Bay. I would think the T-shirt rights alone would be worth a fortune.

Transmission fixed. Guy installed a gasket wrong when he rebuilt it. Not sure how it lasted this long. Early day today only 8 hrs. Gonna put it back in tonight.
No tow haul on this one. Can turn od off. Have the chip turned to tow mode, I just leave it there. Most times I'm towing something anyway.

Only 1 keeper blue so far. Small flounder, sea bass and crocker. Still have today yet.
Wind bad yesterday from storm.
Tried to go out in Ocean earlier in week and turned around. Waves were big. Not fun fishing in that.
