So we keep going.

When Bam!!! CB Has got a monster Cod!! Rod bent in half!! And what does Sir drop alot do, Lost it!! *>:(

Then just 50 yards away some guy in another boat catches what was like a 40 pound Cod 10 min later!! *>:(

But with CB's short comings we still manged 5 keeper Cod for the table! *;D But no one thought of taking pic's of them *:-[

But the day was flat calm!! And boat ran well till got to the boat ramp and the power tilt wasn't working??? After inspection found that the tilt motor cover rotted a hole in it and I lost all the oil!!
So Now i have to find a new one!!

O did i say we had a great day yet?? *;)

We really did and i am glad we went! It was the last trip of the year, it was a great weather day, got some cod, and hung with a good buddy (yes I still love you CB *:-*

$203 for new Trim/Tilt motor. Or I found a hole used trim unit on ebay for $175 + $25 shipping (so far) I might go for the whole unit this way I have all the parts I ever need if anything else were to go wrong??

Nice! I love the "After" shots of the keepers. Practicing "catch and eat" myself!

Re: MJ & CB Cod Trip
 

Nice trip and good times with your bud. What about the prop? Is the batter for your fish the same one you posted earlier? Bill Mc ;D

Re: MJ & CB Cod Trip
 

The Prop will live!! It has a few dings but nothing to bad.

As for the batter, It is a egg wash and then seasoned flour. nothing special. Seasoned flour with salt, pepper, oinon power, what ever .
Came out great!!

As for the power tilt & trim, I am starting another post in repairs. Please read!!
