Again, I have not done any motor maintenance other than winterizing so maybe I could improve it a bit. Just not sure where to start. Any suggestions? I have a SELOC manual and a factory manual but haven't looked at them much.

I'd like to catch some flatties that big. We're lucky to get one 16" where I fish.

Nice fish!

Had an arduous day out Sunday starting at 5 am with my buddy. Compared to most we saw or spoke too we did well bringing in 6 20-22" fluke. The guys at my marina who normally limit out had 3 for one boat (2 guys) and the other had 1. We quit at noon......
