Same here Blue, will be running into early December at least, the way its going I won't even see the best striper fishing in Raritan Bay until well into November. But I will tell you I have to learn how to take care of a boat, batteriies fuel ines, water pumps ( bildge, bait etc.) and electronics when the temp drops below freezing, I have never had a boat that I kept going during the cold months before so any help you guys got let me know.

boating season is just starting to gear up here. Big boats coming down the Intracoastal waterway everyday. Fishing is really starting to heat up. Come on down to the sunshine state.

Franco, wish I could spend the time comin' down ICW...all the way to Sebastian Inlet... whoa, that'd be a super=cool trip...run outside for a while, then back in for the night...one of these day... ;D...
WILLY...winter tip for ya; get in the HABIT of tiltin' your motor DOWN after you pull up the ramp each time...let it sit that way while you're puttin' all your stuff away and strappin' down...this will drain all the H2o from the foot and keep freezing temps from CRACKIN' the gear-case open...extra precaution...back at the house, store boat w/motor DOWN...it's become a habit for me... ;)... CAUTION: GOTTA REMEMBER to tilt her up to travel...habit, habit, habit... :)... We'll free-line stripers all winter long, come spring, pull out the Norton Snaggers and go to cut-baitin'...and I got the perfect HAT for all the above!!!... ;D...Thanks Cap'n.. ;)...

I live in Clarksville, Tennessee and fish Kentucky Lake, Lake Barkley, Old Hickory and Percy Priest. I am originally from Fort Walton Beach, Florida and we go down there as often as possible and fish the Gulf and Choctohatchee Bay. As a matter of fact, I am there right now until the 23rd.
