Long winter..........

Site gets quiet for us northern V guys......and I've already worn out the assorted "how fast" posts ! :)

Feel your pain, B. Amberjack opens here tomorrow, but that is a young mans fish.

At least here, we can work on the V's till spring. Got a new radio from santa that has to be installed, 100 hour service on the motor, service the trailer bearings and hubs. Thinking about refinishing teak and re painting deck.

Spring will be here before you know it

we are lucky here, though not many here realize it. winter here is one of the best times for trout/reds and flounder too. spring is about the slowest time for inshore/near shore fishing here.

We get to work on our boats in the winter also.
It's just a bit harder and more time consuming.
Usually you're working under a tarp,shrink wrap, cover.
Running kerosene heaters trying to get things done while temps stay over 50 degrees. Not to mention you get to shovel your way to the boat first.

SO MUCH FUN! HA

LOL I never thought about that... Glad to hear I'm not the only crazy that does things like that. My wife looks at me weirdly when I tell he I'm going to go work on the boat....and it's 45 outside...and the boat is in the back of the yard.... under tarps... and there's snow on the ground.....

My salamander heater gets a workout some days....

Sadly this is more then likely coming to our backyard soon.


A few years back I replaced the rotted lower section of the salon bulkhead on our Bertram. Fun job in the middle of winter.

Yup... You guys up in Mass usually got us NJ'ers beat with the snow... (A fact that I'm happy to admit).

I winterized my first boat of the season today, boat is sold and going to New York. Now it looks like we are expecting snow this weekend, will probably be 80 by next Tuesday
