Snow is flying at many of the NE ski resorts already! Looks like another cold one. :happy:

I was thinking of hauling 2nd or 3nd week in Nov general unload of gear and basic clean-out (ie: remove all fish scales), toss in a few moisture wick bags in the closed areas and have the engines serviced, winterized, shrink-wrapped and put away till spring. What's your plan?
I have a few more fishing trips planned but I see the end now...:(
can't complain too much, pretty good season.

Sandman.
I pull it when my marina turns off the fresh water at the slips. Usually after 2-3 nights of below freezing temps. Hopefully that won't happen for a few more weekends...

after the run dies off.

NOT+++++++++++++++++++++++===:D

I made my appt for Nov 22......

I can't take this winter #^&#^&#^&#^&e already. I am beginning the downward spiral......I need to move........

wha wha wha:crying:

Middle of next week before it"s too cold to work on it. Then have to pm Clamma.

Most probably sometime next week. I have to run it over to Montauk first, so the weather will have a lot to do with it.

Winterizing the big boat Sunday. I'll keep the skiff running till it snows.

People actually winterize boats and stop fishing? My joints have to get far worse and gas prices go much higher, for there are always fish to be had.

I'll probably put mine away in beg. of Dec.

Im all done, Im with you bob Id fish it all year but with the i/o I need to winterize it if only I had a warm garage I would have kept it out till the end of nov but I am too busy with different things going on this will empty my plate a little!:(

See my post...

Well with temps predicted to be up into the 60s and possibly 70s this coming weekend, it will be atleast another week for me....:)

I will try to Cod fish right in to Dec.?? Jan can have some nice days to go for Cod also!!
Now that I have a out board I have extened my season Indefinitely!!
The thing is at the old house I had a car port and the boat was under that all the time!! That was great. Now I have none so the snow will be in the boat all the time if I don't cover it. So I guess it will be covered sometime end of Nov beginning Dec.

MacoJoe,

Been wanting to get into the cod fishing but haven't a clue where to go what time of season, could you shed a little light on cod fishing for me??;)

I'm wondering if this spring/summer I can plan a trip down the Intercoastal Waterway to Key West and then phone the wife that the boat is having trouble and I have to rent a house down there.

Would something like that work?

You can't make the trip alone. I'll have to go with you.:happy:
