Looks like I'll be able to start on the water activities next week, weather permitting. After rebuilding my blown Suzuki, Atlantic reported that my steering cylinder was leaking and needed replacing. Found out Tuesday the part would ship from manufacturer and (also) be covered under warranty but would take 2 weeks to arrive, shipping out of Canada.

I just found out: I don't have to wait 2 weeks and I do have some of that "luck of the Irish". Atlantic Boat (Wareham, MA) is actually taking the steering cylinder off one of there new, for sale boats and putting on my 215 so that I should be ready-to-go next week. THANK YOU Atlantic Boat.

When do the tog start biting? Codding after 4/15.

how about sharing some reports then:fury::jump1:

Starting FW bass this afternoon...next 3-4 days are looking real good as the flood waters are pulling back and some key ponds are beginning to stabilize... :uhuh:

Last night I had a largemouth take drag on me...still had last year's dry rotted 10# trilene on the reel but got her in...no pics but went all of 5#. Its go time for FW and probably has been for a while...i'm just getting my %$%$%$%$ together now.
