that worked out pretty well. putting old guys on fish is almost as good as getting kids tight. sat looks good

Great story and thanks for sharing. I try to fish with my dad at least once a year and it is a day I never forget. Enjoy every moment.

That's an awesome story, Gilly.

Funny you say that Bob...no one wants to end the season on a skunk, so yeah....it would have been perfect if that was our last time out.
Un/Fortunately (depending on how you look at it) me and someone I'll call jinxy for now, headed out again that weekend...we landed one 16" striper. :o........still better than a great day at work.

I think my father wants to target mackerel on Friday, he heard rumors from the greens driving around selling max out of the backs of their boats that they were in close to the Sandwich area...:lasso: hopefully we can lasso a couple of few dozens.
Saturday is a strong possibility for tog though...I'll look for youze guys out there iffin' we head that way Gup

Great story Gilly. Happy for you and your dad.

Thanks guys...tried to sound like a reel author....:hihi:

So today was a bust....I was behind a boat heading toward the mouth of the east end....tossed it into neutral when I saw the boat quickly turn around and head back into the marina....:(.......I did a few donuts just inside the canal while I thought about it, I could see big white water cresting across the bay...:hs:....slammed a few waves when the Garmin started flashing and then went black on me....wouldn't turn back on, just blinked and turned off again.......God said "go home"........so I did.

Now I get to spend the morning troubleshooting that and my garage door opener. Always a positive side to things.

Good call Gilly....not worth taking a chance. Could be a fuse or loose wire with the Garmin? Overhead doors have those sensors ..sometime they move and dont point directly at each other.

Garmin cable connector end suck IMO

were going tomorrow out of fairhaven. whose going tomorrow

I was really hoping to head out there tomorrow (weather/water should be pretty decent in that area)...but with today being a washout....my partner still wants to chase max tomorrow...:huh:.....says he's got enough Tog on ice for the winter, but no max.

Good Luck fellas....was hoping to share ugliness with you all. Some other time I guess...

I'll be out there with Wayne aboard.... Loading up bait, gold fish and cheese crackers
Ask Dom if gummy bears will work

Be safe

Sorry I had to cancel, I got roped into moving some stuff and it had to be done Saturday. Part of me wants to know how you two did, the other part doesn't want to hear what I missed.

Slacker :-)

Slow until prime time, 2 hrs. B 4 tide change, then limit in a short time

Not as good as it has been but they're still there

Bob Marsh was coming out when we where going in,,, that boat he built is over the top!!!!

Nice meeting u Bob, apologize for the senior moment not realizing who u were at first.... If I had known I'd of invited u Along

Didn't see you!

We ended up going to the cod grounds. Sea bass were thick but a decent cod bite

Glad to hear you all found some fish.....all we found was high winds and churny seas.....how were the conditions in BB?

No problem Ray. My "senior moment" was leaving home at 5:30 am without my backpack full of essential gear:wall:.
Then at the ramp finding out my power tilt problem has not gone away, had to hang off the transom to get at the manual release screw to lower it.

I did take a cruise out to the cement barge wreck off of Gooseberry. It would have been torture to see any fish breaking, had two rods with me but not rigged and no other gear.

Glad I finally got a chance to meet you and Wayne. Thanks Wayne for offering me some of your tins, but by then I was feeling like it just wasn't meant to be.:rollem:

Mine will turn off if I really SLAM a wave. Use to happen a lot until I took a rag and jammed it tight under the unit . This past year only happened once.

Forgetting stuff is my specialty ! :smash:

See ya Bob

Little bumpy at first then laid down pretty good...

Yeah Paul, what you described does happen to me from time to time...but it was a little different this time around...I would normally be able to power it right back on, this time it wouldn't.....it would only flash in the center as I hit the power button and then black out....I really thought I blew the darn thing this time......Got home, checked fuses, re-secured all connections, and it powered on and looks ok? We'll see...hoping to toss a few snakes this week, give a test run.

Thinking I was out too early OR it laid down later than I expected based on my forecast....tick, tock....almost over for me.


Replaced garage-door opener too...when I got up there saw a pile of plastic dust. Looked like the shroud around the gear-motor got all chewed up. Then noticed the gear itself was bent...replacing it was easy, tweaking the adjustments was.....comical, if someone was watching AND hearing me....LOL
