Macky Time !!!!
 

Scored well today, about 150 pounds for the
freezer and Grrrrinder. :laughs: :laughs:
(My Buddy here is happy)

This was NOT taken today, it was rough as hell all day...
I've been on land for 3 hours now and the boats still ROCKIN !!!!!

Damn, that must have been fun! Still, you could have alot more macks if'n ya brought me with ya!:smash:

I don't know, you know how you surf guys are...:yak6: :yak6:

Plus it was 2-3 all day with the occasional 5+ footer.

Even Tom got that :yak4: :yak4: feeling today......

but he managed to keep everything down...
(Feel free to rib him tomorrow night !):laughs: :laughs:

Yeah, I probably would have launched my lunch......I can't rib Tom for that! He looks pretty happy there in the picture though!:happy:

Nice!

BF can not st a hook van, he just can't:rolleyes:

Lots of Macks!

Lots of Macks! Here's what we got Sunday.

I give up....anyway we caught a lot of em. Sorry I couldn't attach the picture....too big.

holy mackerel batman
 

Nice job. Did you live line any?

sweeeeeeet,

how ya hittin the cod?

No pic, but thats OK, Sunday was a sweet day, I made the mistake of listening to the weather man and didn't plan on going.

Oh i made that mistake today too "Winds only 10 mph today" so i did plan on going !!!!!

10 MPH !!!! Yea maybe somewhere in the country, not where I was...:af: :af:

I won't be out again till the weekend, but weather sounds crappy again !!!!!!!!!:af: :af: :af: Oh wait,,, it will probably be beautiful...

QD, yes we did live em' a bit, but the "Mission" today was to load the freezer. Just the same when the action slowed late day we lived and got a bunch of hits, no hook ups. Boat was drifting real fast even with the sea anchor out so Bassin was difficult.

Christian , we didn't do any coddin, but i was marking HUGE schools right off the bottom. They might have been cod or herring, dunno..

Buddy got one 22" by accident...

Van,
You keep that cod ?
starting next Tues, thats a $7.00 - $8.00 fish !!!;)
$10.00 - $12.00 alive !!!
Started setting up my (big) tank for my boat tonight:happy:

What the hell do ya do with a ive cod????

Who wants ethem alive ???? (Opps I may know that)...:D

Hi Van,

Hows the new location working out, quicker to get out? Wish there was a weight station nearby?

Like everything, it has it advantages and dis-advantages.
Getting out is quick, but loading the boat is a PIA.

The security of the place is great, but getting into my slip is really tight and I suk at docking !!!!!!

As for the weigh station, I live real close to the den, so its OK.

Still its comes out positive...you putting in or what ????

Van - how much $$ to fish your chumline this year ? :D

Beetle, for you no charge......
Maybe a ride in your new machine is all......:D :D

I be in right after Bettle! Say what? Bettle, still got those spiders webs on your trailer wheels?

Van,
How do you grind up those macks?, do you have a manual #32 grinder?, is it easy?, do you have to grind it twice? Do you re-freeze the grind afterward?

MANUAL GRINDER ???????? NOOOO WAY !!!!!!!
This baby (#32) grinds about 5 pounds a minute !!!!!
Macks, Herring and Pogies....

Grind once into a 1 gal bag then freeze it.

Casper - still doing 50-60 hrs/week at the plant. Been bouncing from there to work around the house to work on the boat. Collectively between all - probably working in some way shape/form the last 2 months 90-100 hours per week. :smash:

The boat will be in the water soon though when it counts the most, think you know what I mean. :D

Take Vans word for it...this is THE GRINDER!! you want.

Nice load of macks!

It must be fun feeding those suckers into the hopper.

Van awesome grinder! I have the same grinder but where you have the motor I have a big metal crank. It S&*^%! Where did you get the motor and how can I get one? Did you have to custom rig it?

Can I come over your house and grind my chum? ;-)

Van your a regular chum packer ey:hihi: Why the Yamalube in the background looked to me like an american made product pushing your boat;)

Van I was playing with all my grinder parts (that sounds rude!) and I noticed that the fit between the grinder shaft and the coupling is not as tight as I would like it. Did you machine the shaft to fit better or did you jury-rig it somehow?

Also, where can I get some of those square 4 gallon pails with covers. I want to store my chum in those pails because it takes up less space in the freezer. Plus the frozen block slips nicely into my 5 gal bucket dispenser. I found 1 website that sells tehm but you need to buy 10 and the price with the cover is like $7 per bucket.

square buckets
 

Hi Fish on,

The only square buckets that I have see recently are the one that you can buy fill with those white pellets for melting snow/ice. But I would check out building 19..... I saw some black buckets, good for storeing eels there a while back, so who knows.
Anyone else seen any around?
