I for one just finished and repaire all my 19 reels and they are ready to go. I also have built myself a nice wire rod and plan to use it in the Chatam area.

It'll be March soon....I'm thinking cod (just to pass the time), then I'm thinking flounder, then shortly after I'm thinking fresh schoolies down in RI.....

And in the middle, there is always THE SHOW.....

Ignore the other stuff....it's just repercussions of all the snow....

Hi there capesams I do wire at Chatam and down the Vinyard. I just built a nice wire rod and learned how to dimond warp. But the fish don't care.
How was your year last year? I had a great year and I am looking forward for this season. Hope to see you out there sometime.

Was just down at the Coast Guard Station on Tuesday checking out the beach...too much snow to get down the stairs!

The surf & beach had tons of foam and was roaring!

I'm ready to hit it again this summer.

DaveS · 02-22-2003, 04:53 PM

macojoe · 02-22-2003, 05:14 PM

I can't wait for the ice to melt so I can test swim my plugs I made. I just tied the tail hooks for 30 of them today, all custom colors. I am looking forward to seeing which plugs are gonna catch for me this year. I still have a huge amount of jigs to tie up so I need to buy bucktails in white and black.

Nice wrap job macojoe!

Fishpart · 02-22-2003, 10:15 PM

macojoe, nice job on the rod.

Hoping for the hard stuff on the top of the water to go away so I can throw a couple of plugs.

Getting close to finishing up my first rod with Saltheart's fine teaching.

Plan on trying some new spots this year and I even found Milka chocolate bars with Hazlenuts which should buy me some more trips to the water

macojoe · 02-23-2003, 07:15 AM

Well I have decided to build a new Fluke rod. It seems the weather is going to allow me some extra time for building. So I will start it today some time.

Since I have no truck till thur. and I am stuck at home with the wife and kids, I will hide in the basement.

I blew the tranny and transfer case in my truck and they had to order a part for the transfer case it will be here on Tue. Can't wait to get it back!! But I don't like the price of about $1800.00 + or - $200.00 O well !!
