It is OFF

People have heard peepers, the daffodils are blooming, the macs are back on N shore, and it hit 70+d F today: It is SPRING! Cover is OFF, tune up on Saturday, and then ready to go fishing.....

More likely to head south and make a cod run!

I am 1/2 off. I got the raft down and in the back of the truck. I want to be able to pull it back over in case we get another snow...I don't want Likwid to come over and stab me.

He won't actually stab you, Ted will just lecture you on how you are doing everything wrong and what the right (Ted) way to do it is...

Just finished and tested the last connections to the new autopilot (Raymarine S1000), everything GO!

Anyone know if the haddock/pollack are around and where? As soon as weather permits we are on! That's Stellwagon also looking for southerly seas for cod. Freak and who else is in line?

Everyone that goes with know at best 48hrs and usually 24hrs notice. Anyone have problems during the week?

Niko, I assume Marty is on the list, too?

Keep a look out for a good weather day! The boat performed perfectly to open the 2012 season, nice to have everything working. Must have done about 60+miles, nice to have an autopilot.....

Fishing was tough, 12+ trawlers working the area didn't seem to leave much in their wake. We worked the waters from 100 - 350ft, drift was 1.5m/hr due to the current/winds. Marked a few small schools...

No rush then, there ain't no cod around!

Yes launched GH. The center floating dock ramp was in. The left-most and outer (90d) were not.
