Mistake. Bottom paint store.

Home depot has rustoleum marine paint in gallon pails. It's good stuff if you trailer the boat. If you leave it in the water all season I'd use awlgrip. Check out boatpaintstore.com

A good reason to wader fish on the west side. If you fish the pier, you need a net with a 15' handle or a buddy to jump down on the rocks or ladder. Crappies in front of the winery dock around the tree leaning in the water last week. Fun time till 8 a.m., all done after that.

Nice fish. I'm sure it still feels like you caught it yesterday.

Sodus bay is different from lil' sodus bay. Hornet is correct. Late may is the last chance.

West side park. Put on your waders & cast into the channel from the gravel bar the boobies mark. Big stick baits work ok. You will not be the only person. Get there early a.m., park is a dusk to dawn, the sheriff never gave me a problem though.

Cobalt Candy Crush

Good one Irish. He just retired this winter I think.

The bartender at the local hole I frequent says "Crystal Blue Persuasion". Says it's a good song I guess. Is a non-member out of bounds for rules? Five O is good too! Reminds me of last night. Lol.

Nice woodsnwater. "Jersey Girl" popped in my head first. That's where I see the nice blondes that put the blue streaks in their hair. Papa surf must be as busy as Santa on Friday nights down there. Maybe "Smurfette"?

Yesterday would've been a challenge. 5 foot swells in that little channel. You would have hit the walking bridge. There is a nice small boat launch right next to the channel for the pond. It's paved on top, firm sand in the water. The pond was getting stained from yesterday's wind. Could've fished there.

I liked Wang Dang Tang too. Tie up a new one and let us have at it. That was an enjoyable read. Takes a bit to make this guy smile.

Nice work. Bevel the holes on the outside. Get foil tape and apply it to the outside. Before you put the 1st part of the transom in, fill em with thickened epoxy from the inside. Cracks need to be ground out and filled with fabric scraps. Don't grind into the existing fiberglass too far. That weakens the integrity. Just enough to get a channel to fill.

Reminds me of a used up "middle age woman". The goods don't taste like strawberries anymore and changes colors, flavors, daily.

Good all day. Don't lose the printed ticket that you put on the dashboard is all. The lady will demand to see it.

10-4. I'll try a few more times, maybe just wait another week, then crappie time. I'll tell myself they are perch coming out of the fryer. Good luck guys.

Last week got into some perch out in the lake in front of the blocked blind sodus bay outlet. Did you try the hole in the middle off fox point krux?

They put it in last fall. It is just 5 foot past the pay shack. It was covered until April 1st. I was told to pay or leave. The empire pass looks better for $65. The park has the best launch around. Always was memorial day, unless you were camping. State should fix the holes in the road to get in there instead of funneling the $ to the city.

I use raka epoxy from Florida. The thin 127 for wetting out, and wood wicking. The 900 medium viscosity for second coats. It's good stuff, get lots of acetone for cleaning stuff and a box of disposable gloves. I've got the epoxy, the rollers you'll need. Looks like the weather will be good next week when we get past Monday night.

Nice looking crew. I'm sure they could find something in that grass.

Couple puppy pics.

He is a farm dog. His other duties are killing rats and grey squirrels around our grain bins. He has a strong dislike for rodents. His focus is usually on them. Brings back a coon, possum, or woodchuck now and then. Nice mix, can't distract him from his chore, figured out what tree the squirrels like, cuts em off across the lawn, bam. Very smart & motivated, would make an excellent tracking dog Nauti.

My perch hound. 1/2 redbone and running walker. He can smell fish farts even through the ice! He barks and I fish. 70%, he is on it. Been fishing since he was 6 weeks old. Sorry if the pic is crooked, nice dogs you all have guys.

At least 2 coats on it. More on the cut edge as it wicks it in. Just watch it, have a beer or 2, and re coat the sawn edge. If you get air bubbles in any of the epoxy, run a torch over the surface quickly, they will float out and disappear. You have 12 to 16 hours to work with epoxy for a chemical bond. After that amount time, you need to sand for a mechanical bond. 2 coats on the faces, 4 or 5 on the cut edges.
