  1. I Bay Mon 4-17-17

    Maiden voyage of our new 12' Sea Nymph, the bay didn't disappoint.  A 3 lb and a 7 lb that didn't want to come anywhere near our boat...Picked up both on sitckbaits similar to Bay Rats, black and gold and a shiner.  Overall a good shakedown run until the wind picked up about 11AM.  Big boat still asleep for the winter so this will have to do for now...

  2. Ideas for mounting and storage in 12' aluminum boat?

    I just purchased a 12' aluminum Sea Nymph with a 9.9HP Evinrude.  I have most of the basic safety items needed to take it out on the water, like a B1 extinguisher, anchor, oars, whistle, throwable PFD, etc.  I am looking for other people's ideas on how to mount or store some of these items in the boat so they are not just loose in the bottom.  I was thinking of attaching some hardwood rails below the gunwales and screwing things into that...Any pics or ideas would be much appreciated!12ft.thumb.JPG.41b25b8fdf7d96c05dd73def2d0bd9b5.JPG

  3. Homemade downrigger/rod holder board

    Homemade downrigger/rod holder mounting board, 75" wide, 8" deep, support legs are 56" total width.  I ran 2 Cannon Easi-Trolls with 10lb balls and a long line off this board, it was always rock-solid for me.  Great if you are like me and have a boat you use for both fishing and just taking the kids out to tube/kneeboard too- I just loosened the 2 turnbuckles from the cleats and left it at my slip when I wasn't fishing.  It's pine stained with redwood decking paint- held up fine in weather.  I even have some of the paint left for yearly touchups...I saved up and switched to Bert's track mounts this year.  I have about $75 in materials in it, looking to get $25 for it.  Cash or Paypal...I am in Webster NY.
