What r u doing to get ready for fall
I'm ready for fall now. Matter of fact since I fish the same way all year long I'm ALWAYS ready.Thumbs Up I'm a longliner and catch fish year 'round.:)
I'm pretty much ready for fishin, new batts back in Jan & been stockin up on jigs. Getting ready for bowseason now - puttin up stands, checking feeders & game cameras, busy time of year.Thumbs Up
All my gear is ready....Just putting the finishing touches on the boat:highfive
I'm painting the inside of our house. I went with Acid Rain in the kitchen, Popcycle in the Living Room, Black/Blue in the Dinning Room, John Deer Green in the Den, Tennessee Shad in the Hall and in the bedroom............Bubblegum. Painted the ceiling Chartruse............
Bought some new rods to get rid of the telescoping weigh a ton poles and stocked up on plastics. Need to burn through a bunch of jigheads this fall so I can place an order with Litewirehooker for some of his heads. Other than that boat pretty much stays ready, willing and able.
ah poo...... im behind the eightball here. Went to start up the ride this past weekend only to find my starting battrie took a dive :(
to add to the issue the battrie is in a tough place to begin with - maintain. Replaced that stinker with an Optima Blue Top........ wont worry about that one for the next 3-4 years at least :)
Things i still have to do? Im still trying to get by the fact I have to change out lines on 20? reels? UGH!
Very much enjoyed my spider riggin this past summer...........poor Chris.........gonna be hard to pry me off the front of the boat now.
Hooks good! baits good to go!............................Im ready to go :)
Only problem being work.................still trying to catch up from Debby.........Storm damages still coming in daily.
New carpet and floor in boat, 60 jigs tied, poles were ready(gotta verify), checked trailer bearings, installed radio and speakers. Looks like i could go fishing in the morning.--shu
Boat for sale, autopilot for sale, electronics for sale.........everythings gotta go, gonne get a new ride after deployement. BUT i do have slabkeepers number on speed dial so yeah im ready, lol.
Safe deployment TC! Thanks again for your service my friend. Will try and post up some pretty ones for ya while your out and about. Dreaming about that new ride should give ya something to look forward too :)

I doubt Susan would risk that. She needs the camara to advertise properties. She probably sends him to the mall with a dollar for the photo booth.
After finishing up remodeling my sons house in North Dakota I plan on driving 2400 miles South and East. We hope fo be out of here by the first of September. Looking forward to some good fishing this fall.
Ya catchin any Walleye or anything while yer up there?Quote:

I have the new kitchen done and should have the bathroom and bedroom done next week. After that I just have the living room and flooring to do. If all goes good I will be leaving around September first.Quote:

No shame in that dude...as long as you're not catching them in traps or bare hands it's called FISHING and that's what we do!Quote:

You are the retired guy! We was waitin on you and Specksnator to post em up.
Finished putting my power drive MinnKota back on the Starcraft, ready for some trolling. Finally got my old side by side refrigerator set up as a ice maker. Pulled all the shelves out on the freezer side, and the small ice bin and slid in a tall kitchen trash can for an ice bin. Now it will fill up the whole one side with ice. Going to make a door on the side of the trash can so I just have to open it up and let the ice fall out into a cooler.
Thats some smart thinkin right there!!
Been a while since the motor was started so checked things out yesterday. Gas smelled bad, bulb to hard to pump, so started this morning to get new bulb, while checking found that the 2 year old fuel line was separating on the inside. CHOKED when i saw the cost of a Atwood replacement fuel line, at WW($36.++) so got a bulb and went to 3 parts houses looking for ethanol protected fuel line(got some dumb looks but NAPA had line $5.65/ft. so now motor is running, Chevy is going to smoke some and might even fish this week.--shu
YOU GET'EM SHU!!!! :) glad to hear it was minor stuff......and you didnt have to "Bust Out Another Thousand" (Aka BOAT) :)
Lets see I'm ready, boat ready, all gear ready, just waiting on cool weather.
Ordered some high tec. surveillance equipment to spy on stu, danny, russ & all the mikes........That outta do it!!!!! ..........:biggrin

Moved my rear rod holders to another location, had the base too far to the back of the boat wanted to make it easier to get to them. And just finished putting new Line on 10 trolling rods.........
