I'm going out there in the morning (Fri) .........................
Good luck! Post up after.
Gonna try but have lots of other stuff going on. Good luck to those that do get to go.
Around 50 here Friday night and high of 70-72 on Saturday. Thinking I'll be trying Blackshear up here.:ThumbsUp
:banghead:banghead directives from higher authority, looks like Sunday for me:bash:bash
I hate when I get orders from the War Department.Quote:

Had an unexpected trip to Ohio and just got back around town. Working on wiring and shocks for the "new to me" truck. The ole Slowride has been in the garage for so long I just hope I know how to act once I finally hit the water.
The homemade trailer wiring on the truck threw me for a loop, but in the process today of getting that all sorted out and corrected this morning.
The most disappointing thing has been the hunt for replacement shocks. 6 different parts stores and bad guesses and mostly clueless help has been a point of aggravation, so hitting the Nissan dealer this afternoon and keeping fingers crossed. Still aiming for our slabfest as a goal well deserved. Until than you guys save me a few and be safe out there. 😎
Hope things start working out for you! You really need a good day of fishing. :pray :biggrin Good luckQuote:

👍 Thanks guys.
Truck wired and looking good, truck and trailer lighting up and functioning. Thank you Uhaul.
Found the exact required shocks at the Nissan dealer, they were great and cost me less than the other parts stores. 😊
I think she is set to roll, and I'm planning on hitting the local chain in the morning for the first launch in a lot longer time than I would have liked to admit.
The Frontier XEV6 looks good to go and the boat runs very well down the road behind her.
Changing out the shocks and running here and there today plum kind of wore me out but I'm shooting for a refreshing shower than into the man cave (garage) to get to work on setting up the poles.
On top of everything else with these new Spyderloks I'm looking to change my long lining set up by running out the sides versus the back by simple reason of less running to the back since I usually sit up front facing backward anyway.
I do believe I'm excited. Work out the bugs tomorrow locally, than maybe a chance to hit up Monroe Saturday/ Sunday for a quick pre fish if I can muster up the effort to drive across town.
Either / or I'm golden for November 5th, minus finding some fish 😳
Yup...... things are looking up 👍
Pulling off front just takes wider turns to keep line from bunching up on transom or motor. But works great. Thats all I did till this boat.
Keep an eye on your battery terminals on the Frontier. My Titan and the Frontiers we had at work are all horrible about corroding. And goes real quick with whstever metal they used on them. And end result is also having to buy a new master link that is attached to positive terminal.
