This Old Boat!

[MBLMIKE]

I was able to spend some time last Friday getting some work done replaced starter , Oil cooler , raw water pump , new batteries , replaced belts. oil and filter etc . boat started right up and idled smooth looking forward to maybe getting the lift to set her into water Wednesday , as I have been reading the fishing is improving so going to see how she does . Just a note to any who have a Coast guard documented vessel the cost to have it transfer currently is $450.00 and it takes up to 6 months to complete you can pay an additional $75.00 to expedite and this will get you a operators certificate to enable use of boat while the transfer is being completed .

I fished Friday morning a real hot day but not a hot bite, managed 3 one a shorty sent back to grow a little, also caught a nice yellow perch and big channel cat and 1 drum fished north west of the Toledo water intake 23 foot of water stayed outside the pack of boats , casting green/ white Erie Dearies no wind but a nice hot and sunny day on the water. Upon my arrival at the my dock I was met by a State Watercraft Officer who did a check on my safety equipment and we got a thumbs up so all good , by the way this "officer was also a gentleman " after the inspection we chatted about fishing and got to know each other a little . I cant wait till next Friday to try again .

PS there appears to be nets on the south side of the intake FYI
