sweat equity

The season is ending, This year the boat was outstanding.The outdrive that I bought for $300.00 came in handy as the original shit the bed. I bought seal for the upper case and tore the outdrive apart.Many trips down the merrimack from haverhill to newburyport( 30 miles) and back tested the repairs that I had done.

I bought a outdrive to repair

I bought a new outdrive to repair ,and thank god that I did because the original drive
has gear issues. When I opened the original drive the gears were broken.

owning a boat is work

The boat is now back from the brothers house. After sitting for 7 mounths the outdrive tilt pump does not work. this will have to be taken care of before the boat can go anywhere

stripers and shad

The stripers will be here some time within the next couple weeks.If the weather remains this warm and stable the stripers will run in the merrimack. Shad fishing is happening now,maybe I will be able to catch one.

spring is getting away

The season has been very warm the concord river is providing fast action. I missed 5 pike last sunday ,but managed to at least catch a pickerel. The week before

I was at the nashua river shore fishing and caught

fish on a float and fly.

Cold, but nice in the House

Lake Quinsigamond

Wind was brisk but warm in the Ice house that I made.

Easy set-up and I thought of some thing that will improve
