The boat has been running great and I was hoping to stay in the water through spring...but today we picked up about a 5' x 2' length of carpet in the wheels. I will be hauling out this week to make sure there was no damage and the wheels don't look damaged.
Anyway, on a lighter note, we did manage to get some fishing in. With water temps still low (41.2 to 43.5) we managed only one flounder at 13.5" and very fat. In speaking with some of the local captains and guides it seems that the fish have yet to spawn. Many of the fish caught during the week were full of eggs and sperm. Which is good news, we still have a shot at them. Last year we had similar water temps this time of year and the mad dog bite on winter flounder didn't really pickup until mid April.
Hopefully this week will warm the water a few more degrees to that magic number and the bite will turn on. And hopefully the carpet incident was a minor one and we will back at it this weekend again.
