If You Can't Fish...

Well if you can't fish...make fishing stuff! We had the Annual Manasquan Fishing Club Sinker Party today. We molded somewhere between 600 and 800 pounds of lead. Yes between 600 and 800 pounds not ounces. You name it we molded it. Bank sinkers, cannon balls, Hatteras sinkers, drails, all shapes of jig heads, round, bullet, spire, darting, banana, SPRO bucktail jigs and shad jigs. The lead was all scrap picked up by members throughout the year as well as scrap donated to the club from various sources. Everyone went home with buckets full of sinkers and jigs. If you can't be on the water you might as well prepare for when you are. And we did not even need to break out the fire extinguisher!

Fisherman Ink Two Weeks in a Row!

Under Warranty - Part III

Well...I am being hauled out tomorrow and hopefully the repair work for the steering will begin later in the week. If not I was told they would start next week. Woo hoo!!!!! So hopefully by Easter I will be back in the water and in time for the end of winter flounder and the beginning of the spring bass run. Assuming the bass don't show up this week.

Under Warranty - Part II

I am now into my second week of waiting for warranty repair from Volvo Penta. I spoke to the Volvo dealer again...they were supposed to look at it this morning after a sea trial of another boat at my marina. They have not heard back from their tech yet so at this point I will not hold my breath. Hopefully I will be out on my rig this weekend crushing the blackbacks but the 5 day wait till Sunday seems like a year not knowing which boat I will be fishing from.

4/2 Winter Flattie Report

Well I went out on the Norma-K II again this Sunday. Still waiting on Volvo to show for warranty work. The morning have about 25 passengers if I had to guess. WE had about 10 keepers and a half dozen shorts. I personally got skunked probably due to my great opening day outing. The afternoon trip though provided its passengers with over 70 keepers to 2 lb. 4 oz. and dozens of shorts. The afternoon fishery is definitely much better in the early season and this just goes to prove that fact. Well next week we will definitely do the afternoon trip whether it be in my boat or the K II.
