I'm no weather man, and I'm no charter boat captain....but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once.....
Obviously I've been checking the weather for the past two weeks, and it kept getting worse for our trip, until this AM!!!
What was once ENE 30 at 6am and tapering off to E10 by 3....has changed to...
I had the pleasure of an offshore trip aboard a 42 ft Freeman CC Cat with 4x400 hp Yammys out of Galveston TX.....there is something to be said when you can cruise comfortably at 40 mph in 3-5 waves with 10 people aboard. The ride back in a following sea was amazing.
My 2010 Scion XB that is now my daughters car has 160K trouble free miles on it.
Wifes 2014 Durango has 125K on it...8 speed trans went last winter, but lifetime warranty covered it.
The 2014 Ram 1500 I bought last year with 45K on the clock has 73k now, and has been good to go.
Keeping my...
Been a busy beaver this winter. Picked up a used ‘03 HPDI that had some electrical gremlins. My port side ‘01 had a bad cylinder. So I stripped the ‘03 and swapped everything over from the ‘01. A few hiccups along the way but she fired right up and sounds good. Time for a serious clean and then...
For the first time in forever we went with an artificial. We have been using Costco the past few years, but their prices have gone from $25 to $60 this year, We did the fire house tree's for a while, and even did the cutting down live tree's which for the east end of LI can get fairly pricey. A...
Great report Jay, glad you found some big fish to play with...sorry to hear about work forcing your hand. Maybe you can fill you time as an HPDI tech....we know you have the experience. Travelling mechanics make great money. Seriously, all the best to you and the family.
Tried to get out early on friday to catch slack and outgoing which should've been at 9am. Broke the inlet at 8:30, and my port motor went into alarm again..definitely temp related as the tell tale was sputtering. OK, we can go on one motor, but that motor suddenly had no throttle. Limped back to...
Got out with my neighbor this past saturday. Fantastic fall conditions with light winds. Fished from sunrise which was mid outgoing, through low slack and some of the incoming. Amazing tog bite..easy 50 fish between us two with the majority of fish coming on the outgoing. Sadly, not one fish...
Thanks Jay...glad to hear you got your HPDI running well...enjoy it while you can!!!!
I do believe they are tied in together because they both went into limp mode. I shut off Port and SB revved no problem. I'd be surprised to find that Port has overheat issue because the Impellor, t-stats, and...
Got out early sunday am. broke the inlet at 7:30. East wind 5-10. Got to our spot after some engine issues. Decided to play it close to the ramp just in case, and I didn't want to fight the currents at 11B. Set up in 40 feet of water...very sporadic bite, lots of bait stealers. Couldn't get them...
I have a good friend who had an absolute monster day at the middle grounds on Sunday..25 ft, and 50 ft...but they have the electronics dialed in with the side scan and spotlock...its almost cheating, but if you aint cheatin, you aint tryin.
Got my port side back up and running again last...
SO what your saying is....DREW...BE PREPARED FOR THIS!!!!!!
I will keep my fingers crossed for you pal. Hopefully you figured it out and saved yourself a ton of money.
