Even I sometimes wonder, why live in a place where the weather can be sooo bad. The long dark winters, the rain, the cold springs, all for what? For what! When it finally breaks and I find some fish I do what I dreamed of as a little boy. I catch salmon and sometimes a bunch of salmon. Once again it's time to go chase fish! :wavetowel
I spent the balance of today getting the boat ready for a camping trip on a river. There's still a whole lot to do before 5:00 AM tomorrow but I had to make a post about going. Time will tell whether or not I find any but I know where to look and that is the important part. :icon_wink
Oil change, new fuel filter, plugs, and a new battery put things in order. I still have to organize the boat box which is filled with the emergency gear and make a run to town for some supplies. Nancy is going along so there will be two rods working when we locate fish. Two weeks ago I did a float and now we're ready to go under power, it should be fun.
If you have lived here or visited you know what these are. I cleaned it all up and had to paste a few pictures.

If you ever read a post by me or anyone and it mentions 'Tunnel Hulls' this is what they are. Our boat is a shallow tunnel, (the old boat had a 4" one) and when you have the motor trimmed just right these boats will scoot over just 2 - 3" of water. Prop's are faster and more economical fuel wise but these are the ticket for the rivers I fish & travel.

This is the inside of the little boat. It is 18.5 long and I forget the beam width. The rubber mats are great and quiet too.

I had to have this, they should have given it to me but I gave 3.50 just to stick that on my console.

If you are ever going to be in my neighborhood and just don't know where to get fishing you should drop me a line. I have this thing on the rivers here about 1500 miles each season, in that many miles I find a few out of the way spots.
