Yep, congrats on a great season, Joe!Thanks for all the reports.Now, I have to ask...did you train the Mrs. to have coffee ready in the middle of the night or does she really love you that much?? Inquiring minds want to know.BTW, nice Smitty.
Heck of a season Joe. Great post. Your wife is a real find. Makes your coffee, attends your seminars, and works on your boat. Doesn't get much better than that. I know how far you had to walk thats impressive. Its worth it with the amount of fish your getting. Sorry i couldn't make it, thanks for the invite. Hopefully we can hit some salt soon.
Awesome season and report sir! I always read your posts from start to finish. Thanks for the “visions” of a real fisherman from a fair weather fisherman!
She's a very special lady for sure, puts up with alot and with asks little in return, sits through my seminars, helps prepare set up and put away, she takes it upon herself each spring to paint the bottom of the boat. .most of all she's the best companion a man could ask for, I'd be lost without her.That smitty is a life saver, I laminated ply wood with poly glue to make the frame, and uprights the cross pieces have stainles steel sleeve to keep the 1/2"galvinized pins from wearing,the holes bigger, the wood has 2 coats of paint then 2 coats of flex seal, it'll out live me
Great post and congrats on a good season good luck on the salt. I hope to head out 2 or 3 days this week. Just got back from Boston makes me appreciate where I live more.
Yes, very special, indeed! Too bad you couldn't clone her. I met her at a plug seminar you did a few years back. In Concord, I think?She was doing just as you said at seminars.Good ideas on the Smitty construction. I like the sleeves/bushings particularly.
it's the first time I've seen the bed since November,
That's dedication!A few petrified winter shiners are much nicer to deal with than macks, herring or eels found behind the live well or under hoses in the motor well in July and August.
Nice to see another crowded, but organized shop!
Organized chaos is more like it, now that I evicted the bait tank and red neck chiller, I hooked my dust collected back up, I need a few specific plugs for striper fishing and am going to make a few more of those tip ups I made, they were outstanding and I want a few spares The woman next door had one of her boys break a spindle on a kitchen set that was her grandmothers, she was in tears when asked me if I had any strong wood glue, I told her, not as strong as a new spindle, I just happened to have enough mahogany scraps to.makeb her a new one, I'll take care of that tonight.i hope my lathe still works!
Pretty sure the bait tank's going in the Warrior Princess? Where do you put the red neck chiller and inhabitants in the off season?I can visualize the teary neighbor and the perspective cobbled, glued up heirloom spindle. I'm sure your lathe will be just as fine as when you left it and your neighbor will be forever grateful for a perfect replica.Have fun building your new plugs, Joe!
