Coto Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Installed some new grab rails to the console which the boat never had. I also changed the old motor transom strap to the new one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HewesYourDaddy Posted October 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Put a new 3-spoke wheel on the old girl, new trolling motor batteries, reinstalled the trolling motor, and replaced the livewell pump. Afterwards, I put the boat in the water to give her a shakedown before tournament time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shallowminded6 Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Had my 3 y/o play hookie from pre school for a daddy day. Caught a ton of small greenies, some mullet, and needle fish, along with a catfish. He had a blast, which was our goal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, post up some big trout. I'm hoping to get FishmanJJ back this year to fish. There's going to be raffle prizes (with all raffle money going to charity), barbecue dinner at captain's meeting, extra goodies for each boat, special prizes for the place finishers, etc. Looks like this might be our biggest turnout in many years. There are a few club members here on the forum. I hope anyone in the Savannah area comes out and fishes with us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
