I attempted to disconnect the batteries so I could perform the continuity test. As soon as I put the socket wrench on the negative terminal for battery #2 I discovered that the nut was loose. I tightened the nut, and throughly checked all the other connections, put the Perko in position two and the ...

I have a used boat with two batteries in parallel. For the past six months I have taken the boat out at least twice per month. Every time I would go out on battery #1 and operate all the electronics with #1, and when it was time to return to dock I would switch to battery #2. Everything was going fi...

Fished from sunrise to sunset. Caught a lot of fish. A real mixed bag. Lots of short trout, some sea bass, a few lady fish, a couple of blue runners, some cats and lizardfish. All the fish were caught in 5 - 8’ either on jigs worked near the bottom or Gulp jigs under a cork. New penny was the best p...

Tossed Gulps and Zmans and live shrimp. Managed a mix bag of short trout, sea bass, and lady fish. The fish seemed to be hanging ...

Talked with a guy at the cleaning station who had a nice red and some mackerel. He caught them early in the morning, but I didn’t pres...

I had one cheap camera get taken, but I was careless and put the camera close to a logging road that had a very active game trail c...

Went fishing out of the Econfina River. Loaded up the livewell with pinfish and drifted the flats in 5 - 7 foot depth range. We fished the last two hours of the incoming tide and only caught baby sharks. Had to leave earlier than planned. I wanted to fish different depths and try a few spots to the ...

First post...Took my dad and two boys out to St. Marks Saturday. We did okay. Took home two keeper trout. The trout were caught on pinfish under a cork in 6 - 8 ft during the incoming tide. The largest trout was caught out front of the lighthouse. Other fish we landed included a big stingray, 4 ft l...
