UGH is the temperature till mid March

What drives me to fish is deeply rooted in the wisdom that Rick Clunn shares about truly experiencing time on the water. When I'm out there, it's all about engaging all five senses in a way that's impossible to replicate anywhere else. Seeing, hearing, and smelling the water, noticing the subtle shifts in wind direction, watching the flash of baitfish breaking the surface, birds feeding, observing the swirl of a giant, and solving the puzzle presented with every cast—these moments demand complete presence. I love it for that-getting into the zone in nature, and almost every trip results in a memory made and something new learned.

I use this https://a.co/d/0ONRSLX with the bass mooch line snips https://bassmooch.com/collections/scissors/products/tournament-line-braid-snips

Nice setup! Two Pros

Preparation + Opportunity = Luck

I did the same. If you folks do this, make sure you get tinned double insulated wire to mostly match their wire.

This one is painted with truck bed liner and then painted for the ultimate protection and looks.

Add some RV antifreeze to your live wells. Pour in just enough for the recirculating pump to run with the antifreeze, then drain it all out. I also pour a bit into the bilge. Store the motor vertically so all water can drain out and none can enter the prop exhaust. Also, remove any water-based products from your boat storage areas.
