If i was not able to repair my own boat and motor i would not be able to afford to own one..i do my own fiber glass work and motor work...of coarse being a mechanic by trade has it's advantages.
Looks like we have another cold front coming thru Wednesday night and Thursday with a high of 48 on Thursday and rain....talk about confusing the fish...lol
Yes thats a soft shell and i caught him in shallow water about 5 foot off the bank, put up a pretty good fight..was using one of the walmart special rod and reels combo's 19.99 with 12 pound trilene xl on it...lmao...turtle was released unharmed..other than a few hook holes....
My lew's combo came today, put some trilene XL green 12 lbs test on it and been playing in house with it...i think im going to like it may even order another one...lol...might get out Monday to give it a whirl.
The place where i ordered mine from was out of them and on back order could take 12 weeks to get one maybe....so i canceled and went to cabelas and ordered that one..the same one bassblind ordered. Amazon was also out of the one i had ordered, the white pole one.
