Barnicals

Rich, good to see you back on the board Good news/bad neews; one reason I took the job as mate on Patent Pending was to get to know an area of water (south) as well as I know the upper bay. Now that I'm familiar with the area, I want to fish it more often It's a long ride from Bodkin Creek so trailering is a better option.

I enjoy the slip. I can take the wife down for dinner and watch the sunset in a little cove. I can run down to the boat and catch spot outside of the creek for livelinning. I can go down and work on some tackle and BS with the other guys at the marina.

I just wish the fishing was as good as the midbay. This year, maybe it will be. After all this rain, I expect to see an increase in algae blooms and a loss of oxygen. I hope I'm wrong and the upper bay stays productive.

I haven't seen that yellow regulator very often. What's up?

Sometimes when I'm diving - 2-3 boats will come over to get a quick cleaning of the transducer and raw water intakes.

The captains know when the transducer is getting fouled due to needing more gain.

When they know I'm in the water - they swing over. Only takes 5 minutes - they notice huge difference right away.

If it gets dirty again - just call me. As long as your slip has some type ladder for me to get out - easy job.

Bought the boat back from Solomons yesterday. She was in the water for 8 weeks.......
The bottom paint definitely need a touch up. I lost about 2000 rpms on the top and some speed. Had a ton of s*** and barnacles on the transducer and trim tab. The lower was barnacled pretty good. Brout her home and scraped her down. The community now smells like a marina. Trash men have a surprise comming

All is good Marty. My family and business have been keeping me pretty busy which I truly appreciate. I have not been on my boat nearly as much as I like, but I have been fishing the upper bay some. Seven Foot Knoll, Rock Hall, Love Point and Podickery are good for a quicky. Kind of like being married for a while, sometimes you just need a few minutes. I would love to see you and some of the other guys. Glad you finally got the boat you wanted and are getting a chance to use it.
