Hoping its all downhill from here

Well after cleaning out some funky coolers, removing waterline stains, 26ft of hull wash/wax, removing broken trolling motor, removing canvas dodger, fixing broken power pole, completely redoing all the lights on my trailer, troubleshooting the fuses in my truck, troubleshooting the TBC module in my truck, loading boat on trailer, loading up gear for the weekend, packing, and putting new line on one reel Im finally counting down the hours till its time to hit the road at 6pm today. Heading down to the Oilmans tourney in Gorda tonight and Im crossing my fingers that all the bad and "It cant ever be easy" is out of the way for the weekend. Somebody say an amen for a brotha

Oh & here's a report from the rocks this am by 8:52am



10ft of water free Hoppomatics

How many times have I told you. Deploying your Power Pole while your boat is on top of the North Jetty is a waste of time

I know know I shoulda listened but that aint what happened......this time. Stern bolt nut came off on the bottom of the unit. Basically just causes the pole to fall down to the surface of the water and the arm wont extend. Simple fix 5/16 bolt and nut plus some washers and bushings. $10 plus a trip to FTU for the parts.
