    Bunker lure

    Looks like something a 10 lb. largemouth would like. :cool:

    Discovery also jumped 1000 years into the future to get around some inconsistencies. I thought it was pretty lumpy though.

    My cable company (Spectrum) has been adding free apps, like Paramount+, Hulu, HBOmax, Disney+ and others to my service. Makes it pretty nice.

    I worked with several of the Apollo 11 guys. One was in navigation, another was electrical and the last guy actually designed the video link for TV from the moon.

    I was just four months old

    I was always interested in aircraft/aviation even as a very young child. I remember running with both arm outstretched, sand in my fists being released like contrails, while making jet noises. :LOL: I naturally moved up to space stuff and when Star Trek showed up in 1966, I was a huge fan...

    Nobody fishing?

    The ponds that I go to are all connected to the Florida Aquifer, a huge underground body of water. Plenty of activity there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floridan_aquifer My wife and I went back out to the first pond this evening, closer to sundown. I fished artificials and she used live...

    Nobody fishing?

    After I got the grass cut this morning, I decided to go to the ol' fishin' hole and see what the fish were up to. Apparently, they were at home watching TV. :LOL: The only bites I got were from a couple bugs, but I did see the resident swamp lizard. That creature was wearing camo...

    More progress! 😁 I really should remove that seat base and set it aside. I've tripped over it several times. But I only need to do "one or two" more things, so I'll wait... :rolleyes: I don't have a bus bar for the ground wires and didn't want to wait days and days to have one delivered...

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    This morning I did some more soldering and adding extensions to the console indicator lights. Made good progress, then ran into an odd thing. When I added the indicator light to the courtesy light switch, the courtesy light would stay OFF when I turned the switch to ON. But the dash indicator...

    Yeah, I'm slow and my buddy is a very busy man. Takes me forever sometimes. :sneaky: I did buy a piece of aluminum to cover that gaping rectangular hole in the dash. And the store guy turned out to be a former boat salesman. He said that the hole most likely held an AM/FM cassette receiver...

    I'm still working on wiring and switches and whatnot. Made good progress yesterday but lost all day today because I was in the ER. I'm okay though. One of those "better safe than sorry deals." :sneaky: Yesterday morning I spent removing the indicator lights from the console, then soldering...

    Anybody know what this is?

    My buddy just got a new-to-him jon boat and it has 2 of these, one on each side of the boat near the gunnel, but not directly across from one another.

    Been a very busy week for me, with non-boat related stuff. 😐 However, this morning I did a quick gauge test. Found out that I'd skipped the tach/voltmeter power connection while running jumpers between gauges. Made up a new jumper and turned the ignition on. Voila! And a little video...

    How do I clean a Starcraft Islander hull

    I use Simple Green and it does a pretty good job.

    Is this repairable for safe use on the lake?

    My neighbor had the same thing happen to his 16' jon boat. Not nearly as severe as yours, but very close. He used a variety of tools and whanged it back to general shape. Then, he cut the worst part of the upper rail out and welded in new. No leaks. It's all functional now, but "ain't...

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    I started getting the switches and horn button remounted today. Couldn't find the 4th switch, so contacted my buddy (who had set up everything for the splash) and he dropped by. After he crawled under the dash he said "Oh yeah, there was a switch which wasn't connected to anything." So he had...
