Subject: Fishing Report of 2-3-03
Apalachicola, St. George Island to St. Marks, Florida -- Offshore
There hasn’t been much activity, fishing wise, in our area to speak of lately. About the most action I am aware of is my next door neighbor’s Dad caught a good mess of sheepshead off his dock next door.
There have been a whole bunch of down right COLD, cold fronts tracking through our part of paradise in the last couple of weeks. It makes you pay close attention to your antifreeze levels in all vehicles including your boat.
We are presently waiting in line for our opportunity to pull DEBO TOO and put her on the hill for her yearly maintenance and some up grades. I will finally be retiring my Sitex Loran C system and installing another DGPS system for redundancy and chart plotting. I’m looking at both the Northstar and Furuno systems as they both carry good reputations.
I will also be adding additional sound insulation underdecks to make her a little quieter in the cabin. The sound levels have never been objectionable, but I have always felt there could be improvement. The down side is the cost of making her 30% to 40% quieter. Just the material to accomplish the goal will run better than $2000.00 and to that you add another $900.00 for installation. If the goal is accomplished it will be more than worth the cost down the road. It will make DEBO TOO just that much nicer for our clients.
A bottom job, zink replacement, and other mechanical maintenance and we should have DEBO TOO standing tall and spiffy for what promises to be a great upcoming season.
We can’t wait…………..Debo and I both have a bad case of cabin fever and are already tired of the cold weather.
Take those kids fishing (when it warms up a little)&
Catch Em’ Up!
