what is everyone doing?
 

What are you guys and gals doing? Is anyone remodeling their boat or bow if so what are you doing? I myself am ready to shoot some fish here in about a month.

I'm considering re-vamping my lighting system to include a few HPS lights. That's about it.

Why wait so long? :D:D
We were over in Bartonville checking out bigger outboard motors. (among other things;)):)Too bad I'm poor.:(
Hopefully, we'll get the boat over to get the 2' extension put on soon.

We've also been workin' on a few loose ends for the shoot schedule this year, the next newsletter, updating the flyers, the Deer and Turkey classic...other than that, I'm just goofin' off.

I am just practicing with the longbow whenever I get the chance andenjoying some very good venison. I made venison rumakion New Year'sEve and it wasa hit.I've noticed that everything tastes better when it is wrapped in bacon.

Everything except carp. ;)

My venison is going quick. It's about 2/3rds eaten and I'm donating some more ground stuff to the landowner where I hunt deer gun. I took them out to dinner last time, but they are out of town this weekend so I had to do something else. With my luck, they'll like it so much that they'll take up hunting and make me go home. :D

I'm still chasing deer until tommorow. Then I'm relegated to projects around the house. I'll eventually get to building a lighter platform for the Green Bobber, but probably not for a month or two.

Well, the next project on my list is setting up my little boat for bowfishing. I have a 10 or 11 foot Coleman Crawdad and so far I've got a 30-pound thrust troller for it, a 6-horse Mercury, a small (1800 watt) generator and a bunch of tractor lights if I want a battery-powered light set-up on it. I also just got a trailer for it, although I don't really 'have' it yet. Still have to pick it up.

I want to put out-riggers/ pontoons on it to make it a little more stable for 2 people to fish from. This is the only boat Team Carp-enders has for competing right now. It looks like we may be limited to how many fish we can shoot from it, because of the weight-rating. But I was thinking if I used a 3-man raft I have, we can tow it behing the boat and when we fill up one of our fish-barrels, we can pull in the raft, load the fish onto it and let it drag along behind us. I think the raft will hold 250 pounds. Might take us a while to get back to the launch, but it would be neat to pull up with a load of fish like that.


If there's a will, there's a way!

The Jury is still out on whether or not I want to be seen with you thisnext year. :eek:

Ha Ha, he's your partner now. :D
Steve and I are informally competing to see which one of us can build the most redneck looking smallBF rig. Although the Green Bobber is smaller than his Crawdad, and I do look pretty funny on it, I think Steve is going to win this one.

Hey don't you guys still have the tri-hull you brought to Evergreen last June? That could work just fine until Steve gets the crawdad's detailsworked out, or if you'reshooting on bigger water and want something a bit more stable.

RE: what is everyone doing?
 

Yes, Mark mentioned that yesterday. For some reason, I thought he took it apart. I don't know what I was thinking.

But I know Mark can't WAIT to get on that Crawdad!

It should be lots of fun.
