So I started trying to finish my livewell up as I'm making a trip back to Vero Beach this weekend! Let the good times roll, and wouldn't you know it about as I got started it started to rain, darn it...o well here are the few pics I took of my bubble maker, this with the recirculating pumps should be a pretty good livewell for such a little boat.

So I'm off to Vero for a couple of days, hopefully the fishing is good and lots of tight lines! I'll post pictures if I can.

Here are some photos of my new front navigation lights, they call them snake lights, pretty cool huh?

Well back from my trip to Vero, struggled to find any trout or redfish and I covered a lot of water and areas I knew quite well. In fact I believe we only caught 1 trout total, for this time of the year in Vero that was unheard of! Lots of Jacks and Ladyfish but I didn't think to take photos of them.

On the plus side we slayed the bass, literally catching atleast 12 a piece every afternoon, most were small but we took photos of anything approaching 1lb.

One trout a17.jpg, honestely Pat and I fished bewteen the bridges north and south of both bridges respectfully prob around 5 miles each way, couldn't find them, wherever they are they are in large groups keeping warm.

Man that looks nice down there. We're freezing our tail fins off up here on this frozen mountain.
Yup. Sure does look nice.

Every time I think about moving up north or some new place, I remember how nice and warm it is here in January, and how many fish I can catch in January haha...tough to beat!

Anyone have any aluminum welding experience, that isn't super expensive near the greater gainesville area? I'm thinking of redoing my transom at some point in all aluminum.
