50 degrees on the way out this morning and we didn't see 60 until past 300 fow. Went to the 32 line and had no action the first two hours. Than we got an 18 lb King on meat at 72'. Then we got a 10 lb steelie on an orange spoon at 25'. That was all we caught today. Temps on the way in stayed at 60 or above all the way to the break wall. Currents were wicked and a to time we had two divers and two rigger spoons tangled. Spent hours today clearing messes.

When I rebuilt the trailer on my 17 footer I lowered the front and blocked. The I used a chain and come along to raise the front from a rafter in my garage. For the Sportcraft I took the trailer home after docking at Wiley's for the season and loaded when we took her home.

The mat is a product called Dri-Dek. I used a shop mat for a couple of years but the uv was not kind to it and it was brittle after two seasons. Used the Dri-Dek for about four years now and it is still like new. It comes in one foot interlocking squares.

The deck is ready to fish.

Thanks for the report. Encouraging info to spark the interest for our trip this weekend.

Fishing is the plan. Cleaned her up today, pack her tomorrow and head north on Saturday.

Actually, the plan is to just go fishing. Planning to be at the Oak Saturday afternoon through Thursday.

It has a 15 foot finish. If you stand back 15 feet you can't see the flaws.

We have a mat made from a product called Dri-Dek that we cover it with. We did not put any other finish in the two coats of gel coat applied.

Gel coat is on.

Floor panels are glassed. Now on to sanding and gel coat and the project will be complete.

Floor patches poured. Six days to splash.

Floor pans are in place. One week to splash

Sister boards are glued and screwed. Start putting the floor panels that were cut out today. 8 days to splash at the oak.
