Bought Billy a 300 and 400 copper set up for Christmas. Never run it on our boat and have never been on a boat running it either. Hope the learning curve isn’t too steep lol.

Meguiars makes some really nice wax, i use their Flagship wax, great stuff

 

I am looking at a boat lift, portable, Brownells i think it was, to do my bottom

[Sk8man]

6 cannon rod holders with tracks and gimbal mounts and a new 300 copper (as if I need another rod and reel)

The most important upgrade to my boat will happen in April. Six years ago, my little nephew joined LOU under the handle " Fishing's Finest", hoping to become a better fisherman. I've had him out with me a number of times learning about our fishery, and he loves it.  For the last four years he's been in Europe, North Africa, off the coast of Iran with the amphibious assault ships, Japan, and is presently South of the DMZ in South Korea training the SC marines. He is a Lance Corporal, USMC. He returns to civilian life on April 2, 2021. The change from teenager to grown man has been astounding.  This year we will switch up roles, he will learn how to handle the boat and trailer, pick the programs, and set the lines, and I'll sit back and reel in the fish...... I can't wait to get my fishing partner back!

 

First King.... then

 

Now...

That's awesome! We all appreciate his service.

 

As for the YT we're adding '50 coppers. Been a 100' guy since we got into copper fishing, and want to expand on it. Looking at adding just 250' and 350' right now. Also, putting down some PlasDECK on the swim platform and back deck. Lastly, adding a Mooching reel for clients looking to add a little fun to the fight.

John,

 

What made you go 8612 over 1243 or 126?

[Roys Boys]

Bought a new Yamaha kicker back in June never hooked it up it’s going on in spring with some trim tabs.. a couple new coppers.. maybe 1 or 2 new spoons..lol

[Sk8man]

Probably be a lot more than a FEW spoons Steve

[Frogger]

That will be a nice addition Steve.

I’m hoping to upgrade to new DR rods. Probably time to go through my spoons and get back to my primary needs.

Nice, they're a little overkill for what we need them for, but you can't pass up a good deal!

Total rewire, upgrade to 4 stroke main (looking for a used one) and 4 stroke kicker. First year in many that I haven’t bought trolling rods, reels, or spoons in the off season. I have some more copper rigs to set up that were purchased last year.

JD.....Thank you to your nephew and family for his service and sacrifice to our country!! God bless

 At my age and the COVID 19 just hoping to get out would be a gift ! Hopefully we can see some results from the cormorant cull last fall to benefit our in shore spring fishery in Ontario ?
