I'm in the northern Gulf, they're showing up between Destin and Mexico beach

That's a homemade straw rig we use for Spanish. Use to use McDonald straws, but they changed the diameter, they wouldn't track right. I make mine out of Newk's straws. I put the red bead in front of the straw to help it track straight. Put three of them on dropper loops and tie a Clarke...

Water temp went from 65*-68* to 72* this last week and the fish came with the warm water. Went trolling with my son yesterday and saw fish everywhere. Of course, the wind was howling. Spanish do not freeze well, so we only kept 5. That's plenty for a meal and all i wanted to clean. Not...

I’m not an IO guy, I see a radiator cap, does it have a heat exchanger? I know those are expensive maintenance along with bellows and gamble bearings. All that in good shape? I always liked that hull layout. It would make a great candidate for a bracket conversion. Full transom with fuel...

Not as easy as the cuddy, but not much harder. Should be able to remove screws holding down console and lean it toward the side the rigging tube is on and rest it on the gunnel. Then remove the tank hold cover. I' never done a wellcraft cc, but helped a friend do a 19 mako. I did do my...
