What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

Believe me I try to avoid taking it for a dive but sometimes you cant avoid it.....especially if you get caught in a storm.

Good news great news and bad news. Good news is I got my fishing pole holders installed today since I left work early.  Great news is my dad surprised me with a hds gen two touch 7 fish finder to put on the boat. He used his cabelas points and found one in the Bargin cave for 730. So I left work early to go put it on and spent an hour or two buried under the console getting all the wires ran. Got it mounted on a ram mount and put on the dash then it would power on. Guess we found out why it was in the bargain cave. So I went back to cabelas and found a manager. He took care of me a have me a full refund on what my dad paid and sold me the hds7 gen three for $1010. So I was only out of pocket about 200. Now I have to find some time to go get this one installed. Walter

We'll I took my brother and buddy out tonight for a little fishing. The new rod holders worked great and I didn't have to have my rods laying all over the floor. Also got the new fish finder mounted and powers up. Just have to pull the boat out of the slip and put it on the trailer for a few mins to run the transducer correctly.  We managed to catch two decent cats. But had a great time.  Lake was great tonight. Walter

Took a swim tonight and got the transducer mount and hooked up to the new fish finder. It is all up and working now. Just have to figure out how to use it and what all it does. But at least I will know how deep of water I am in. My brother also bought me another rod holder so I got it mounted on the back with the other three. Things are coming together and working great. But also had a little problem. When we were out fishing wed night I told my brother that we can not forget to get the shad out of the bait box, frozen shad just put them there to store. Well you can probably guess what we forgot to do so now I need to go back and do some cleaning.
