She's Ready to Catch Some Fish!

by Capt Juls on 02/25/13

Well, the boat is rigged and ready to fish thanks to the help of my friend, Scott Bogen, who whipped my boat into shape with the plethora of new toys that needed to be installed.

There are still a few items that need to be installed yet, but as far as being able to efficiently catch fish, she's ready to go.

I still need to add the tracks for the Bert's Trolling Trees, and the tracks and power ports for the Cannon Down Riggers, but it won't be long until that is all done too.

It was a beautiful day today, and the sun was shining warmly on my skin while I puttered around and did some odds and ends in the boat.. Tomorrow, we are expecting a mix of rain turning to snow with a total accumulation of 6 inches by Thursday....sigh. I'm so ready to be done with winter now. Ya hear that Momma Nature? I'm done with it already!!

Come on Spring!!! :)

The Boat is Home...:)

by Capt Juls on 02/17/13

I picked up my boat from Vic's Sport Center a couple of days ago, and sure enough, it has snowed (flurries) every day since then. The ice on the lake is still out there. Today's temps are only in the 20's, but tomorrow it warms to a whopping 43 degrees. A friend of mine said, "We'll be fishing in two weeks". I hope he's right, but first I have the rest of the boat rigging to take care of, so I need it to warm up quick!

Two More Days!

by Capt Juls on 02/13/13

The time is near.....I get to pick up my new Ranger 621 on Friday! The new Terrova 101 with iPilot LINK was delivered by my friendly Fed-X driver yesterday too.

My spare bedroom is packed full of new toys to install on the boat, and I'm looking forward to getting it all out of there very soon, so I can open the door up again. I have to keep it closed, due to the new four legged addition in the house that likes to find things to chew on. :)

The one "toy" that has my curiosity up the most is the Cannon Digi-Troll 10 downriggers. I have never used them before, so it's going to be a learning experience this year. And, I plan to put that experience...from the install, learning to run them, and catching fish on them, in this blog to help others who have never run them either learn to do so, or at the very least, help give them confidence to do so. Because, if I can do it, anyone can! :)

Stay tuned....

Spring Can't Come Soon Enough!

by Capt Juls on 01/29/13

It's January 29th and it's 50+ degrees out. It feels like spring, but there's still a few months to go.

The good news is, my new Ranger boat is at Vic's Sports Center, but there to, I will have to wait to pick her up until their boat shows are over with for the season. They are so busy right now I do not want to bother them. Besides, I can wait a little longer to get her.

With the warmer weather, it has inspired me to get a blog going for this season.

I plan is to make it like a diary with experiences from each of my guiding trips. The hard part will be doing it in a timely fashion, as often times I am working my regular job at night and there's not much time in between a day trip and my night job. :)

Bear with me, and if you have any suggestions to help make my business an even better experience, please share your thoughts here.

Thanks and I look forward to fishing with you this season!
