I wish you luck in finding her again,i think we all have experienced your pain at one time or another. I lost a monster last year and it still hurts > Nice fish in the pics,thats a pig smallie!

lookin' good !

That's funny,the only time i ever had problems with a finish cracking was when i used e tex,not a single problem when i use devcon. : Nothing i've found holds up to rocks and big toothy salt water fish better than devcon.If your going to test a finish there really is no better place than the ocean during bluefish season. Most people that have cracking problems are either: A. Not mixing it correctly B. using an inferior substrate C. Not properly preparing the surface If your looking for something with the same general properties as e tex(ie thinner viscosity) but made specifically for the marine industry try System 3

Nice Smallies congrats

I've never used flex coat but from what i've read about it it is very similar to the finish i use. I use Devcon

Not a good lure finish,peels off like cellophane.

A great lure for finding fish in spots that go shallow to deep is a spinnerbait. Slow roll the lure allowing it to swim progressively deeper,following the contour of the bottom. I'll cast into a couple of inches of water using this method,works great. Some big surprises lurk in the shallows

This link should do it. That is a bass hunter,i owned one for many years...great little boat!

Nitrogen and phosphorus in lawn fertilizer combined with a lack of natural vegetation along the shoreline.

I rod set up for spinnerbaits and wakebaits and 1 for worm or lizard.

;D I wonder if he's bringing Plax with him

Ok i read as far as "dropping the family off at the in laws" ;D SAS Nice fish and sweet looking spot congrats.

Nice,solid fish congrats.
