Super User FryDog62 Posted January 22 Super User Share Posted January 22 Drove from MN to FLA Dec 29-31st. First week of Jan ended up with a clogged widowmaker and a stent. I feel great, but it delayed my kayak project. First phase was to get the kayak out of a marina that got hit by Hurricane Ian. Those Autopilot hulls are a beast - no damage. However, had to replace a compartment hatch, battery box, drain plug, rod holders and lost 4 rods. All cleaned up, replaced the parts - ready to go… then the ambulance ride. Phase 2 was a better tackle management system. I added a 16x16 inch BlackPak Pro with 6 rod holders. Inside holds 8 tackle trays and a big Plano Edge plastics box. What an upgrade, I had stuff sliding all over the tankwell last year. Phase 3 was putting on a Garmin 93sv and Livescope Plus, attached with a Fishing Specialties bowducer. It works really well, we stay on a 500 acre inland freshwater lake - and this time of year bass are moving - from the deeps into the shallows to get ready to spawn. Hard to believe that early, but they are and LS picks up on the movement patterns. Missed the first tournament due to the hospital stay, but second one is on Feb 4 and I’ll be ready this time. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw your post on FB. Sounds kinda like my heart deal; shovel snow, don’t feel well, see doctor next day, sent to the hospital for stents, stents won’t work so following day quadruple bypass! Yeah, fun. It comes as a surprise doesn’t it?!! Thankfully you’re doing well and got the yak sorted. Really like the new additions. Have fun, be safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You went thru it and got the system overhaul and are hopefully good with another 50 year warranty! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
