Looking good Blue! it won't be long now. I find that just finding the time to work on the boat between work, the house and the "honey do's" is half the battle.
The console paint doesn't look bad at all - did you end up painting yourself or did fiberglassman do it for you? and if you don't mind the asking, from where and how much for the very nice T-Top and leaning post?

Re: Reconstruction Begins!
 

thanks groveguy.
i painted the console myself. the problem was the spray gun i had. the lean post came from the marine flea market from www.qualitymarinefab.com for $450. it would have been $600 with the backrest. the t-top was custom made in a guys back yard actually for $850. he does AWESOME work. all of the tubing is oversize aluminum and the welds are better than some of the shops i went to. if anyone wants his phone number ill PM it to u.

good luck with the dolphin I fish Friday,Sat and sunday and caught 2 22 inch dolphin and 1 grouper that was 3/4 of an inch short trolling on the patches....Pretty slow but it always nice being on the water!

Re: hibernation over!
 

brad were u at the patches right outside of caesers creek?

Re: hibernation over!
 

yeah inbetween ceasars and angle fish! First time I've ever caught a grouper trolling like that with a big yo-zuri lure

Re: hibernation over!
 

there are some nice fish there... how deep were u?

Re: hibernation over!
 

Looks like E lake where you have the boat.

I live just to the other side of US 1 in pinecrest.

Love that lake

Re: hibernation over!
 

that is E lake! my friend lives there in the middle leg of the E. thats his angler in the back ground.

Re: hibernation over!
 

I caugfht that grouper in about 14 feet....We went spearfishing on Friday and ended up with 12 hog snapper and one nice red grouper. oh and 1 school master. Got some nice spots marked in about 25-35 feet...Also I think lobster will be good this year saw alot of lobster out there.
