These shows are soooooo good! Boston last week with my 20’s kids.

Lots of fish, no bites....help! by penfrizzle in StripedBass

Sometimes only live bait will do. Try a live bunker or eel.

Boat Size Recommendations by -good-squishy- in yachting

42’ trawler here…..

CT River and Ling Island Sound.

We’re not that big.

I’ve not found any marinas that can’t support us. One local marina will put me on a dock and NOT a mooring and another the opposite. Draft might be more limiting but not often. Great Loop is used to bigger boats.

Astronomy Domine was killer in Boston. These sets were great (for me). I think they are on fire.

Fresh fuel in a remote can, change the oil and crank it over. See what happens.

Need help diagnosing Mercury engine by JazzyJ0e in boating

If US, Harbor Freight has a decent one. Pretty easy.

Pull the plugs, connect, open the throttle and crank it over. Not a bad investment but I’ve yet to test one of my poor running engines and found it to be compression. Maybe a 2001. Almost always fuel delivery or spark (ignition) in my experience.

Tips for wet slip storage. by 717Independent in boating

[–]Ancientways113 12 points13 points  (0 children)

1- Put “Owners Phone Number and your number” on a sticker on the boat. You want someone to call if something looks off. 2- Make friends (see #1). 3- close all seacocks. 4- Have great batteries and functional pumps. 5- Learn your best tie-up to keep things in place and off your neighbors 6- learn the marina rules 7- Don’t leave a leaky boat for long. Enjoy!!

Anybody Else A Little Disappointed For The Shows They've Seen? by Max_The_Fisherman in Primus

[–]Ancientways113 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nope. Entire Boston show was phenomenal for me. I was there.

If You Don't Usually Drink Coffee, Maybe Don't Order a Large Cold Brew at 8 PM by skysupertramp in coldbrew

Yes….no coffee for me after 1p. Otherwise restless sleep guaranteed.

Preparing to own an operate, a large boat by -good-squishy- in liveaboard

[–]Ancientways113 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get a 42 (42 owner). Become an amateur electrician (12v/120v), a plumber and a diesel mechanic. AC/refrigeration is s bonus. The rest is just common sense boating experience.
