So far, just cleaning and lubricating reels, sharpening hooks and rearranging tackle boxes. Haven't begun my main project yet, which is to build a rod holder out of PVC pipe and fittings. Tired of the poor designs available.

Just finished about 160 custom paints. Designed a new crank specifically for the Great Lakes. Repainted a few of my own baits. New line on the reels today. Couple dozen baits to paint yet. And get some baits out to friends and guides for testing this year. Longest winter ever. And it's cold as hell still! Ways to go here in the north.

Have been working quite a bit on my old Ranger 680c: swapped in a new to me Merc 115, new gauges, new steering wheel, wet sand and buff of entire hull, various other small updates.

Planning an October wedding now so it doesn't interfere with free time when the season is open.

Similar to my list on my 680T! Repowered with a 60 HP Johnson, and adding a Tach and fuel gauge. Also extending my rod locker to hold my longer rods.

Clammer, how are you going about extending your rod locker?

Clammer, I've thought about that. Please let me know how that works out. Thanks.
