Re: The Barge is retiring to Winni !!!!! Squam report.
I have nobody scheduled for Saturday if ya want to jump on The Barge one last time, it's slow, but not dead.
Wow that was some Bow, a few 4.5 pound Bows were caught last Saturday, the big ones should be biting soon, our mongrel NH Bows are trying to decide now if they are spring or fall spawners, ha-ha. Some are in tight, some are down deeper.
Let me know on Saturday so I can hook up with someone else if ya can't make it.
Alone in the wind does s---, but on The Barge with 2 people it's fine.

John need to have a retirement party or something. There have been a lot of very nice fish caught on the barge. It really needs an official retirement.

Is kind of sad to retire such a great fishing machine, but she's getting old and unlike women, they are allot easier to trade in for new model, ha-ha. I gave allot of thought to it and it seems to be the right thing to do.
May have auto pilot on the new ride too, setting lines alone in any kind of wind real bites it, but I had reservations about using auto pilot on the Barge, her steering was always a bit stiff ?????? New everything should make it work allot better.
You and your brother have to jump on again before she retires, we can have a retirement party.

John,
It was an honor to spend so many days on board the Barge with you "Fish'n Squam Agian". I guess I would say I'll miss hanging off the back untangling line off the motor or ducers....or contorting myself to fix a loose wire or screw....or trying to net another big fish off the side...while Forry or Floydo throw jabs....Its been fun, educational, and enjoyable. I'll miss fishing off her deck...but look forward to the time spent on the new ride. I'm sure you are doing it right...you always do.

Roger-
It was a great fishing machine, I doubt new owner will fish it much, told me I could take off all the fishing stuff. So as I plan to buy new rod holders, I'll be selling my black Lexan holders. I'm going with anodized aluminum from Traxtech, I wanted them before but they would not fit behind my couches, the new boat will be fine.
Find some time to fish and I'll be happy to have to you on board anytime. The new boat lends itself to fishing very well, it's actually a custom made model, not even on their web site or catalog. Cant wait, going to put auto pilot on too so that fishing alone will be easier.

forry
Boy we know who has the big bucks "AUTO PILOT?" LOL. if I could on mine I'd do the same thing.
I found out "retirement is when you stop saving for retirement and start spending". May need a loan, not money, your truck, ha-ha. Allot of trailers and boats to move around later this month. Maybe you can hop on for the maiden voyage, wont be til early June, like the 3rd or 4th.
