    Default Cleaned the boat today!


    Man, talking about a job! I got a white fiberglass boat, ionside and out. Been crappie fishing at night in it for a month and a half without cleaning it up. I cut the heads off my fish to pull them in a rocket fish basket before I pull anchors when I go fishing. Also have minners squashed in the floor of the boat almost every time out. Blood from fish hooked too deep, crud on the floor, bugs plastered to the console and seats, big ugly mudline painted to the hull of the boat.....I think you can get a visual picture. Well, took me three buckets of hot water mixed with Clorox and then re-washed the boat with wash/wax but finally got the job completed and the boat stored away in the boat barn looking almost good as new again. Just finished a three-nite stalking of crappie and now the boat is cleaned and ready to start over again on the long holiday weekend coming up. Aint catching fish some kinda fun!! Good fishin' guys.
    Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

    you have gone and messed up the fish catching abilities of the boat. Should have left the the fish attractants on the boat.
    Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
    Teach a man to fish, he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

    I think it is against the law to have a clean fishing boat in Va. LOL

    Gee, thanks. Did not know why we had not been bothered by not even one fly on our usual picnics in the Smokies. They had all moved to Georgia :D :D . Now go get some more fish cause I'm headed out again to the mountains.

    I'll clean my boat out when I'm through fishing under Cypress trees. It is amazing how many limbs fall off the trees and ones you break off.

    Use a steam cleaner next time, makes short work out of a nasty job.

    I have to agree with driller. Stopping at a car wash with those high pressure hoses works wonders on a dirty boat n truck...

    I know what you mean. She can get really dirty real quick. Next time try some stuff called Grease Lightning. I work great and even better than bleach for alot of stuff.
