New Crappie Chaser Will Soon Be Ready

[Ketchn]

The Crappie Machine is almost ready. Fishing seats are in, cabinets are in place. The Force trolling motor was installed and tested today.

Tomorrow I will hook up my Livescope system. That will complete all the major items.

Only thing left to do is hook up some courtesy lights by the front cabinets for changing jigs, etc. and converting the one battery box to a live well at the bow. Still waiting for parts for the livewell conversion.

Alsmost forget, I am having the front door converted into a half door so I can have it closed while using the trolling motor. At my age and lousy balance I can't take chances.

BTW , let me buy you a light Ez , we been buying light bars at work for the forklifts , they are super bright ,really low low profile and led , H and I know you need one for sure , we done discussed it ....

Only if you agree to a night fishing trip to test it.

And by the way, don't forget to schedule monthly fishing trips to different lakes in your calendar since the Crappie Fishing Machine is almost ready for it's test road trip.

A lot of light is a must for night fishing

[ezgoing]

I have two 50 watt LED lights that I use for night fishing. I haven't mounted them on the new pontoon yet but they will be mounted for sure.

I am also mounting two touch LED's on each side of the bow that are quite bright as well. These will only be used when needed to retie a jig, etc. as they are too bright to leave on while fishing.

Can't have too much light for driving.

lets try out west maybe next week if possible , my schedule is pretty tight these days , but to be sure we need to go hammer in it ....
maybe a weekend trip ,so we have time to drag it both directions ....
those enhanced version images of it made it look like a fish slinging machine for sure

I have been looking at the remote spotlights. They are pricey but I believe that would be great for driving the boat. Had one one an electric truck years ago. Sure was handy to have

Will need to postpone it a week or two after that. I'm getting a heart catheterization done on the 11th, pre-op on the 7th. Not sure how long after that before the Doctor will allow me to return to normal life after the proceedure.

But we can certainly do an afternoon fishing trip on Joe Pool this week or next.

Hopefully they will get ya all fixed up quickly.
