went out on the lake today another leaky rivet. i only have five left before i have replaced them all. on a side note over a dozen bass mostly the size of my hand. and a few about 1.5 to 2 lb. to many bluegill to count and two perch. and water was like glass.

I sealed it with polyurethane. Great day to be out on the water. Saw other people catching nice cat to so liver will be a must next time out

i have finally made a decision after monday that i need to put a raised floor or just sheet metal to make it flat. monday started out great pickeral bass and perch biting one after the next. trolled to a new area stood up foot went into one of the grooves and over i went. worst part right by a pedestrian bridge. After i got back in i noticed me getting in filled my boat with about 6-8 inches of water in the back. now i might consider a bilge pump to. five nice cats after i fell off the boat.

thats terrible!!!! lol.... wouldnt have minded seeing that happen though! haha


next time you catch all that fish and dont post pictures theres gonna be some trouble! we (well at least i do) enjoy seeing the fruits of your labor!

 

[joseph101088]

all the people on the bridge feeding ducks got a great laugh. so did i once i realized how funny it was. twelve plus feet of water and didnt even go above my chest. at least it wasnt winter fishing for perch. and i do have pics just havent posted them yet but will soon.

 

[joseph101088]

Its a great start going to be watching this thread for more. =P~ I am starting to mod my 14' MirroCraft this weekend or praying that i can start. . [-o< I live in Virginia too where do you go to fish at? :fishing: Right now I have only heard of one place Bob's Fishing Hole. But I really havent caught much there. Couple of small bass, crappie, and a baby cat but nothing exciting.

i think im about done with this build. planning on a bigger 14-16 footer sometime. only thing i will probably be doing is sanding to bare metal and putting a nice paint job on this one. it works perfectly for my needs plus with a 12 you run out of room quick.

Looking good! I grew up fishing in my dad's Sears Game Fisher boat and I have many great memories and countless fish caught from that old boat. My dad still has it to this day 35+ years later. Nice job.

Got called crazy today on the lake. Apparently putting a raised deck on a 1232 is crazy even if you have the balance to do it

 

[inlovewithsurfin]

i dont think its crazy! lol... it made my boat even more stable

I had a 1969 Sears john boat for my first boat, but it was v-hull 12 ft too. Great little boat I miss it sometimes.

I have been wanting to sell it to get into a bigger boat but I really like it with that deck up front. Might have to take it to my dad's the next time I visit Ohio so I have room for another. Its really stable for such a small boat.

I've only ever hog hunted, and birds, I can't do deer, bambie ruined me for life haha! But I do love guns fun to shoot, and I'm sure you've shot cooler bigger guns than me!

I like to deer hunt a little. But mostly rabbit and squirrel. I also love to shoot and if an m16 that jams when you really need it is cool you can have it I paint and do body work on a fighter jet so no guns or fighting for me. Still deploy but we like to keep our stealth jets in friendly countries and fly over enemies.
