hello all, my name is steve. i have already posted here on some different projects that i have completed, but i never saw this part where we could introduce ourselves. perhaps i got the cart before the horse, sorry bout that.
anyway, i live in laguna vista tx. and fish for redfish and speckled trout. i grew up, however, in northeast texas, longview, kilgore, tyler area. fished all my life there for bass. then, later in life began fly-fishing for trout, browns and bows, up in brokenbow oklahoma; i miss that a lot now that i am as far south as one can go in texas.
i am a christian: a youth minister, translator, musician, and whatever else my father-n-law/pastor of our church needs me to be. i thank God everyday for the mind He has given me to be creative when it comes to working in my garage and on my "tinny". many times i lie awake at night cause i cant get project i want to build out of my head!!! i am also a teacher for a local school district. i teach english 9-12 grade, also english as a second language.

thanks to all of you for such a great site; i have gleened many ideas from here so far, many of which, i incorperated on my last project. God bless you all!! Merry CHRISTmas!!!

I mostly bass fish. On occasion, I'll fish for crappie. I've been saving the fly fishing stuff for when I retire. I am looking forward to both...in another 11 or so years. :shock:

Hello all,

I am glad I found this site, I've been going through the build/mod threads quite a bit before I joined and even more now; incredible work for sure.

For me, I enjoy hunting and fishing (mainly inshore) as much as anyone. I will hopefully be able to add my own build thread as I am wanting to build a bit of a hybrid (bowfishing/duck/fishing) rig. I realize it will all be a big compromise on all parts but I'm ok with that. Until then I will continue learning and getting ideas.

Great site you all have here.

Cartman

[KevinWI]

Hello,
My name is Kevin and I live in Central WI. Grew up in Hayward, WI fishing the Chippewa Flowage.

Late this summer I purchased a 1996 Alumacraft 1648 Semi-V with a 25 merc tiller. Sweet little boat that came with carpeted removable floor decking installed.
My intentions now is to mod it a bit and make it more user friendly for fishing and hunting. Lots of great ideas here...still working out in my head about a livewell...not many options out there to be honest. Not a huge fan of the hick look portable cooler, although I'm sure it works. Anyway, figured I'd join and eventually start the project this winter sometime.
Sometimes I like the projects more than the actual purpose... :LOL2:

Hey CreekLife and KevinWI....welcome to TinBoats. We're all happy to have you here.

Remember....we like to see pictures with those projects. :wink:
