I posted my story earlier about how it has been a bad year, with loosing my job which then caused me to loose my home, and truck and 20 foot boat. Which then I worked ...more off some labor to inquire a small 12 foot piece of junk 12 foot 1985 boat with a non working 1965 9.9 evinrude outboard. Well after months of tinkering and finding used parts i got boat to float with out to many major leaks and motor to run when its in a good mood. I have (because of lack of funds) found at garage sales junk fishing tackle and reels poles etc to at least attempt to classify myself as a fisherman. Here is just one picture of my gear. Yea i know, but i guess after some time and work, it might work,
