Well, picked up a busted boat(transom rotted owner pulled motor with intent to redo transom and gave up), trailer, and a 1992 70 Evinrude that appears to be in great shape for almost nothing yesterday. Plan is to use the trailer, sell my trailer, sell accessories off the boat, and hopefully have a good motor. Going to test compression, clean carbs, new water pump, and see what we have.

Good luck!

Getting all my goodies in order. About to hit the creeks hard. Been scouting alot lately and found a few but the weather is slowly changing.

Really need to get my electronics setup and start fishing the main lake. Its hard to get out the creeks and away from what i know.

What part of TX you in? I feel like we are still a ways out from them being up in the creeks in Central TX.

I’m in Huntsville. Bounce around between Livingston and Conroe. Theres actually a decent number of fish that stay in the creeks year round

Sounds like a good plan. Post a DIY if you feel like taking pictures. I like to watch someone else work on a project. Gives me ideas and passes the time when I run out of cash for one of mine.

Ah, gotcha. I was figuring east, a lot of our creeks mostly dry up. In LA we can catch them up in tiny water year round as well. Good luck!

Hopefully won't be much of a thread, just a motor tune up and swap.

The ski boat I am working on would be a thread, but that would be exhausting to type up haha.

Lots of good reviews on the new garmin livescope software update. Color limit setting to clean up the screen while keeping the gain high and jig visible.

You should be able to just download the update to an SD card then update the unit.

It's a big file so just need good wifi to download and run the exe file on an SD card.

I opened Active Captain app on my phone and downloaded the update while on WiFi. Then I turn on my Garmin 8612 and connect my phones Active Captain to it and upload the update to the unit from my phone.
