You can buy livewell pumps or aerators and just use a big enough cooler as a livewell

Damn What a crazy day. Sorry to hear about the tire and all the crap that came along with it Neil. So were all the fish caught up to the right in that cove with all the rocks? At around noon we came around the island in 2 foot swells. Our choice was to either fight the wind to try and get in there or leave. Seeing that we were within 100 yards of the ramp we opted to leave. I know it's not anywhere near the kind of problems that some people had but I blew a trailer light. I'm not a big fan of driving with no blinker or brake light. We won't be at either of the next 2 tourney's. S Watupa doesn't do anything for me and I have to work the following week.

Shawn,

I know this is obvious after the fact, but it is easy to keep a few spare bulbs in the car or your tool kit. I go through them like butter.

Glad to see everyone was ok it sounded like awful conditions.

Since I started unplugging my lights when I launch and remove I haven't had anymore issues with blown bulbs. This helps A lot.

Thanks guys. Rookie mistake on my part. I'm going to do both, get some spares and unplug.

Congrats to Rich/Tony and the cookiecuuters. Rough day I had a an extra bilge running in the boat for the last two hours from waves crashing over the front. Still no excuse to not catch.

Way to go to ken/coastguard and north shore for having the only other fish!
