Winter Weather Blues

It the middle of January and it's dark just after 5:00. Another winter storm is working it's way across the country and getting ready to dump snow all over the NorthEast. The marina is frozen over so the native fisherman are getting restless. The striper will be here in March so everyone is counting the days before we can get back out on the water and catch a 40 pound striper. I completely understand. I traded in my heels and make up for a rod and a bunker spoon last summer. After catching a 42 pound striper with Tom Morford Jr. and Captain Hans Kaspersetz I'm hooked. Even getting sea sick can't keep me off the boat, and searching for birds on the horizon helps quite a bit. This is the perfect time of the year to clean your rods, replace the line if needed and rig your boat so you won't waste any time finding fish when the ice melts and the weather breaks. It's also a great time to read the fishing forums like Bloody Decks and check out what's new in the marine electronics world at www.NorthernMarineElectronics.com. Like all great things, they come to those who wait. And we have been waiting patiently for our new website to launch and it's almost time to cut the ribbon and open the doors. Our new website will be a great go to for the latest fishing videos from all the major manufacturers. One must see video is the Lowrance Structure Scan side scan & down scan sonar and the Flir night vision video. These camera's are great for fishing, hunting and overall night safety. The new NSE12 is also something worth checking out especially with the $300 dollar rebate currently being offered by Simrad. The NSE Series is a complete multifunction solution which even allows for full auto pilot control right on your display. Add radar and structure scan for the newest and most technologically advanced marine electronics package available. LED backlighting makes this screen viewable in any lighting condition.
If we don't get snowed in tonight, we will be heading to the New York boat show tomorrow. Tom Morford Jr. just can't seem to stay away, after spending so many years working as the NE Rep for Wellcraft & Monterrey Boats. Jennifer and Christine will take any opportunity to go the the big apple! If you are in the Atlantic City area Feb 2-6, be sure to stop by the boat show. We will be working with Aqualuma lights and Ocean View Technologies to promote their line of underwater lilghting and try out Ocean View's new low light imagers and fixed mount thermal imagers. We hope to see you there.
Did I mention it's cold....and snowing.....
