New stuff my lovely wife made for me...late birthday present!

Thwart bag and tramp-o-tump. Got some 1000 denier Cordura off eBay for cheap, she sewed it up for me. Found that they have water-resistant zippers at Hancock Fabric. The tump will dual purpose as a catch-all when fishing or day tripping on non-travel days. Just move it toward the back seat (got the idea from a Cliff Jacobsen book).

...and the setup I ended up with for my Piranhamax 170 I bought with the $100 birthday bill my mother-in-law gave me. I have awesome in-laws!
Bowman will be doing the structure reading on my upcoming end-of-May trip.

Just had to share!

With a bow mount finder, I like how after the fish show up on the screen you have time to spare to get set. :)

Thanks, TeamTuna, I kinda like the digital camo pattern, too. Not as expensive as Mossy Oak Breakup or whatever. And light enough in color not to get too hot in the sun!

I think you got a keeper there. Lucky guy.

The amount of satisfaction you get from life depends largely on your own ingenuity, self-sufficiency, and resourcefulness. People who wait around for life to supply their satisfaction usually find boredom instead.
