Wow, what a difference a week makes.  Last week it was 55 degrees and felt like winter would never get here.  This morning it was 24 degrees at my house and it hasn't gotten above freezing yet today.  That means ski season is finally here and I'm busy with hiring and training new and returning ski & snowboard instructors.  At our first Instructor Training Course of the season over at Greek Peak this past weekend we had 44 candidates try out and after it was all said and done, we accepted 21 of them for further training.  We have another group of people trying out for the school next weekend plus we have clinics going on for all the new and returning instructors.  These next few weekends are some of the busiest of the year for me.  But even still, fishing and boating are never far from my mind.  We have a few projects lined up for the off-season, including adding another Humminbird 1157C and all new Cannon Dual Axis Rod Holders to the boat.  We already have one 1157C on the boat and we loved it so much that we've decided to add a second one to use as a big-screen GPS/Plotter with XM Satellite weather.  The new rod-holders are going to be a great addition to the boat; we used the rigger mounted Cannon rod holders all of last season and found them to be the best rod holders we've ever used, so we've decided to add some of their track-mounted holders this year.  We're really looking forward to the new additions, and I'm sure that you'll like them too!

Also, I was checking out the Krenzer Marine website today and I found that they have a great on-line store that you might want to check out:

                                                          

I didn't know that they had such a great selection of parts & accessories online!  As you know, the Krenzer guys fished with us a little bit this past summer, and I've found them to be fantastic to deal with.  They've hauled my boat a couple of times, done some service work for me, and now I see that they have this online store.  They're a great bunch of people to deal with and I'd definitely recommend them to you for any of your boating needs.  They've certainly treated me right and I wouldn't recommend them to you if they hadn't.

I guess that's about it for now.  Think snow!

Until Next Time,
Fish On!!
