Winterizing Sad time of year

"So I winterized the boat over the weekend. Who else has? Seems like boating season just got here! Sad! The good thing is the oil in both motor and outdrive looked good when changed, no water. Spark plugs were well used and in need of a change. Fuel filter changed and fuel tank topped up and stabilizer added. It's ready for next year but that seems like a long time away

*sigh* It's going to be a long winter."

"What are you guys talking about! The crappie are just starting to bite again here in North Carolina. I feel your pain though, I used to live in Syracuse N.Y. where summer lasted maybe 4 months. I hope you all have good luck with winterizing and spring comes soon for you."

To not get her in the water at all is very sad.

I don't want to show my ignorance here (at least not any more than I usually do!), but what the heck is a crappie?

"A crappie is a member of the sunfish family. It kind of looks like what a lot of people refer to a "bream" but it has a little bit larger mouth, almost like a bass.They have black speckles all over their bodies, and there are two types, black and white. Down here a lot of people fish for them at night. They get pretty big for a sunfish too."

Pushing it to the limit here i

Pushing it to the limit here in Iowa. We have had scattered frost already but have a few outings still planned. Just got the new boat about one month ago and just can't seem to put her to bed yet. Hope the crappies are as active here as they are down south. That's what we're after this weekend. You guys in the south enjoy your weather and continuous boating. We will be thinking of you up here.
