Late last year, we discussed the process of properly winterizing your boat and motor. Well, it’s time to turn around and go the other way.
If things were taken care of properly in the late fall/early winter, making sure everything’s ready for the boating season should be a relatively smooth undertaking.
“It’s much faster,” says Lynnhaven Marine Service Writer John Miles. “Takes longer to charge the battery than to de-winterize it.” |

The folks at Lynnhaven run through a complete checklist to make sure everything’s in ship-shape. Checking the fuel is super important.
“If you just have old fuel and no water in the tank, you should put in some higher octane,” Miles said. “If there’s water in the tank, you want to pump it all out and start with new fuel.” |

What a wonderful time of year to be an angler. |
Everything seems to be biting and there’s high anticipation of the arrival of some of the migratory species starting to make their way into the region’s waters. Topping that list for most is the red drum.
Sure, we’ve had a great puppy drum year – thanks in part to a relatively mild winter that kept lots of fish in the area. But we’re talking about the big boys and girls – bulls as they’re affectionately, and correctly, referred to. Big bulls already are showing in great numbers along the Carolina coast, being taken on piers, from the surf, and from boats fishing close to shore. |

It’s about time for those wonderful evening cruises that the family looks forward to so much.
Trouble is, there’s a new member of the family – that puppy grandma bought over the holidays for the kids.
This leaves you with two choices – is your dog going to be one of those go-everywhere with you K-9s or are they going to cuddle up on the end of the bed waiting for their family to come home? Hopefully, you can choose the first option, which makes life more fulfilling for family and pets alike. |

It’s a warm, sunny day. There are only a few people on the water and the trout and puppy drum are biting…
A boat ramp scene like this one is the last thing you’d expect to see.
The better the fishing, the nicer the day, the more chaos you can expect at a boat ramp. Especially around south Hampton Roads, a region sorely in short supply of boat ramps. For a region surrounded by water, with a huge boating community, there should be at least 10 times more ramps. |
