We are back!
It has been a very busy winter at the Miss Chris Marina. Many Many Many things are going on and has kept the place very busy.
The Miss Chris got hauled out at Canyon Club Marina. We removed the old shafts, went back with new shafts and couplings as well as dripless shaft seals. The propellers got reconditioned. The bottom got sanded, primed and painted. The Hull sides got sanded, primed, sanded again, and painted with Imron. The waist got sanded and painted with imron and our new red stripe. The upper waist got sanded and painted with imron. The deck got some paint. Lots of love all over the boat to compliment her new engines last season. She is essentially a new boat. Ready to fish! We were due to start this weekend, though weather seems to be postponing this due to wind and rain.
The report from our friends is that Taug are still biting, though the fish have been on the smaller side. Taug fishing will continue through April 30. Some Striped Bass have been caught in the back bays, as well as in Delaware Bay and even areas in the Ocean, though many of the Stripers in the Ocean are also small fish. There are also mixed reports of Drumfish being caught. Bluefish have popped up in Delaware Bay along the beach which is another great sign. The warmer water means an early spring.
In other news at the Miss Chris Marina, if you have been down, you may have noticed some construction. Our dock is being renovated by Arenberg Marine Construction. Some much need love has occurred and the whole dock should be open in the coming week. Thank you for your patience.
A new boat has arrived at the Marina. The Atlantis is 115 feet in length, all aluminum, built by Gulf Craft Inc of Louisiana. She is a new project for us and should be completed by the end of season. We are looking forward to the new opportunities this large platform will bring to the marina.
There is also a new building at the Marina. Our new 30X50 Shop is nearing completion. This new space will allow for more storage of gear, and other opportunities for the Marina. Stay tuned for updates on all the new exciting improvements occurring at the dock.
