Rita and I will be coming down from Havre de Grace. We missed it last year but are looking forward to this year. Thanks for doing this.

My son and I left Sandy Point and trolled near Bloody Point all day and until dark. In 11 hrs we got on fish 33 inches and one knock down. Went again late Sunday p.m. without anything to show for it.

Here are a few: Q: What are spat? A: Baby Oysters. Q: What is the scientific name of the Chesapeake Bay Oyster? A: Crassotrea virginica Q: When were the Chesapeake Bay Oyster Wars? A: 1882-1883 Q: What are tongs? A: Tools used catch oysters in deep water. Have fun.

Each day when I drive by I notice a Parker 23 (?) in the repo lot near Aberdeen, MD. I havent stopped to look so dont know the particulars. But it looks to be a 23ft, a few years old. If anyone would like me to get more info let me know.

We have a 2120 and sometimes the cabin does get a little warm here on the Chesapeake. You can always get a fan which helps a great deal and I believe there is an option of having the port side windshield open as well as the one in front of the helm I would consider that. You also might...

I am thinking abt a radar for our 2120, mostly to find birds. I would appreciate hearing thoughts, experiences and recommendations. What should I know before I buy one, what model would you recommend, would you recommend one at all. That sort of thing. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks Kevin, Dale and Ron. Rita and I had a great time. I was a first for us and a great experience. Everyone was warm and welcoming--cant wait until next time.

My wife and I are planning to attend. This will be a first for us and sounds like fun. We are looking forward to meeting folks from the board.

I want to put a Lewmar Pro Series 700 on our 2120 but keep looking at the anchor locker and wondering if 200 ft of 1/2 rode is going to drop into it. Anybody have any thoughts or experience? Thanks.

i thought this was a great idea but i couldnt find any foam with the manly diamond plate look so i got the sesame street stuff from Home Depot. it is gray if u turn it over. i put it in yesterday and havent had a chance to try it yet. will let u know if i have any problems with it.

Nick, I like that idea, the mounting location and especially of using silicon so you dont drill more holes.

Has anyone added a casting rail to the bow of a 2120? I would like to do it but havent found anyone able to do it for me. Any ideas? Thanks.

Nice to hear from all the Parker owners around Harford County. My wife and I keep our 2120 on a trailer at home near Havre de Grace. If you folks decide on a fishing trip or raft up this summer we would appreciate being invited. Regards
