Went to Wolf Trap with a couple of buddies on there boat.Blew a wheel bearing out about 5am just b4 we got to Queens Creek. Pulled wheel of and continued to ramp on 3 wheels.Fished Wolf Trap caught 4 small spades on clams once the current ebbed alittle. Then off to the Cell 42 area caught on nice21 in Flounder and about a dozen croaker. White flounder rig with blue strip and minnow. Then headed back across the bay to hole in the wall and ran right inton the storm. Plenty of lighting to make our cheeks pucker but all of a sudden a big burst of wind rips off the bimini top. Oh S&*t. Any way made it back snd the sun came out. Made it back to the 7 11 there at Glenns and aired up the 3 tires we had left. Noticed that 1 hub was warm and looked like a snotty greasy nose. Well any that one came off the trailer just west of West Point so we had to park the trailer at a freinds house a few miles away. Fishing with freinds is alawys a trip. We still had fun and made it home safe and we let the boat owner have the fish. Oh Well !

Berring buddy's are great but still no match for salt water and long tows. Lost a second berring a few weeks ago and that one cost me an axle! I too will remove, clean, Inspect and repack or replace berrrings now every spring.

You shouldn't have a problem if you just stick to fresh water. That leaves more fish for us 'Brinies'.
