Been working on my fishing garage / mancave. Thought I'ld put some more pictures on here of what I have already done and I will continue to add new ones as I progress in case anyone was curious.

Simple two car, attached, single door, side load garage.

Wifes car goes on one side, the other side is all mine.

What I have done so far is add 10 electrical outlets, flat screen TV and surround sound. I have covered one corner of the garage with cork tiles and other than the cost of the tiles, I really like the looks of it.

I have also added a diamond plate backsplash behind the workbench and several stained dowels to hang baits on.

This weekend I painted the overhead storage shelf and some window trim. I have also started collecting antique reels. I have stained a 1" hardwood dowel which I will mount the reels to with O-rings for display.

This winter I plan on adding wainscoting around the lower portion of two walls, covering the wall behind the trolling rods with cork and doing something with the ceiling.

I am not much of a "handy man" so my projects take me twice as long and cost twice as much.

More pictures.

I put in the overhead storage so when I winterize the boat EVERYTHING will fit in the garage. Up top is all the removable upholstery, life jackets, planer boards, coolers and misc gear.

Downriggers are mounted on pads up off the floor and all my baits hang from stained and urethaned hardwood dowels.

It is heated via a tank top propane heater on a 30 gallon tank.

Great fishing garage! Love it.

I take it you are a salty. Not a Freash water fisherman.

I will deffinately be stealing some Ideas.

Also love the hell's Bell's bucket labeling. As a fellow angler (fresh water) you can never have too many buckets. They seam to disappear of the coarse of the summer unless the labeled

One question, what's the name of the boat. Don't see anything on the walls showing it off.

The boat's name is "Hell's Belle". My wife wanted it named after her...actually, I'm just an AC/DC fan and I thought it sounded pretty cool.

Met Ron Jeremy in Seattle a number of years ago..actually a really nice, funny guy..anyhow, he ask if I wanted a picture. It's signed "Keep it up, Ron", Its amazing how many people see it and ask who it is, others spot it a mile away.

Anyway, here is a picture of the boat.
