Re: Boat insurance

The cost of insurance is one thing, placing a claim is another. We've all had mishaps, but be careful when it's time to make the claim. I use State Farm. A lil more pricey than most, but they have always made any problem right very quickly! Usually less than 24hrs. W most cut rate companies u get on...

Re: sand trought

Depending on how far your coming from and where your staying, I might opt for a guided trip. Usually that's productive fishing! Now you don't have to worry w any of the 1000 things that could and might go wrong w the boat or trailer. The guide provides the gear as well (rods, bait, BOAT), but whatev...

Re: Question for the campers on here.

I've owned many campers over the years. IMO a 26' to 28' bumper pull w a living room slide would be a good place for you to start. The bathroom should be a key point of focus for sure. After many trips to various campgrounds and asking people if they minded us looking in their campers, we found (my ...

Re: retire

My father pulled the trigger over a year ago after much hesitation at age 69. He is a very busy man, mostly cause Mom keeps him hopping! Yard work, farm, rental property, numerous DR. appts, etc. But he's on his own time schedule and as happy as I've ever seen him. He's able to watch grandkids when ...

Re: Question about shooting guns from boats

We always carry a couple of pistols w us for the unknown. Sharks, cobia, tarpon guides... JOKE!! Anyway, never wanted to take a rifle w me for several obvious reasons. But to answer your question, I'm pretty sure none of these actions were illegal. The only law that would get you in trouble is it is...

Re: Black sea bass

How awesome would it be to find out after some studies that they thrive on Lionfish offspring and have followed them closer to shore!

Re: Trailer question?

I had a 22' bayboat w a 225 Honda. The fuel cell was 100gal and it had 4 batteries. This was a heavy boat, I called it a bayboat on steroids. Anyway, it didn't have surge brakes and i never felt as if it needed them. I pulled it w a 02 f150. In the same amount of time i owned this boat (7yrs), my bu...

Re: St Marks sandbar

Pulling a gun is never the right answer! Give us more details on what he was doing w it. Was he a teenager that was clueless and being stupid w it, or was he a grown experienced spearfisher like myself that just pulled it out for a brief second to show someone in a very safe manner how to cock it.

A nice watertight first-aid kit, a spare hand held 2way radio, and per the wife, a set of light weight rain suits for the fam. Enjoy your new boat Rb!

Re: Thought This was worth sharing

As a former Marine, I think i understand what your trying to say. I've stood on the wall while my brothers and sisters slept. Are you quoting somebody, or are these your words? Please elaborate on your post. Put us in your head.

Re: Registering a Boat in GA or FL??

GA taxes have changed when it comes to a tag. A very generous man sold me his old hunting camper for $1.00. The value of the camper was tremendous. Luckily I bought it after my birthday. They wanted almost $5k in taxes for the tag. I was lucky due to the fact that I sold it before my next b day (tha...

Re: Rod/reel for 3.5-year-old?

Buy him a Zebco 11 combo from walmart. I have 5 of them that I use for the nieces and nephews at the farm pond. Compare the price w performance. They have 2 different models. Traditional thumb push cast and a trigger pull spin cast version. I like both. If u plan on him using a spinning reel for mos...
