Wuz sittin on Yamaha at 7:30 this mornin. Lots of short AJs and grouper w/one keeper Gag. Moved to Bryson And played with AJs until 2:00. Total for the day: Lots of good eatin, 3 whiped men and a tired minni me(Steven Jr.)
We fished and trolled some live bottom in about 35ft of water and caught one keeper RG and a few shortss. SHould have went and played with the AJ's like you. My mini me had a good time though and fished hard.
It sure isnt my ol carolina skiff . We did around a 65 to 70 mile round trip, my glasses got sprayed about a half dozen times and that was after the wind picked up to a stiff 20 knot west cross wind on the way from Bryson. Never had to run slower than 25 mph just put the nose in when I needed to and let the boat do the work. used about 20 gal. of fuel. The boat is measuring up to be just what I was looking for in versitility, some times it dosent work out the way you expect but looks like this time it has

Penn:
What kind of boat did you get? Sounds like it did that trip well. On the same seas, I was going about 12-13k into that head sea, but I drive a dink.
A day on the water is worth 2 in the bush.....Well, somethin' like that.
Thanks for lettin' us know. The good fishing is just a few weeks away.
I hope...
