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.

70 miles on 20 gallons of fuel is awesome. Do you have a 4-stroke?

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.

Ats Nice.
A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush?? I guess it depends on the bird.
