  8. Reds in the suds ........

    in Boating and Fishing Discussion

    Posted

    The last 2 days been back in the suds - with my buddy David C.

    On Wed. afternoon get a call from David while in Tex's Tackle, asking me if I want to go for a boat ride & check out his new Garmin GPS/Sonar .

    Rush home to change & grab a rod or two just in case .........

    Cast netted some turbo Pogeys head to the spot -

    Less then 5 minutes of anchoring up we both have caught & released 2 over slot Reds each -

    then the bite stops ........

    Back to the boat to fine turn the Garmin .......

    On Thurs. afternoon get a call from David while at Home Depot asking me if I want to go for a boat ride - DeJa Vu - all over again .

    Rush home to change & grab 3 rod this time, good thing because he forgot his big stick .

    Cast netted some smaller Pogeys head to the spot & it's on again -

    First cast 33" Red for me - I'm happy but the conditions are getting ugly .....

    David continues to cast further then me with my rod & hooks up every time -

    This is not good, so I load the Abu up throw into the wind & get the mother of all backlashes -

    Game over for me, but not for David - all I could do was watch him catch Reds on almost every cast with my back up rod .

    Back at the boat, I'm pulling up the anchor, he's gloating & saying stuff " like nice balanced rod..... you should get one ..... "

    I could do nothing but smile, while plotting my revenge, with my head down I spot about a 40# Cobia swimming between us & the bank .........

    Slip the anchor back over & tried to get him to take a boat ride with us, with everything he had -

    Live Pogeys, cut Pogeys, free lined Pogeys, bottom rigged Pogeys & white bucktails - but sadly we never saw him again .

    On the way back to the dock we see a partial floating 15' Sailboat with 2 boats & a group of people bailing her out .

    We stop to help with the bailing, end up towing the Sailboat & her owner to a friends dock .

    Thanks to all that had the good sense to aide a person in distress ............ ICM

    Sorry - No picture from our super secret spot ........

    Nice report ICM

  16. Best Bay Boat/near (10-20 Mi) Shore Boat

    in Boating and Fishing Discussion

    Posted

    I know, there's no such thing as a perfect boat, but how about one that combines a bay boat's skinny water ability with one that handles a 2 to 3 foot chop to get to the islands 10 to 20 miles offshore. Of yeah, in the 19 to 24 foot range. How about it--- ideas??

    dman, I have a 2006 Triton 24' LTS with a 225 Suzuki for sale. 180hrs, like new. It handles 2-3' with ease and drafts shallow. Contact me at: triton24in2006@hotmail.com if you are interested in pics or any other information. It also comes with a 101# thrust Minn Kota trolling motor.

  19. Bilge repair?

    in Boating and Fishing Discussion

    Posted

    It seems like every spring my bilge pump won't work at the switch, but the auto switch activates it fine. I replace the fuse and I'm good to go. I don't know if it has something to do with water in the bilge freezing, the pump trying to work and then kicking a fuse?

    My thoughts exactly. I feel like the pump tried to work but kicked the fuse and it was right around a cold snap, like 16 degree nights.
