did it occur to anyone, the irony of the "jewfish" re to "goliath"...
in order to offset any possible insult or ethnic slur....they renamed jewfish to goliath...a huge Philistine who murdered jews.........
I hadn't picked up on that, but it does have a ring of irony to it, doesn't it?
-
Yeah, man-it looked pretty hairy. I'm not sure, but I think the boat on the rocks may have been the Incentive. I could be wrong-I'm going by the look of the wings painted on the bow.

That's a tough call from the pictures--I can see traits of both Goliath and Warsaw in that fish. I'll be interested to see how it comes out.

She should have paid more attention to whether the weinermobile was coming or going!

Bill- I always open a thread if I see your name on it, because I know I'm in for some great pics, and as usual, you do not disappoint!
-
AWESOME!!! You better get him your inf ASAP so this opportunity doesn't pass you by! You may want to go ahead and send your SS#, too, just to save time!

Nice MFin ride!!!
Do I see a "Daaaaadddd.....can I borrow the caaaarrrr?" in your future??
Steve---NICE RIDE!
-
Robbie- sounds great to me! I have your number-I'll give you a call if I can sneak away during that timeframe.

. Is there a way to rig up AC on a Pursuit 2870 or a Grady Sailfish 282? Someone said use a Honda Generator and one of those suitcase size room AC units from Home Depot.

an area the baby can take a nap.
I'd go WA too....even with my 12 year old, she likes having the cabin when she gets bored.....gotta have a quiet place to play DS, right?

I've only put a whopping lifetime total of 3 Cobia in the boat, and 2 of those were spearfishing, so I'm far from an expert....all I can say is that the one I caught on a rod and reel wasn't the least bit interested in any of the several lures thrown at him, but hit a live pogy dang near the second it hit the water. From that I guess we can surmise that live bait would be among the best choices.

Your ex fishing buddy will forget most of the trips with you. Your kids will never forget.

There it is, right there. Nail on the head. -
Not good news...the search was suspended last night at 8:34 PM

Great, thanks for the advice. I'm not familiar with the electric sanders, so that was really helpful. I'll start looking at random orbitals.
My advice for Random Orbitals: Look at DeWalt. Good quality, adjustable orbit speed, and the dust collector bag pops right off and you can hook your shop-vac hose right to it.
Look at the post above this one, though- he's absolutely spot-on that you want to remove as much as you possibly can without sanding--the object is to attempt to completely avoid violating the factory surfaces (gel coat, glass) if possible.

For those that don't look at THT much anymore, I copied this post from the Carolinas forum there:
The Coast Guard is still searching for a fisherman who departed Anchorage Marina yesterday morning enroute Big Rock. His boat was found this morning off the beach at Camp Lejune ..... the motors were will running on his 28' boat. He was fishing alone and fishes regular out of Anchorage. The weather last night was a bit snooty. I didn't get his name but he is 67 years old and from Statesville. His girlfriend called the Coast Guard when he didn't return last night. Not looking good.
Fishing poles were in the rod holders but the lines were cut.
And a subsequent post with additional info:
A missing man's boat has been found, but there is no sign of him.The U.S. Coast Guard has been searching for the overdue boater off the coast of Atlantic Beach.
http://cas.clickability.com/cac?a=276302&a...1957&c=6500
67-year-old Michael Dodick was supposed to return at 4:00 p.m. Thursday after a day of dolphin fishing some 40 miles off the coast.
His girlfriend told authorities the Statesville man left around 5:30 a.m. in a 28-foot Grady White boat from Anchorage Marina.
The Coast Guard tells WITN News that the boat washed up on the beach at Camp Lejeune this morning, with it's engines running.
There is no sign of Dodick and rescue crews are now searching for him in nearby waters.
The boat, "Slow and Easy" was found with all it's fishing lines broken.
Coast Guard crews had been searching for the boat throughout the night aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Block Island, 47-foot rescue boats from Station Fort Macon, and an HC-130J Hercules airplane and MH-60J Jayhawk helicopter from Air Station Elizabeth City.
A Pedro helicopter rescue crew from Cherry Point and military police at Camp Lejeune are also searching.
"Since finding the boat the case has shifted to searching for a person in the water," said Lt. j.g. Scott Hembrook. "The Coast Guard is deploying all available assets and coordinating with the Marines for the search.

Well this is encouraging to hear that what I'm trying to do is at least possible. I'm ok with taking my time and wearing protection for the sanding. For sanding this intensive, I was thinking about a rotary or random orbital sander. Any opinions on this?
Random orbital all the way....rotary will gouge and leave swirls. I would suggest that you decide what grit you think you need for the job, and then get the next finer grit. It's better to go through more sanding discs than it is to remove material you didn't want to remove! Also be very careful (or hand sand) at corners/edges.....material comes off much faster there than it does on the large flat areas.

Bloody decks with the flying fish............Way cool .
Did the AJ hit a Flying Fish ?
No- the AJ hit an Ilander w/ Ballyhoo. That was a first for me-never had an AJ hit a trolled bait of any kind before. The bloody decks was from the false albacore....wow those things bleed!

Most bottom paints (at least the ablative type) are very soft and are only good while they are in the water. Once they are out of the water long enough to get a little chalky, they aren't any good and serve no purpose anyway.
To address your question, if you paint over it, pretty much anything will peel--it needs to be removed as thoroughly as possible. I would start with a high pressure steam cleaner (hot water), which should remove most of it if it's old enough, then sand it (without going through the gelcoat if possible) and wipe down thoroughly with Naptha, wiping in one direction and changing rags often.
Following the cleaning process, I would suggest priming, followed by wet-sanding and another naptha wipe-down prior to painting, and for painting, the tip you got about using Petit is a good one.

Good shot Rich!
Thanks! That was a small fish (for perspective, that's a mini-islander), but my wife took what I thought was a great pic and I cleaned up the colors a bit on Microsoft Digital Image Suite.

Here's some more info that I wrote about our trip on another thread:
Also had some great fishing. Friday morning was a little bumpy (3-4's), but it calmed down to 2's later in the day and Saturday was just plain beautiful! flat, calm water, cooler temps, and the fish were cooperating both days. I got a good chance to test out Tim W's flying fish lures, too. I was running my spread with 3 islanders (blue/white) and two flying fish lures (blue/white and pink/white). The hookups were pretty evenly distributed across the spread. (9 Dolphin on Islanders and 6 on flying fish lures) and I DON'T have to rig Ballyhoo on the flying fish! YEAH! -
Looks great, Stephen.....as was mentioned, it looks like a new boat.....only better!
-
Great catch! Is that a cobia in the spread? And you're right, the crew on the O2 are good people!
Naw-it's an AJ.....they're good eating in the gulf (Texas) so I kept him to see for myself if they have as many parasites as people say in the Atlantic.....they do. The Pelicans ate good on Friday!
-
How was the trip back across on Sunday? Looked pretty flat from the ferry.............
The ferry lied.....it was 2' plus and stacked up......slow ride.

Nice pics, Capt. Rick! What aquarium was that?
Here's one of my fish pics from this weekend:
