Wouldn't it be great!!!!!!

[Franco]

I know it's just a dream, but wouldn't it be great if all the folks who post here could meet somewhere and have a fishing tournement/get. Mako owners have a big gettogether every year, but I doubt it be as much fun as cracking a few cool ones with all you guys!!!!!

[Stinky_Hooker]

I agree with ya man. That is what a couple of other forums I am on do. I would love to fish aboard somebody's V20 as mine is still a project right now. I have never been IN one in the water come to think of it. ::)

[Franco]

Hey Stinky,
I hear ya man, I still have to get my trailer right, finish the new bow rail, paint the deck. Gonna change out the carb and flush the fuel system. Then a couple of days of sea trials and rigging for fishing. I just moved here and I'm working hard at getting everything set. ( You know, new house, new job, great old boat ) But I'll make ya a deal.
Come on down here to florida next winter and we'll go sailfishing out of Ft.Pierce inlet on my boat. We'll crack a chilly can or two and have a he** of a good time!!!!

A V20 hoe-down has been rumored for the southern coast of NC this summer some time...nothing firm...could you guys make that...? ;) :)

[Franco]

I would seriously consider it, Gotta new job so I would have to work that out there. Would like to see a winter outing here in Florida.

Hey,
I'm looking at being in the Myrtle Beach area with my boat. I could probably talk the wife into going a little further north to have a day on the boat with a bunch of folks. Probably easier than talking her into going south, so to speak! :o We should be there from 25 Jun to 4 Jul.

It would be great if all the souther guys payed for all us nothern guys trip there in the winter!! ;D

[reelapeelin]

MJ...if I hit the lottery...I'll do just that... ;) ;D

[Franco]

Hey MJ,
You do the clam boil and I'll supply you a place to stay!!!

As in a "SAIL fish"...you got a place you can catch those in a v20 down there :o

[macojoe]

Clam Boil is right up my ally!!

Every July I do a huge one!! I took a beer keg and cut the top off and made one huge pot!!

I can put and do!! 50 # (1 bushel ) Clams, 10 to 15 pounds potato, 5 pound Onion, 5 + pounds sausage, 5 + pounds Linguica, 3 +pounds Hot Dogs.

This pots is about 90 pounds when full!! I put it on the turkey burner and off we go!! I even had a spicket welded on the side to let all the clam juice to drain out!!

When done I save the juice and freeze it, then in winter I use it for stock for my chowder!!

You souther guys may have us beat with more months to fish, but you can't hold a candle to are shell fish!! :P

And don't even start with them ****y little blue crabs!!

[Franco]

NEED DIRECTIONS TO THE ALLEY PLEASE

[knightfisher]

Us southerners have low country boils, Big pot throw in some hot sausage, potatos, corn on the cob, shrimp, crabs, crawfish boil it up drain the water dump it out on a large picnic table and go at it. But i sure would like the clam boil sounds good. I would be up to a get together this summer in NC just say when. The little Lady and I will be there. Hey you bring clam boil i will do the low country boil.

[steplift20]

you stole my idea
but it should be done in sandy hook nj
lets go ill lead the pack with my 1978

[knightfisher]

NC about half way from up north and florida.

[Pipe_Dream]

I'm with y'all! We've got the best shrimp and oysters right here in these waters, IMHO. Sounds like the crabs and clams are covered -- all we need are some lobstahs and it's a done deal!

It would be tough to get us all together, what with real jobs and other commitments, but I'm with you, Franco. It might just be a pipe dream (heh heh) but sometimes those things come true!

[Blue_Runner]

Me and a friend or two are going to be down at Myrtle Beach, actually Murrell's Inlet is where we'll be fishing out of... on the 6,7, and 8th of May. Should be killer Spanish Mackeral, bluefish, flounder, spadefish, king mackeral, I could go on ya know? Things should be bustin loose down there "reel" soon. I'll remind you guys later. I sure hope I can get my boat in rehab to get this crack problem behind me (pun intended). As alway, any of you boys that want to come and join us, well, I say the more the merrier! And if you don't make this one, they'll be more! Water temps are approaching 60 degrees right now! Its going to happen folks!

I ordered System 3 epoxy and some Quick Fair today. In 2 weeks the boat should be fixed (fingers are firmly crossed).

Later guys,
Blue
