Hello all. I met Franco at the car wash and he had a V20 shirt on and he invited me here.

I was washing my 1985 V-20 cc and he was washing his new boat and told me about the site. I did not know it existed, but I am excited about it and will seek and post info here. Here is my boat that I have owned for about 18 months and a couple fish caught off it.

Good job Franco, get all them V20 ers you can find brother. Steelheader great looking rig, but you did not get that moniker down in sunny Fla. did you ;D

Re: New member here.
 

Are those fish? or skin conditions, I think my uncle had a bad case of scup on his elbow.

Re: New member here.
 

Great rig! Looks like you got her rigged right, nice job!

Re: New member here.
 

Yeah, I just stepped in a pile of fresh dog FLUKE this morning... ::)...

And welcome to the board, Steelhead...you went right to the top hookin' up w/the Grand Poobah at the Car Wash...and some nice lookin' Mahi!!...Looks like you gonna have plenty of youngsters to take you fishin' in your old age!!... ;) ;D ;D...

I brought my screen name from Alaska, I spent 16 years there. Anchorage-13 yrs. and Juneau-3 yrs. I really enjoyed the fishing there.

My boat has outriggers and a downrigger (which is deadly on mahi's), but sshhhhh, keep it on this forum. Let all those other guys fish the surface only. We like to slow troll live baits if we are in a real fishy area. A bait 30-50 feet down picks up a lot of fish. We also have a couple on the outriggers and a couple flat lines. Yes, we are busy. But it works. The 25 HP kicker is a real fuel saver and we can slow troll all day on 3 gallons of fuel. Not to mention the safety to putt back in if needed.

Other days we will drag dead skirted ballyhoos (Love the Billy Baits for this).

My goal is to nail some wahoo this summer, have not been able to catch one yet.

Put a new Foruno 600L color FF on board and the boat came with a non working Garmin GPS Map 162 which we sent back to Garmin with $99 and got a brand new or extremely new condition refurbished one.

We also have a kite set up for sails when we will drag her to Palm Beach or Jupiter.

Thanks for all the welcomes and, look forward to meeting some of you in the future.

Franco, I will shoot you a message soon. Thanks for the offer to help.

Capt please enlarge that avitar for us old guys please, and if you can slow her down a notch would be a fine thing to see ;D

Re: New member here.
 

Aw Willy, you old phart...what'd you do w/one of those if you caught it?...remember it takes stamina to keep up w/one like that...it'd probably KILL me, too...but whadda way to GO!!... ;D :-* ;D :-*...

Re: New member here.
 

Probably gonna need the big motor for the wahoos. I think they like thier bait like I like my women fast ;D

Nice pix!

P.S. Isn't that a pic of Franco holdin that mahi? ???

Re: New member here.
 

BR, I like my women like I like my fishin' rods...BENT OVER AND SCREAMIN'!!! ;D ;D ;D...

Re: New member here.
 

Oh Oz don't worry brother, all is as it should be in that department ;) fast slow young old if they tickle my fancy I'll make their day, a couple of times.
I just wanted that avitar slower and larger so I can give it a thorough inspection, 51 year old eyes you know 8)
