Parrot's Description

[reelapeelin]

Parrot6909 and I email ea/other regularly...he described boating the area around Brick post Sandy...I thought it pretty descriptive of what he and all the NJ Guys are faced with...


Thanks, I think she looks nice. Haven't had her out at all. The bay was closed for a while post sandy and they haven't remarked the channels at all. Areas I would fish that were 20' deep are now 8" deep at high tide.
The area by me got hit the hardest on the jersey coast from the barrier island perspective. The town on the otherwise of my bridge has 58 homes that went into the bay, we are talking 3000-6000 sq ft homes. Some are still standing on the bay bottom. 1500 boats are still missing, a dozen or so cars are in the bay by me. Sea tow and boat insurance premiums will be paid in full prior to launching.


To that I replied; Sounds like you're having to relearn the same waters youve known all your life...and he replied;

It will be interesting for sure. The first few trips are going to be slow going until I get my bearings. A buddy got stuck in the channel on a house, he could see the chimney when he looked down, should have been 16' there. Another guy lost his Grady a few weeks ago, hit a vw beetle in the bay. Twin engines went through the rear windows and he got stuck. Sea tow attempted to pull him but transom cracked and she went down.

Steel hulls and jet drives might become popular up there...
