RWilson,

Great pictures and that's one nice looking V-20 you have. My wife was standing over my shoulder looking and she said,"he is just like you,do all you guys go through that ritual of washing the whole boat down after every time you use it?"

Nice Wilson, wasn't me there on my stomping grounds, been real busy around the house for a couple of weeks. We got a whole bunch of V's down there.
As a matter of fact I don't believe I have ever been out my whole life and not seen at least one. That second boat is a scorpion i believe. He comes out at the Highlands too, seen it several times.
They are saying if you want any consistent big flatties you got to go down to the Shrewsbury Rocks now, which is about a fifteen minute run down once you round the hook. And there are giant Blues there with Bass on the bottom also. Large groups of bunker all over.
Next time you go bring a Sabiki rig and right there at the Highlands hang around for awhile in by the sailboats and catch yourself a bunch of cocktail blues. You can also toss a tiny little fresh water spoon on a ultra light and catch a bunch too. Put them in a live well and use them for bait for the fluke. Wont catch as many flatties but when you get hit you will be able to feed your whole family on one fish. Kids love catching the little blues too.

Just saw your post, we must of posted at the same time. No wager, just looked at it again and I think you are right, we have two Scorpions, one an I/O and one outboard down there regularly and I get them mixed up with the older V's we got around all the time.
So Bob the senior gent from SC is correct.

I dont know willy, dont give up so easy....it looked a little funny around where the windshield meets the gunwhale, something didnt look EXACTLY right....but I will defer to ya'lls expertise.....

And Reel', you can count on me being down there next year...we already have our deposit in on next years house...same week, following 6/19 , further down the island towards the inlet....as long as I dont sink the boat in the next year and gas doesnt go to $6 a gallon I'll have mine there this time!

Assuming Randleman is back from the west coat by then maybe we can even get him to show up...make it a first class V-20 jamboree!!!

That 3rd week in June worked out great for us...might as well aim for it next year as well...If we can get the 3 boats together at same time, that'd be COOL, COOL!!...


...and as far as that second picture being a Scorpion...sounds like to me you'll just have to keep goin' back til ya spot it again to verify...oh the horrors, but SOMEBODY'S gotta do it

RW, I have been trying to link up with REEL for ever with no luck, maybe with you in the mix it will work out.
