M127 Icom VHF old school. Usually its salt intrusion because you V-20 owners think you can steam thru them four footers or more. But I found a high dollar VHF antenna mounted as high as possible will get very good reception. Thanks for the radio check!!!!!!

A friend and I fished the area around FG and had good sea bass action as well. Wound up with 7 keepers. Drop and reel fishing. Beautiful morning out there. Left them biting around noon. Bay was way worse than the ocean on the way in.

Got a high end antenna believe it's called a Digital, but radio output not as good as yours........or maybe your output good but doesn't receive as well ? Ha ha....

Weather was so nice Saturday we stayed out overnight at Shark River Reef. First time for that. Could have prepared a little better. Fishing wasn't so hot. Got 15 ling (red hake) and 5 keeper seabass. Livelined a ling on an 8/0 hoping for a tuna but just got dogfish bites. Caught a dozen or more silver eels. No cod,no pollock.

Set out at first light for the Glory Hole, trolled for tuna without any luck. Water temp 57.8

Skunk - did you do all that fishing on a V boat ?

[SkunkBoat]

yes, first time overnight on the skunkboat...not very comfortable.

I heard the same, even some eye ball's too. Maybe look up your friend with the Edgewater out of Barnegat and bust on out their!

I keep a blanket and a few pillows in the cuddy for " just in case" I want to take a nap or overnight. The cuddy's actually not bad when set up this way....with the covers for the storage, it's comfortable enough.

Then again......my V21 cuddy features a full bed, AC, refrig / freezer, microwave, flat screen tv, head, sink with 25 gallon fresh, and shower. All you have to do is engineer the space properly.
