Hey Blue,

I'm not even gonna comment on the fishin' -I'm way too green with envy. Had to cancel a 2nd Salmon/Steelhead trip - Oregon coastal rivers too swollen with rain and they're having big wave surfing competition on the coast.

I like your high top with the soft upper window in the front. Does it hold the water out OK and how is it in the wind? Do you like it and if so, where'd you get it?

Thanks - Scott

Nice job Blue, glad you had the weather with you. Nice going out with a few boats isn't it.

Sounds great!

Quote:
burned 120 +/- gallons of gas, rode over 300 miles on the boat, saw around 29 shooting stars and caught 29 fish between 3 boats and 3 days.
But thats a lot of cash for so little fish!! But the time fishing makes it all perfect!!

But we get 29 fish in a hour here!

Great post and Beautiful fish . In my humble opinon one of the best tasting baked fish there is .Its pretty hard to beat simple white bucktails with trailers. Every year some striper expert invents a super striper lure that cost around $35 bucks but plane old white on white bucktails with 6 inch trailers will catch the same fish a lot cheaper and also puppy drum, cobia and trout...frank

Well Blue, you need to check the sock anyway. *I don't have a v-21 (Dawg) but normally the fill and vent are at the front and the pickup is at the rear of the tank.

Anyhoo, I have no idea where you'd get that sock filter replaced, or why you'd want to. *That became the job of the Racor when it was installed.

Oh, and great trip again. ;D *And yes, I'm jealous too.

Airslot ;)
