Default Splash Down 2007!

Well I made it to the water today!! *NE winds 10 to 15 made it a bit lumpy, but all went well!!

The new power pack I installed last fall was defiantly the problem and the motor went perfect all day!!

Caught some Scup, Blues, Dog fish, Sea Bass Nothing to write home about, But it was a shake down run and we just fooled around a bit!!

Tuesday I will be commercial Fluking if the weather is good?

Here are a few pic from today with my son and friend Pete.

Wow I am happy!! ;D



Anchor Pulpit workeds perfect!!





Son with a Bigun!! LOL



Pete getting a little bigger





Who is this gobber??

Sweet!!!
Son??? No real problem guessing who the father is. Some good lookin' fella I figure.

Spent the day with Janine me helping reassemble the V. It's starting to look like a boat again rather than something that drifted in with the wind and tide.

My Lic. says I am a hook and liner, and the Commercial limt is 14" 200 pounds a day for hook & Line, Dragers get the same 14" and 300 pounds.
