I've lurked a few times and decided to just join in. fishinfool101380 (Craig) refered me a while ago, but I've been lazy or busy. Love to fish and hunt. After a good kill, it's beer and BBQ time! I got a small boat, but it's a tough S.O.B.! Most guys would think I'm nuts for taking a 17' boat out to the places I do (or will) but I'm confident in it (not so much me). Lookin forward to being a regular.
Awesome welcome aboard, fishnfool is a cool guy. you sound like most of us on here, i have an 17 cc and we go 100+ out so dont feel to bad, crazy gets it done!
Welcome to the party, bunch of fishing maniacs on here so you will fit right in
Sweet!! I feel at home already. If anybody is interested, I want to make a run to SCI this year, and possibly soon, but I would prefer to make that run with another boat. My furthest out so far was to the 209. Pretty snotty conditions too! All we got to show for it was a pup mako. Anyway, If you (Mikey) run a 17 CC 100+ you got some Kahoneez! However, I know boat design helps alot. I wouldn't do that on just any boat.
BTW, does my signing up here get me a set of complimentary PSI Lures?
You would think he has kahoneez which is true. But the boat is built for that bud. I've been in some snotty weather with Mikey and no problems at all. Even in the thickest of fog!!
10-4 on that! I'm working on getting my radar mounted just for that reason too. That fog will roll in quick on you.
maybe on the PSI lures
yes boats built correctly and for reason can do anything
Mikey, just curious what kind of boat that is? Mine is a 17' Arima sea ranger. It's a tough little boat designed for the crap conditions of the puget sound. It's not exactly pretty, and can be a rough ride, but it will take just about anything you can put it through.
ha we used to have a 1969 dorsett 19ft... it ran like ass and oh yeah, it did not have reverse! imagine loading that thing on the trailer... you have one shot! welcome aboard. looking forward to some good stories. yeah we are planning on going to sci or sbi very soon, so we will keep in touch.
