That illustrates rather nicely why West Coast designed boats are far
more seaworthy than those the East Coast wussies use on their local
waters. Takes a real man to navigate the West Coast.

Yup, that ol' well designed 2252 handled such inlets with ease. But
then, of coarse, it was designed for and on those waters. I know
Bayliners are very popular as fishing platforms by the guides in Alaska
and was a bit disappointed we didn't see a few of them running that
inlet. Perhaps their runs were not just dramatic enough. Oh well, at
least them eastern dudes can don their commodore caps and navigate the
mighty waters the Chesapeake and Floriduh...on weekends.

espiecally that coastie running around in the background in that
double ender.

damn thats fun to watch.

Did you notice that it looked like some of the boats were heading out to
sea, and the coastie turned them around? One boat "surfed" into the bay
on a wave. It looked like he was out of control, and God was the only
thing between him and Davey Jones Locker.

speaking as some one who actually lives on a coast line, unlike
certain others, im more than familiar with what it takes to run an
inlet like that.


Snipper's never run an inlet anything like that, and neither has anyone
else in a 22' Bayliner.
Bayliners are a great boat for the proper conditions. I would not
recommend any of the "family boats" for conditions like that.

out freakin' standing, bill - amazing movie.

thanks for posting that.

A comment from a guy I know who used to fish out of Depoe bay regarding the
video.

"FWIW, most of that video is 3 - 5 years old. If you're talking about the
"Prime Time" out of Depoe, it's a 43 ft Delta. At one time there were 6 or 7
43 Deltas there.....the preferred boat for that harbor.

What most of the video doesn't show very well is that....there is an 'S'
turn in the hole. So it is critical to avoid getting picked up by a big
swell when going through the turn, as short as it is.

There is a saying up here...

"There are two kinds of skippers in Depoe Bay. Those who have hit the rocks,
and those who will hit the rocks."
"

The inlet is not always that bad. You pick your days. Guy I fish with at

22' boat (Marlin I think).

i thought that bayliner almost crashing was pretty funny.

bayliner - get a real boat.

I think the one boat had to restart his motor. And luckily he did. Amazing
is how the CG boat took those swells.

Well, the Conch House is about two miles inside that inlet, on Salt Run.
Mind the markers.

Actually, it is a pleasant run down the ICW from Jax to St. Augustine, or
vice versa. Beautiful marsh scenery for the most part, lots of flora and
fauna, an easy run.

We stayed one night at the marina at the Conch House Restaurant (and enjoyed
a great dinner there). The only problem is that it was a miserable, cloudy
and foggy day. The channel into the marina is well marked, but weaves
around a bit as I recall.

I remember that night well because my brother and I finally found the answer
to the mysterious "snap, crackle pop" sounds I was hearing down in the
engine compartment. The sounds had been slowly getting louder every day
since around Norfolk. We discovered that most of the other boats at the
marina were also cracking and popping if you put your ear to the hull. A
local at the restaurant finally explained the mystery - it is biological
noises - shrimp and other small creatures snacking on whatever was on the
hulls.

That illustrates rather nicely why West Coast designed boats are far
more seaworthy than those the East Coast wussies use on their local
waters. Takes a real man to navigate the West Coast.

Sure you can run a 13' whaler or whatever in/out of Manasquan, but that

Any inlet can be bad on an outgoing tide when the wind is blowing onshore.
