Aaargh, mateys.....:-) LOCAL TUG CAPTAIN AND MARINA OPERATOR ARE NEW OWNERS OF TOWBOATU.S. VIRGINIA BEACH snipped Good info, thanks! I just checked and realized that without the aft jump seats, the 18' Key West actually has 8 rod holders *plus* storage for 4 more. Now, what would be a good glue to get me up to at least 12 rod holders? I ask 'cause I'm thinking of taking up 'drift fishing' with 12 lines out at once. You laugh about that, but I've seen similar. Just last week, I was watching a 19/20 footer in Charleston Harbor with what must have been 8 poles drifting for specs. And you see it all the time on Lake Moultrie/Marion/Santee River complex. Even for stripers in Lake Murray. Great Lakes types use multiple rods drifting - up to ten at a time. However, in your case, I'd cut out that transom on that new boat. That way you can wash the deck by backing down. I like it. When you say 'specs', to what fish are you referring, trout or speckled perch? Whoops - speckled trout. |
