Here's yet another of the many daily attacks from "Harry Krause",

No wonder the world is 'going to hell in a hand basket'.


How was your mother being used 'against' you? Is keeping the conversation

The new boat won't be here for another 4-6 weeks, as you've read in an
earlier post.

I'll be able to run it about as fast as the Proline or your Parker without
any problem. Spray over the sides will be less than either the Proline or
the Parker. The engine weighs only 62 lbs more than the 115hp, which is
about the weight of a couple decent stripers, and the transom is complete,
so I'm not worried about water coming into the boat. I'll probably keep it
in my driveway, but may put it in Breezy. Haven't decided yet. It's so easy
to trailer that I'm not too worried about just keeping it here and
trailering where ever I want to go. Haven't given much thought to the name
yet, but Poco Loco Too may work. Any ideas?

When we move, it will probably be to NC. Not sure when, but probably next
spring. I'll keep you posted.


Thanks for the update.

I would guess your new boat would be about 7-8 mph faster than mine at
WOT, but what I was asking you was how fast it would run (comfortably)
in our usual short chop here. I doubt you will be able to maintain even
the speed I can maintain in such conditions, since your new boat weighs
a lot less, has less deadrise, and has less length. But you are welcome
to think what you will.

Two of my Sea Pros had transoms similar to what is on your boat. I can
assure you, you will see water coming in over the transom and in rough
enough conditions, pouring out over the motor well and onto the deck.

I favor reusing boat names.

Mike at BP is contemplating having a TV service mount a professional
camera and weather instruments on the roof of his main building. If he
does, you'll be able to see water conditions from your house.

Just a nice semi-overcast day on the Bay. Caught about 15 spot on
Berkley bloodworms and very small hooks, dumped them into the
livewell, and went in search of big fish via livelining. Caught a
few blues, one decent sized striper, but he escaped. Neighbor who
accompanied me caught a keeper striper. May try again tomorrow if
the forecasted wind doesn't materialize. Didn't see Herring out
there.

I understand keeping live bait alive in a livewell. I also
understand keeping fish alive in one when tournament fishing.

With that understanding........what is the purpose of keeping fish
intended to be on the dinner table in one knowing you eventually have
to put them on ice during the trip from the boat to home (knowing
they will die along the way)? I have no problem keeping my catch
fresh on ice in the cooler throughout a day of fishing.

Lastly....how do you start up and then shut down a livewell after a
day of fishing?

I never had a livewell so excuse the questions.

I don't know of any reason to keep those fish you intend to eat at the
end of a day's trip in the livewell.

Because 1/2 a day equals 12 hours. If you're out fishing that long and
bluefish are the reward, you keep them half a day fresher. Ice is fine,
but live is better. Your mileage may vary. Matter of fact, it WILL
vary.



1/2 day does not equal 12 hours when fishing. 1/2 day boats in San
Diego do about 6 hours and the 3/4 day boats that go to the Coronados in
MX leave at 6am and return at about 6 pm.


When I say 1/2 day, it means 12 hours. I don't care what a bunch of
California pansies use as the definition.


When you go for a day fishing, do you spend 24 hours out in the lake?


Yes.

No attacks from me, Herring. Just pointing out yours. Lately virtually
everything you post is a cheap shot at someone else. Count 'em up. Start
with today...so far, I believe everything you have posted but for one is
a snark remark.
Harry, your cute little idea is nothing more than a front for more attack
posts.

Nope. I am simply pointing out that the majority of your posts are
nothing more than snark attacks.

Count 'em up the last two weeks. Dozens and dozens and dozens of little
bites from you almost anytime someone you don't like posts.

And you could easily say the same for yourself, Harry.

I would guess your new boat would be about 7-8 mph faster than mine at
WOT, but what I was asking you was how fast it would run (comfortably)
in our usual short chop here. I doubt you will be able to maintain
even the speed I can maintain in such conditions, since your new boat
weighs a lot less, has less deadrise, and has less length. But you are
welcome to think what you will.

It sounds like you have a much better boat than JohnH, no doubt about it.


Does it really, Reggie? Is that what you think, based upon your many
years of experience with dozens of different boats? To me, it just means
two different sizes and styles of boats, with substantially different
methods of construction.

But you are welcome to think what you will.

Two of my Sea Pros had transoms similar to what is on your boat. I
can assure you, you will see water coming in over the transom and in
rough enough conditions, pouring out over the motor well and onto
the deck.

Well, much of that is due to operator error. I try not to let the

JohnH,

There are quite a few inlets in the bay, but very, very few are
"interesting" in terms of presenting rough water, strong currents,
offshore winds, signficant tides, et cetera.

Now you know. Got any such "interesting" inlets on that unnamed lake
where you boat?

Rain and thunder kept me in, but that's OK.... it gave me time to

Do you really fish for Herring?


Great sport fishing for herring. American Shad are the largest of the
herring and one of the great sport fish.
Unfortunately, the herring fishery around here has pretty much been
destroyed by factory-style boats that overcatch the species
for...fertilizer, I believe.

They fish the herring for the roe and the rest goes to cat food and
fertilizer.




Yes, I read an article not long ago about the demise of that species in
this area, and I recall those uses being mentioned. Well, at least the
cat food and fertilizer part.

Down in SC, you can't get rid of the damned things in the lakes.

Herring not shad. At least no American Shad.

I understand keeping live bait alive in a livewell. I also
understand keeping fish alive in one when tournament fishing.

With that understanding........what is the purpose of keeping fish
intended to be on the dinner table in one knowing you eventually
have
to put them on ice during the trip from the boat to home (knowing
they
will die along the way)? I have no problem keeping my catch fresh
on
ice in the cooler throughout a day of fishing.

Lastly....how do you start up and then shut down a livewell after a
day of fishing?

I never had a livewell so excuse the questions.

I don't know of any reason to keep those fish you intend to eat at
the
end of a day's trip in the livewell.

Because 1/2 a day equals 12 hours. If you're out fishing that long and
bluefish are the reward, you keep them half a day fresher. Ice is
fine,
but live is better. Your mileage may vary. Matter of fact, it WILL v

1/2 day does not equal 12 hours when fishing. 1/2 day boats in San
Diego
do about 6 hours and the 3/4 day boats that go to the Coronados in MX
leave at 6am and return at about 6 pm.

When I say 1/2 day, it means 12 hours. I don't care what a bunch of
California pansies use as the definition.

When you go for a day fishing, do you spend 24 hours out in the lake?

Oddly enough, I have done it.

So have I but, is known as an overnight boat or trip.

Tylers has no clear view of the Bay. Do they dispatch someone over to

They can walk up to the flag and get a great view. Or, they can just look

their info from folks who've actually been on the water that day and just
pass it on. Try 'em, you just might like 'em.


I shop sometimes at Tylers. I used to buy minnows there before I got my
minnow traps set up. Also, if you need a fishing rod repaired, Tylers
has someone who picks them up and returns them fixed in under two weeks.
Or at least they did that for me.

Absolutely! Hell, I went the cheap route - no $38000 boat for me!

That Parker also has a little over twice the weight and the same engine.
That in itself makes it a much better boat. As I'm not into high speeds any
time while in the bay, I don't know how fast this little bugger will go.
But, I'm sure Harry's will outperform it in every way.

Sometimes you just have to know when you are outclassed in every way.
You will never be a legend.

JohnH,
I am not familiar with Deale or the part of CB you boat, do you have
many inlets up that way? ;)

The area around the bay is, for the most part, very flat. So, we don't have
the inlets which may be found in Maine or an area with hilly terrain. There
are several rivers which dump into the bay that are within an hour or two
of Deale, but the mouths of these cause nary a ripple in the bay waters.
Most of the rivers are quite shallow, as is most of the bay. By shallow I
mean less than 30'.

Well, I guess you don't have to worry about running any "interesting
inlets" either on the CB or your new inland lake.

the speed I can maintain in such conditions, since your new boat weighs
a lot less, has less deadrise, and has less length. But you are welcome
to think what you will.
It sounds like you have a much better boat than JohnH, no doubt about it.

Absolutely! Hell, I went the cheap route - no $38000 boat for me!

That Parker also has a little over twice the weight and the same engine.
That in itself makes it a much better boat. As I'm not into high speeds any
time while in the bay, I don't know how fast this little bugger will go.
But, I'm sure Harry's will outperform it in every way.


Twice the weight? Your boat, sans engine, weighs less than 1450 pounds?
Really?

My guess is that your new boat will hit between 46 and 49 mph with a
reasonable load, the proper prop and flat water and wind conditions.

You didn't take a demo ride before you bought? I got a ride in a boat
with the same hull as the 2100CC before I bought.

The new boat won't be here for another 4-6 weeks, as you've read in an
earlier post.
I'll be able to run it about as fast as the Proline or your Parker
without
any problem. Spray over the sides will be less than either the
Proline or
the Parker. The engine weighs only 62 lbs more than the 115hp, which is
about the weight of a couple decent stripers, and the transom is
complete,
so I'm not worried about water coming into the boat. I'll probably
keep it
in my driveway, but may put it in Breezy. Haven't decided yet. It's
so easy
to trailer that I'm not too worried about just keeping it here and
trailering where ever I want to go. Haven't given much thought to
the name
yet, but Poco Loco Too may work. Any ideas?

When we move, it will probably be to NC. Not sure when, but probably
next
spring. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for the update.

I would guess your new boat would be about 7-8 mph faster than mine
at WOT, but what I was asking you was how fast it would run
(comfortably) in our usual short chop here. I doubt you will be able
to maintain even the speed I can maintain in such conditions, since
your new boat weighs a lot less, has less deadrise, and has less
length. But you are welcome to think what you will.
Thanks.
Two of my Sea Pros had transoms similar to what is on your boat. I
can assure you, you will see water coming in over the transom and in
rough enough conditions, pouring out over the motor well and onto the
deck.

Well, much of that is due to operator error. I try not to let the boat
get
too full of water.
:} Report back when you have run a few interesting inlets.
JohnH,
I am not familiar with Deale or the part of CB you boat, do you have
many inlets up that way? ;)

The area around the bay is, for the most part, very flat. So, we don't have
the inlets which may be found in Maine or an area with hilly terrain. There
are several rivers which dump into the bay that are within an hour or two
of Deale, but the mouths of these cause nary a ripple in the bay waters.
Most of the rivers are quite shallow, as is most of the bay. By shallow I
mean less than 30'.


I thought you "hung out" at the Pax Naval Rec Center. The Pax River is
what, 70-90' deep? There are substantial parts of the Bay that are 80'
or deeper, though certainly not along the edges, or even a mile or so
out. Amazingly flat bottom.

Does it really, Reggie? Is that what you think, based upon your many
years of experience with dozens of different boats? To me, it just means
two different sizes and styles of boats, with substantially different
methods of construction.

But you are welcome to think what you will.

Harry, what are the substantial differences in the method of construction?


Get a "plug" from the factory that is representative of the bottom and
hullsides of your new boat.

I favor reusing boat names.

Good!
Mike at BP is contemplating having a TV service mount a professional
camera and weather instruments on the roof of his main building. If he
does, you'll be able to see water conditions from your house.

I just call the folks at Tylers. They've always been spot on about the
water conditions off Chesapeake Beach.


Tylers has no clear view of the Bay. Do they dispatch someone over to
the little memorial park to peer over the bushes?

They can walk up to the flag and get a great view. Or, they can just look
at the flag. I've never known them to be wrong. Of course they may get
their info from folks who've actually been on the water that day and just
pass it on. Try 'em, you just might like 'em.

JohnH,
Yes but if you check it out, you will see how terrible your brand new
boat is. Then you will hate your brand new boat for as long as you keep it.

Nope, the sal****er herring. There is a big fishery for herring in SF Bay.

I'm heading out for 5/24ths of a day of fishing. There's a particular spot
on Lake Ontario where unconscious smallmouth have been seen. The NY DEC has
determined that overcrowding is the problem. They recorded a series of odd
coconut sounds underwater. It was the fish's heads colliding. I have to do
something about their numbers.
