Well, maybe not thousands but enough.

Perfectly fine, but Harry is a pansy.

inlet. It was my fault, but bit I got.- Hide quoted text -

How's your new boat, John? Have you splashed it yet? How fast can you

When you stop fast from a plane, how much water slops over into the

that heavy engine? What are you naming it? Where are you going to keep
it, assuming you are going to keep it on a trailer? When will you be
leaving the area for North Carolina? Or was it South Carolina?

Here's yet another of the many daily attacks from "Harry Krause",
a frequent rec.boats poster, and if you count them up, you will see how
little he adds here in boating/fishing content or interesting reading.

ROTF!

I lost a quarter of an inch of my left thumb to a bluefish. I kid you
not. Had I not duct-taped it back on, I would have lost my thumb tip for
sure.- Hide quoted text -

You should have used vicegrips to close the wound, then you could beat
the monster bluefish (laughing so frekin' hard right now) about the
head.. Bring him home, and pin him up against he frekin' wall with
your pickup truck, (dejablue) frekin' bluefish... sheesh. You sound
like my kid when I told her to lip the big brown trout;)

I've said that before. Anything to keep you on a sociable level has to be
good. Do you get more pleasure from attacks and derogatory comments than
you do talking about your mom or your boat?

Try answering the question instead of snipping!


Hard to believe a person who had a carreer in the military leading men and
even worse...supposedly showing leadership to impressionable students as
their teacher,
would use someone's mother as a lever or control tool against them.
No wonder the world is 'going to hell in a hand basket'.


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

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.

Yeah, I hear our boy Tom stares down Great Whites, too. Is he that
fearsome looking? :}

Damn straight.

I strike fear into everything and everybody.

Mostly it's because I'm an uncoordinated putz, but still...

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.
