Title: some big boys
Post by: hareball on July 08, 2007, 11:44:35 PM: we had a family day on the boat today. ran out to the LE reef but it had gotten snotty and all but captain mike and I could enjoy it so we headed in and anchored just outside the tuckerton canal and did some crabbing.

just before we left the reef capt mike looks at me and it was like I could read his mind...I looked at the fishfinders and there were sea bass all over the structure. family was ready to mutiny so we headed inside lol :D

on the way out we were running around 30 knots and suddenly I hear a roar off the stern. turned my head to see a really nice fishing boat smashing through the chop, it was amazing! boat left the ocean a few times but when it came back down it looked so smooth. he had to be doing 45 knots.
noticed it was a fleet of big boys so grabbed the camera for a few shots of the next boat in the lineup.

even if you can afford the boat, you have to afford the gas also... lol

the boat in pictures above looked to be one of 5 heading out the inlet. was unable to get the others since they hooked to the south. it was a sight to see though seeing them running hard and looking smooth.

I agree, but if I spend $20 every drawing, even when its low, it will cost me a fortune. I rather wait until its over $100 million, then for those few drawings that it stays over the figure, I throw in twice as much each time.
