Would you strap her on the back of that crotch rocket and go racing?
Just something to think about,
Yall need to get your people straight. I am the one with the sport bike. I have no daughter. I have no wally world orange life jacket. C’mon guys lets get it straight(er)

In all seriousness guys. I am heeding your warnings. I am just having a little fun with it. I will venture back out to the Sixty when the heavenly bodies re-align to provide me that thrilling opportunity to take my baby boat. Thanks to Phin for an offer to fish off of another, much larger boat at some point. As for next weekend, weather permitting, I will be at the humps trying to put a few more bsb in the freezer.

No disrespect intended, but what makes you assume I am not an adult? I am going on 24 and have been fishing these waters since I was in diapers. My boat has a compass, gps, flares, radio, lifejackets, etc. I never go alone first of all. I have gathered plenty of experience from my father since he and I have been fishing together since I was like, I don’t know, 4 or 5 years old?? I always let someone know where I am going and when i plan to return. I know the water is cold and hypothermia will set in if I went overboard. That is why I NEVER go fishing alone. Even in the summer, something could happen and no one would know about it.
I figured you were a kid because you said “The only way you will ever get any good experience is by going” and “Anyways, don’t give up all your fishing hopes because some dude on a computer wants to cut you down”
Though I am not one to criticize screen names, your’s is “Fishboy”…hence, the grown up response.
…and I am not trying to cut anyone down. Even if this guy is an alias, I think it sets a bad example for others who come on these sites to get validation.
You are right about experience, but I disagree with how you suggest in attaining it.
We all take a risk out there… my issue is that inexperienced people getting bad info are taking a bigger risk than they realize.
This is not a chawade…
We need total concentwation…
Dear Duckcommander…While racing a motorcycle on “dry land” Im sure is quite dangerous…you have the opportunity to stop when you want to…the ocean is a lot different…and a lot less forgiving… Being a experienced boater as you say you are… Im sure you realize this… . We should feel blessed to be able to use it…but AlWAYS respect it…the fellows on here may shoot the bull a lot…but when it comes to things like this…they have much wisdom…and many of them are the same ones I have seen volunteer to search for the “less fortunate” who were at the oceans mercy… I am not saying this to be sarcastic…just my thought on the matter. I have lost two “seasoned” family members in the past through no fault of their own…it can happen to anyone…dont want it to happen to you…
P.S…cracker will you take me fishn’ this summer:wink:

Ms. Penn, thanks for your concern. Good point on the inescapable sea v. getting off of the bike. Thank you all for your concerns. I really am more weary about going out that distance now. However, there will be other opportunities to get out there and I plan on going again. Most likely next time w/ a fleet. I know that the seas as they were was as good as it gets, but sometimes we get those days.
BTW, if we are on the subject of unnecessary risks I will plug this… stop smoking or you could die of lung cancer, mouth cancer, bladder cancer, emphysema, and are guaranteed to get stained teeth, yellow fingers, and ashtray mouth. Stop drinking or you may die of liver cancer, cirrhosis, a car accident, or you may just kill another boater, driver, motorcyclist, or pedestrian. Just sayin’. I am concerned about all of us.

If that is the case, Rock On Dude. You picked your day well, caught some fish for supper, gave your manhood a gut-check, and made it home safe. Cudos
Thanks. I only allow consenting adults to join me in the risks I partake. However, my labrador does occasionally accompany me in my endeavors, he is a bigger risk taker than me. I hope I don’t have any kids, I am only 22 and still in school.

Racing motorcycles seems risky, but the best example of your poor decision making skills was your choice to become a Bulldog. Go Gators.

Don’t forget who sacked your beloved Tebow 6 times… And again who lost their bowl game screwing it up for the SEC bowl record? Watch out for the Bulldawg nation coming to run you over again in Gainsville next year. Eat it gator.

DC Are you an AMA, NESBA, or some other club rider? Me and some buddies are going to Laguna Seca in April for a Skip Barber riding school and have a few openings. We are all in our 40’s and still trying to learn. We usually run Kershaw and Road Atlanta if you ever want to show a few old farts how to ride you’re welcome to come. Or you may find that you still have much to learn…
Racing motorcycles on a track is way less dangerous than being 25mi out in the Atlantic in a 18’ in Feb. Just .02 from someone who has done both.
I will briefly weigh in on this one. The following is based upon a couple of duck hunts in which duckcommander has accompanied myself. He is a smart, level-headed individual, who has common sense in ample supply. As to his propensity for making rash/risky decisions, he does not engage in any such behavior. In an effort to dispel any notion that he partakes in such behavior, I present this example: On one particular duck hunt, actually it was the same day I met first him, we were readying my boat at about 4:00 am to make our way deep into the swamp, when I noticed a fuel line problem. After about an hour of messing with it we thought we may have had the problem solved. It was Duckcommander who suggested that we hang out at the ramp and try run the motor for a while before heading into a remote area, where cell phones are out of the question, water temp is well below 40 and seatow has no chance in he11 at getting you out.
That said he does drive a lime green honda with a HUGE spoiler on the back:smiley:.

HAHAHAHA. Gotta love my green buzz bomb. It pulls my boat like a champ! That spoiler I got off of a top fuel dragster helps prevent fishtailing when I pull at 112 mph. Not. Just to dispell any future myths. I only drive American, a Chevy, even my sportbike is American.
Thanks Shadowgrass, looking forward to wearing out the bsb or sheeps this weekend. Whatever the weather permits.

a couple of shots of my 07 R6 from my last trip to VIR. I’ve got to learn to get lower in the corners. Any advice? Do you really race motorcycles? Street rider? Or just think it’s cool?

You guys are funny and i really enjoy you bashing the adventure seeker and each other for that matter. couldn’t help myself as i have one point to make. GPS /chart plotters-- greatest devise since sliced bread but my experience has shown me that if it needs power it will fail… Map/chart protractor and parallel rule are one of the most important things to have on a bote offshore. Thats why the cpts test still covers a practical test on how to do this. The training and test has nothing do do with how to push the buttons on a chart plotter. So learn how to chart a course from a chart in the dark and the most common mistake on the water will be avoided (getting lost cause your electronics failed) Before you jump on me , my experience comes from 20 yrs as a special forces diver and water operations expert. I’ve jumped out of a plane chasing a 15ft rubber bote w/ 4horse motor into the sea 30miles out and with little chart flashlight and pencil handheld compass found the unfriendly shore we were seeking. My brother and i fished hundresd of times off the windaward side of hawai in a 21ft single engine seaswirl 50-60miles out in 12-14 ft seas. No chart plotter or GPS. All your advice is great but i hardly think you really give a crap about this young fella , just like busting his balls cause he was out fishing and you were looking at your computer. Have fun all
