Scraped the ice off my windshield this morning before launching. Took a while to find them, but had a good day, caught my first gag from my own boat at a spot I found myself without a map or anyone giving me numbers. Limit of bsb, some vermillion, the one day maker gag, some triggers, porgies and endangered ars released per safmc some stout ajs too.
Yup, the wind was about the calmest Iāve seen it and the fuel gauge showed it too. Fastest and most economical day Iāve ever had thanks to flat seas. My speedometer on the boat may not be accurate, but it usually shows around 25 offshore and it was reading 38-39 when running. Didnāt even back down going through the inlet.
Way to go. Iām understanding more and more about the gratification of doing it on your own. Iām thankful that my friends have encouraged me how to fish, rather than just where to fish. And, thatās a pretty gag!
Haha, Iāve got two of them on the boat and one and a half in the garage just in case. At least I can say Iāve never been stranded out there for the two years Iāve been heading out the jetties. Knock on wood. 1.9 mpg last trip too. Before I owned the boat, that pair of two smokes actually went to 380/226 and back a few times. Just making do with what Iāve got one day Iāll have a sweet pair of newfangled four strokes.
