We left Remelys around 5 am and headed out in our 23wa proline. Beautiful ride out on a 150 heading. Wife’s first trip. We started trolling in 200 ft of water. We put the lines out
And got a double knock down. Landed one dolphin around 20 lbs. wife can’t drive the boat and kept getting lines crossed up. We had three more knock downs but loss em. Find out you will work your fanny off if you try to drive, rig, and reel. All in all we enjoyed the day on the ocean ended up 58 miles SE of the charleston sea buoy and headed back. When we hit about 120 feet saw a lot of weed patch started to rig up again but the wife was done, so we came in. Wish I had dropped so more lines there after reading these reports . Anyways she got a fish to cook , not bad for a one legged captain and the wife’s first offshore trip.
Don’t be so hard on your wife I had grown men on my boat that could not keep the boat straight. I forgot how much work it is when you are the only one on the boat with any experience.

Amen, took a couple with me last week. Too busy talking to each other, I was Captain, first mate, and they could not keep the boat straight.

The best boat pilot we ever had was an 8 year old! He would run the boat by himself from the fly bridge lot better than his dad and brothers! Dont be so hard on your wife mine would not go off shore for love or money she gets sea sick in the bath tub!
My wife goes out with me everytime, when she drives I get a lot of mean eyeballs from her when I am giving her the back seat driving advice. Sounds like all all you’ll had a good day.

invest in an auto pilot control
Auto pilots are one of the best short handed fishing tolls ever to be made! A lot of them have wireless remotes one can wear around thier neck as well. Have installed quite a few for folks that can’t live without it know on thier boat!
Just allways be sure to maintain a proper lookout while using.
