This is a fluid story..:hihi:....and is changing minute to minute, but our sources here at S-B News reports that lifelong Surfcaster and all around nice guy, Slingah, is the proud new owner of a boat! Thats right, you heard it correctly......it came across the AP wire just a few minutes ago......Slingah, a lifelong surfcaster has purchased what is reported to be a 14' Skiff toting a 15 hp motor! Purchase was made in Rockland at the home of reputed Kayak fisherman BigBo's residence! Eyewitness BigFish is quoted as stating..."There is no boat, like a friends boat"!:laugha: Tune in to tonights 11:00 news for updated information!:kewl:

welcome to the dark side slingah. congrats

:btu: Another surfcaster drawn to the dark side. :wid:
I suspect that everytime Matt goes to use it, he's going to find you already planted in the skiff waiting to go.:wavey:

geez...can't do anything quietly with you know who around :tm:
I'll still surf fish....just need to broaden my horizons and that was a great deal and perfect boat for my backyard....

You just broadened your fishing horizons exponentially Matt.
Larry doesn't do anything subtlely. Does he? :conf::hee:

:bgi:

Congrats! Very wise and smart decision! use it in good health and enjoy! there is nothing like the freedom and the reach out there factor that a boat provides:D
The big plus...no more access issues!

Oh and remember your just surf fishing from the other angle............

Feel free to pm me your spots now that you wont need them any longer.

My best to you Matt, congratulations, you'll never regret it.

My 39 year old skiff still takes me to more bass than any other means I know of, no crowds, perfect.

Ummm....I will still be using those Adam!:faga:

Ummm....I will still be using those Adam!:faga:

You just make plugs ! Leave the fishing to the rest of us !:hihi:

good for you. Just name it the SS Frank and Lawrence will never set foot in it.

You just make plugs ! Leave the fishing to the rest of us !:hihi:



I take it back you can fish in my spots still ! Boat fish don't really count.

Yeah Matt, but Larry said it was a 14 foot skiff with a 15 hp? I'm not sure if that is strong enough to move the boat with BigFish in the boat ... you may need to get a bigger boat or at least a bigger engine ... :hihi:

But seriously, congratulations, it will open up a whole new category of fishing ... which will require a whole new category of tackle to buy :lama:.

Enjoy it.

Who the F*#@& is the idiot!! 3 fing posts and he's busting b&%$ls.

You haven't been around long enough to have an opinion.

there's plenty of submerged sand bars out there that you can now get to and then get out and stand awhile and then you can be an
offshore fisherman with a boat . :musc:


don't forget to anchor.

Ah, wading those flats at the edge of evening, flickin' a fly at tailing bass.

raven man.... you are too much with the graphics! slingah ----> awesome buy man! im sure you will love it!

:eek5:

*Hey there, reel surffishermen! Didjya hear that?
We lost unuther one to the darkside,
which therefore means more
Big Gurls for us from the shore, now that
there's another BOAT wh--- amung us!!*

Seriously have fun, and enjoy the further reach
just know that ALL those stripers from the opposite angle
will be considered obtuse and acute, kinda like *BF "the ballast" Larry*:bl: :bl: :bl:

Ariel's, in tha House :bl: :bl:!!!

Enjoy Matt.

CONGRATS MATT:btu: I really enjoyed my 1st season with my skiff last year. I still went out surfcasting though when conditions were a little rough for the skiff. We have a ton of options in our area to launch. Good luck with it and I hope to see you out there!:wave:

Congrats on the Boat.....But watch out for Larry and his 4 oz. hopkins....you know how he likes to let them fly.

Raven's got the idea, I keep trying to convince some of the guys I fish with to try that and they keep saying there isn't a boat big enough for them to squeeze into ... it's a great idea. :rotf3:

yeah or islands you can now get to and fish from.... right Andy?

Mr. Bassdawg you are right. It WAS 3:06 AM and I was leaving for a long day I in airports and on the road.

My apologies to the young lady.

***********!

She also apologized..... no need to keep harping on it :).

who would have thought this thread would turn into a wintershacknastyflamewar :btu: :laughs:
thanks for all your well wishes...and I'm not selling my surf gear anytime soon...this skiff is just to open up some options..

She also apologized..... no need to keep harping on it :).

So did I. See the Apology thread.

Congrats Pancho. You won't be disappointed if your first 50 is from a boat will you?

It just won't count George!:rotflmao:

:rotflmao:It just won't count George!:rotflmao:

Boat ??? 1st I heard of this ... Is that the new pair of waders you were talking about .. :wave:

Matt, that is awesome. You are gonna love being able to reach out and touch more fish. It's much easier to be a daytime fisherman once in a while and during the summer doldrums, it will help to be a boater when you want to be. Congrats! go slow and enjoy it. :btu:
