It was also my first season fishing from a boat and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The unexpected benefit was that my wife, who never showed much interest in fishing or boating, came along for a fishing trip, and enjoyed it so much that now she frequently asks "So when are we going out again". Her claims that she out fishes me are totally unfounded.
