Well I'll tell you Larry, if you get a copy of Frank Woolner's "Modern Saltwater Sportfishing", you will see a section of a chapter on tin boats in the surf and how 14 footers are perfect for this. Well since I have a boat ( 14 feet) in my possesion and it's ready to go, I will renew an old tradition this coming weekend when me and LaPorte push off from Hatches after trailering her out on the sand track and see how long those bass can withstand a juicy fresh sand eel three wayed along the bottom.
If I must go offshore I will. Arnold Laine, Woolner, Whitney and Ralph Gray did it all the time. If they did it so can I. Better than sitting on shore moaning and whining!
Hopefully the weather will cooperate.
