Zodiac Boats?
My buddy has one laying around I am thinking of making him an offer on it.....comes with motor. Any thoughts on these boats for fishing coastal areas, launching from the Race? 
Thanks! |

POP sssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Just kidding. I have fished from one many times as my parents use one as a tender to their sailboat. Landed some nice fish out at block as a teen in one. Use to screw all over salt pond in one and catch fish too, back in the day. One year in college, we lived right on salt pond and our landlord had one and an old 15 horse johnson chaind to the post. A trip to joblot for some bolt cutters and a stop at cumbys for some gas and we were tooling around all fall and spring nailin' em.
So, yes you can fish from them. they are stable as hell. i have never been to race pt., but i bet you could put one in if the swell wasn't big.
they don't really have much of a v entry so you will not cut through the surf at all.
but for salt pond, marshes, back bays, rivers, estuaries, they are the bomb.

Don't know how they fish, but we beat the $--- out of them in the Army. They work great for getting on and off the beach, driving onto landing craft and helicopters...... Need some power when the surf is up....

I don't remember the web page, but someone posted a sharking from shore web-site. The run the bait out into the water with the zodiac (ala the bomba brothers kayak).
Check out what a zodiac can do from shore. Those guys are insane.
