News Flash: Slingah Buys Boat!

This is a fluid story......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"! Tune in to tonights 11:00 news for updated information!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

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

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

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
The big plus...no more access issues!

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

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.

Why even try.........

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 ...

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

Enjoy it.

Congrats Slingah

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 .


don't forget to anchor.
