can i justify this

[johnny ducketts]

huh,

I'm getting the i want a baby before we get a boat thing.
I'm using the excuse that a boat is gonna be alot cheaper than a kid, but maybe I should rephrase it, cause it doesn't seem to be working

[fishpoopoo]

boat = cash flow money pit.

taxes, insurance, storage, docking, maintenance, repairs.

and we haven't even gotten to the gas or towing expense.

i dunno, it's nice to have a boat, but i wonder if it makes more sense to charter or share gas expense with a friend who has a boat.

Buy a boat, you won't go back.
I find it worth every friggin cent I spend to get on the darn thing.
If I didn't have it I would be totally insaner.

I did that twice since I've been married. Once with a Harley and another time with a truck..............neither time went over well. But she eventually got over it.

dear yoda, (aka snakeslinger)

i feel like start wars when i hear that saying " the dark side"

i hear ya, but it goes through my head alot

you got your big fish already this year...pressure's off..fish with a clear head for the rest of the season

go 3 days with el skunko, not even a hit, in three different parts of the state, when you know guys are getting fish in the mid 30's to 40

thank god i have no hair becasue i woud pull it out

the bay is jersey like last year, except they were on the beaches down there

we are reaping the benifits from the bill that passed in jersey with bunker banning

now if we can keep arc out of the bay, that would be unbelievable

Maybe I'm a little antsy right now.....gotta relax

You work hard ... buy the boat ... tell her it's for safety reasons ... that you don't want to spend so many nights on the rocks that it would be safer to fish from a boat ... that angle may work, also tell her you want to take her out on it ...

[Redsoxticket]

How about a large jet ski equiped with the necessary items like rod and tackle holders, live passive well. That would be so cool especially if you have a few fishing buddys with the same setup.

You and wife can also use the jet ski. I bet she says yes.

Perhaps that's the problem, the huge schools of menhaden are keeping the bass away from shore

Nice thought but untrue, All my fish are coming in 4 to 8 foot of water right up tight to the beach in some cases 20 feet from the beach...The problem is the fish are so well fed during the day they wont eat at night or you may get a few here and there but once bass are on bunker like this tactics needs to change, try fishing daybreak with a danny or poping plug...if you want it bad enough do what I used to do..I had a tank in my truck and would snag bunker from the docks in wickford etc...and look at all the coves till I found them then liveline them at your favorite shore spot..there are no excuses only solutions...Right now its a daytime thing... And when its a nightime thing its still awesome in a boat!

If the boats a rocking

A baby is knocking..

Just stress the together time tell her a boat would allow for you 2 to be together more (then the first time she’s out in it hit the highest waves and choppiest seas you can find)
