Boat fishing in rough water......

you guys think boat fishing is easy? Look at the size of those swells........

If you dropped a pebble, the ripples would have went 3 miles.

Now imagine you are in a sail boat 120 miles from home. I hate the doldrums days. The ocean is supposed to have wind!

I'm not sure what's making me drool more -- the fish, or the flata$$ calm day out on the water.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

about 10-15 pounds then.


if you want to give the illusion your fish is bigger, then you have to lie and say you are 6' - 8" and 280.


nice fish Jimmy

Thanks- your close Paul - 27!

Fish was on a bunker. I love watching the hits on the calm water. The bunker came off the hook when I had the fsih on, I was fighting the fish and suddenly there is a huge splash to the left, another bass was hitting the bunker! I was fishing with Parker23 and he cast out towards the splash while a gull grabbed the bunker. No luck on the other fish though. A few minutes of pure rush!


Slip - doh - your right - first person to catch that and I had to think about ti for a few minutes.....

I was wondering where Bruce has been, guess he's been stealth lately!

Never mind the rough sea you had to contend with. Trying to lift a 27pound fish over the gunwale is a good way to cause some back discomfort. Sliding fish up onto the beach or the rocks is nothing compared to having to lift one up 2 feet out of the water and into a boat.

Jimmy, you are truly a testament to the hardcore boat fishing lifestyle. Oh, and nice fish.

Nope. the parker 23 is in drydock, we where on the HSP 20.5. We saw F18 on the water.

Jimmy, can you can give me a tow over there in my yak Lol. I wanted to head over that way after I got some bunker but it is farther than I wanted to paddle. Had to resort to staying with the schools.
