I LOVE to fish, but mainly do offshore, and Shoreline night fishing. I don't have much experience with freshwater/lake fishing, but wouldn't mind it. Nice bass boat you got there.
I also have a 39ft nortek with trip 300 mercs in destin for my bluewater catching.
My dream vessel is a viking 50ft plus ,and i will get one soon .Wife and i plan to stay in destin for 6 months at a time .Ive been bluewater catching for 30 yrs myself .
Just make sure you clean the damn plants off that thing when you haul it! Also, wear your PFDs. I know, I know, you're not required to, and everyone will laugh at you. Put 'em on, anyways. They'll pull the guys that laughed out of the water dead.
I Love fishing and pull all nighters on shore.A few years ago fishing saltwater off some rocks I landed a 49lb striped bass around 330 am almost dead low tied. Glad I had lots of line on my Shimano bait runner as once I set the hook it ran out at least a hundred yards of twenty pound test andy line. After About half way in it lost it's fight and was dead weight the rest of the way,that sucked. Nothing like shore fishing on rocks with rats running around bigger then domestics cats and laying belly down on slimy rocks to pull a nearly a 50lb fish out of the water while hold my pole in one hand and pulling the fish on shore the other.Very rewarding and well worth the effort and it was just delicious eating.
