Good luck Russ. Go catch some fish and enjoy your boat.

I agree that fully charged batteries are a must. I would also check the automatic bilges to be sure they are super reliable.

Oh. I see that now. Not sure what I was thinking. I guess I was half asleep. Lol.

Lol. I wish. I can’t do what I used to do anymore. I’ve slowed down a lot in the past 10 years. I still eat right and stay active.

It can be a fight. Amber jack will almost pull your arm out of the socket if you don’t know what you are doing. Sometimes we have to cut their throats to get them under control. I am a little wiser in my old age. Lol. I don’t shoot the amberjack unless I have help. Gotta check for sharks first...

These grouper we get with hook and line anywhere from 70ft to about 180 ft. Depending on the time of year. I also spear them while scuba diving.

We cheat. Lol. We deep drop into 850 to 1000ft of water with an electric reel. We have special rigs with glow lanterns and glow rubber shrimp. Takes about 10 to 12 lbs of weight. Looks like a huge sabiki rig. His eyes suffered decompression from coming up from 875ft.

Kinda looks like a skinny version of the grouper that we catch here in fla. Lol.

Mini season was today and yesterday. The regular season opens in 2 weeks. You are allowed 6 lobsters per person per day. We had 6 anglers on the boat. We limited out both days. We have a few coral heads marked that load up every year. We were back at the dock by 11 am. We also find them on...

Lobsters are large and abundant here in key west. Now it is time to plan my escape before the hurricane comes my way. Lol.

I’m just leaving lake jacossee in South Carolina today and heading to key west for mini lobster season. I’m sure the fresh water lake will be good for flushing out All the keys salt from the engine and trailer.

Was the boat on slings when you inspected it or on a trailer.

Are yo Are u sure they changed the Housing and the sealing o rings. Sometimes the housings look good and they are not, so the mechanic doesn’t change them out. I see it a lot. Any air leak there n the problem is there at low speed. The o ring can pinch easily upon assembly. That is why I use...
