I would never plan on the regular towing of a 30 FT BOAT. It would be a total nightmare. The logistics of dealing with ramps and parking, no thanks .23ft boat is about the biggest I would want to deal with.

Is there a down side to aluminum boats
John P replied to codfish's topic in Boating and Boat Fishing
You beat me to it Makorider, in 16ft aluminum boat a 3ft wave looks like a 6 fter LOL I've owned aluminum boats that are fine for inshore activity. -
Original VS had the serial #s on the side plate, I have 3, 100 and 2- 150's. They last forever and the supply of parts will be available even if VS doesn't do the work. Too profitable not to sell parts for crazy prices, look at old cars 40yrs old parts still available. I would be concerned about a fake without the serial#s

Be careful out there in 40 degree water ,If you go over it's likely to be over. Have a buddy with you at least. It's pretty quiet out there this time of yr.

Why is everyone whistling in the dark and making believe all is fine. Every year has different recruitment. The real issue is fishing stinks and has been going south for at least 5 yrs. The overall population is way down over many years.. I don't care that some guys fishing fresh bunker in 100 of water catch nice fish, Ask the folks who throw plugs or fly fish how things are doing. The old timers will tell you the last part of the bass reduction had great catches of the last of the breeders. Soon after there were the closures for over 10 yrs. I've seen this act before unfortunately.

I maybe wrong but a party boat can take the max # of bass per # of anglers on board no matter who catches the fish. Make these fish game fish and have enough wardens to enforce the laws, we have to start somewhere. BTW the reason the landings in 2023 vs 2024 is there are less fish out there. I have fished for stripers every year for over 20 yrs and have seen the numbers go down for at least 5 years. I don't think I've forgotten how to catch stripers.
-
THE ONLY REASON THIS CRAP HAPPENS IS THERE IS A MARKET TO SELL STRIPERS, You have to remove the profit motive,before anything changes. It not that hard to understand.

I use flashy spools and Z-man jigs white. This time of year is sketchy for weather,lots of wind and cool water. I fish 100 miles south you in Everglades area. Snook are mostly in the back waters , tarpon in the Keys reds can be anywhere as well as sea trout. Have fun enjoy the trip.

I've caught a few in Naples about 12-14 in. Nothing special. In LIS I've caught 36 inchers. Major hand full,especially on light tackle.

If you store a collector car or extra car over the winter get a "car capsule" I have 2 cars I store and use them. Totally encapsulates the car with an air bubble . Have used for 15yrs and never an issue for either car. Cost about $500 . Great to not to have to worry about mice or rats. They come in different sizes depending on car. car hasd to be in a garage. Check it out on line.
