I was on the boat sunday and we were on fish from sun up to sun down from prudence to save the bay. 30-33" fish all up north of the light house. Saw prob 10 pods of pogies between colt stat park and conimicut. All 20-30ft wide 10 feet deep just slow rolling. Any that got live lined just came back in half. They stuck around both sides of the tide. Also first time long time (for me) they were puking up a fair amount of juvenile herring not just peanuts. -
A few years back I lost my keys at the breachway...at night....in January. Thought I locked em in, long wait for triple A and my sister only to find they weren't in there. Thought schoolies in a snow flurry was cool until that happened.

Trying to buy 1st boat. cheap and reliable
Rlan401 replied to wielkadupa's topic in Boating and Boat Fishing
I still have sportcraft. The bow hook needs to be replaced and refinished and the flywheel wont turn. Haven't decided what I wanted to do. Might keep the motor for parts, sell the T-top, console, seats and crush the hull or sell the whole thing as a project with the trailer for 1k. I believe water pump failed in shallow dirty weedy water and over heated. I was upwind and less then half mile from the ramp, I paddled back. Idk how some of these guys spend as much as they do but I don't find it costs that much if you have space in your yard for it. I winterize myself..disconnect everything, bottle of stabil, can of fog, a little antifreeze in the pumps, 2x4 frame and a $100 heavy duty tarp from joblot... -

Freedom Boat Club 3 years ago I bought a 95 sportcraft CC with a 95 merc 125 two stroke and trailer for $4500 he was askin 6k. Got a year and a half out of it relatively problem free before motor over heated and seized. Learned a lot, didn't spend a ton and realized I liked having a boat. Instead of replacing motor ( similar cost ) I bought a 2000 Trophy 1802 walk around with same year merc as first boat and trailer for 5k, it booked at 8 and he was askin 75. Towed both boats with my 09 Tacoma v6. If you can't do general maintenance and can't spin a wrench just have a good job or money in the bank. -

Local bait guy caught a bass at block island that had a huge rat in it. Was out Sunday sunrise to sunset on the boat. Landed over a hundred bass mid bay between 2 guys, nothing over 32". Better fish came at the end of the night. Left fish still breaking. Tons of bait in the cut where I launched on the way in. -

I built my kitchen from the studs up with minimal assistance. I enjoy cooking and even more so in a kitchen I built myself.

Rlan401 replied to codfish's topic in Boating and Boat Fishing
I see free boats and want to take them just because I know the potential some have. Even though I know I don't have the finances nor time to even consider taking one of them on. Yet I still look daily. -

Albies were in mid bay sunday and a nice bass and blue feed north of that at sunrise. Still plenty of bait to drop but its nice being able to save a ride and still find good fishing. -

I get genuinely anxious with the boat in tow. Some spots the lanes are so narrow and jenky its impossible to stay in the lines and i've hit a few uneven sections that had me checking the rearview to make sure the boat was still there.
