i want a boat

figured i would put this here

an old bass boat would work, an old bayliner/chaparral or even a center console skiff type

anyone know of any good deals?

6/18/2007 4:52:17 PM

I'm selling clamp on out-riggers as well as the reels, but flood control is making me wait. The pics are in my gallery.

6/18/2007 5:11:03 PM

how much for the reels and the outriggers?

have a downrigger for sale?

6/18/2007 5:36:03 PM

It should be, Clamp-on outrigger. I can't type! I just shot you a PM about them.

As far as a downrigger, I might have one for-sale. But it's a maybe and it would only be one.

6/18/2007 6:11:55 PM

how far offshore in NC area do i have to go to get into dolphins (mahi-mahi)?


better yet, whats a good forum for saltwater fishing in nc? I have looked at ncangler.com, but thats about it.

Depends on which part of NC you launch out of. OI its about 34 miles, HI is less, don't know much about the Crystal Coast.

Log on to...http://www.tidalfish.com

The Mid-Atlantic offshore board is really starting to take off and there is a couple of Charter Guys on there who are willing to share info and swap intel (I've fished with a couple of them).

6/18/2007 6:53:48 PM

Went out to the Lake Raleigh Boat Ramp/Dock....Nice Work. Can't wait to fish out there.

6/18/2007 9:42:54 PM

^Yeah it is a nice place. I went out there tonight with my kayak and caught a large mouth and a small mouth bass, both pretty good size but nothing special.

There def. is the potential for monsters there I believe.

6/18/2007 10:03:09 PM

No trolling motors on the lake as of now

^A Co-worker of mine turned me onto that site, but Reports and solid info is lacking.

6/21/2007 11:00:03 AM

anybody have an extra spot on a boat this weekend?

6/22/2007 10:54:48 AM

you go to fishing report message board on ncw

6/22/2007 11:46:50 AM

Even then its hard to find good info. Thats why I like Tidalfish

6/22/2007 11:53:13 AM

Time for Bed. Looks like we are taking out my mom tomorrow!

6/22/2007 10:17:13 PM

6/24/2007 4:31:49 AM

How did everyone do?

6/25/2007 8:11:19 AM

Went to buy a boat this weekend, 23' Donzi CC, but it was not as advertised.

Sunday was horrible. We fished the 650 to the like the 690 all day with 4 knock downs and only two came tight and I pulled the hook on both. Spent the entire day untangling lines, I was just drained and not thinking. Saw lots of Tuna marks and even tuna jumping but no hook ups. Looks like I'm not fishing for a couple of weeks because of schedules and work.

We also had a Sea Stallion come over ahead at 50 feet. It was fucking wild.

6/25/2007 5:08:33 PM

My mom and I caught 46 fish at the lake 2 weekends ago. They were mostly perch, brim and white bass (so my friend said). We cleaned and cooked them.

6/25/2007 5:09:46 PM

6/26/2007 10:35:23 PM

Tube Steak and I decided to go out of Maryland for some Rockfish for a birthday trip for me. Well after an hour run, we got to the bay and it was blowing hard...like 15+ of out NE. We decided to brave it in an 18 Whaler and went right out into the bay to the target ship. It was like a washing machine and it was getting worse. Made some casts and then ran back in. It was a nice boat ride! I had never seen seas like that in a small boat, it was whipping.

7/1/2007 10:14:11 PM

Little snotty on the way out to the 750, bunch of boats out there. Trolled all the way up to the 830 and back and found some scattered eel grass and picked up a gaffer.

Right around lunch time, I was coming out of the cabin w/ my lunch and the left short rigger just explodes. It ends up backlashing (Drag not set right?) so I crank it and free spool it and it comes loose. As I look back a nice size Blue is just tail walking and it looks pissed. Fought it for an hour and a half and got it boat side and leadered before the hook broke. Bye bye Blue and white flasher :boat:

Fished around the 750-760 till about 4:30 with out any other bites. Some other boats were hooked up with tuna but just couldn't raise them.

7/3/2007 8:36:51 PM

I always catch breams and crappies at my pond...

I'm pretty sure I'm going there tomorrow!

Got up this morning and it was blowing but we said fuck it...Bad decision, it was blowing 20-25 offshore and the seas kept building. We called it at noon and it was a nice 27mi jog that took almost three hours at 10knots.

7/5/2007 6:13:20 PM

I'm waiting on these bad boys...



The ones on the bottom so I can tie up some more ballyhoo rigs

7/11/2007 4:27:07 PM

I was gonna do some trout fishing in WV, but it was $35 for a 1 day out of state permit.

7/11/2007 4:36:17 PM

^^^^ Nice Cuda.

Still in the market for a new boat. Until then it's chartering, as usual...

Heading out with a charter captain next week. I'll see if I can get any pics up.

7/11/2007 4:48:07 PM

^where and which boat?

7/11/2007 6:07:21 PM

Assuming you're asking about the charter:

We go out of Southport and have used the Salty Dog for years. Capt. Mike Helms. Old and slow ass boat, but he's the best charter captain around, everyone agrees. Plus we catch a metric shit-ton of fish.

7/11/2007 6:10:51 PM

Word. I was just curious, I don't fish down there at all, thought you might be chartering up North here. I know some great Captains.

7/11/2007 6:21:07 PM

i want a 13' whaler like that

7/11/2007 6:24:22 PM

fuck fishin, lets go hoggin!

7/11/2007 6:31:29 PM

I aborted the trip this morning. It was my mom's birthday so we all went out last night but our reservation was at 9, so we didn't get done with dinner till 12. By the time we got back from Duck, I was wiped and the boat still wasn't prepped so I said fuck it. Too bad, the wind is non existent today.

7/13/2007 11:14:11 AM

set em up
