I have a bunch of health issues, but only got out 3 times last year But this year was able to get out at least 1 time a week!!
Had a great time with friends, and my son, he still has work to do, but he manged the boat, and was able to back the trailer in the water!!

Did not try as many things as I wanted to, and did not catch as many fish as I use to, but was able to get my 76 year old Dad out, and got to fish with some friends. All and all I had a great year!

I was more into it for the fun, then the commercial part that i was for years, and I had a great time! Just hope I have a boat when the spring comes??


Here is that we all get to do it again next year!! :beer:
 
Mine was meeting Chumbucket.

Translation: "rkc didn't have that great of a season" :(

Seriously, only got out and handfull of times, never caught any "prize fish". Probably the highlight was the raft-up where I got to meet Chum, rwilson, monketbutler and of course the "New and Improved MJ".

Otherwise my grandkids had a great time when I took them out and caught lots of scup.

Catching dolphin and flounder at Hatteras over Memorial Day weekend. Bottom fishing with my nephew and BIL a close 2nd.
 
kind of a weird year down here, still got to go out the couple of days every week, but the kids are grown, doing other things, working ,etc. so mostly my wife and me. kinda different. did not get to pompano fish like i usually do, no trolling for kings of spanish, then the rains came and washed out july & august. worst scallop season in st joe in 4 or 5 years.

but hey, any day in a boat is a great day.
 
Well i am right up there with dave (RKC) on the fun factor. All kidding aside my trip up there with the boat was fun....weather, boat, trailer and everything else cooperated that weekend.
 
Yes I would have to agree that we had a good time At the get together and hope we can do it again next year!! I most likely will need a ride as I will be boat less, but I am sure that's not going to be a issue
 
Has to be catching our first SkunkBoat Bluefin Tuna. Followed by our first SkunkBoat Cod. Especially since these were our targets and we ran far to get them.

Season is still going strong for us, been getting some really nice lings and other assorted rock fish! The salmon were being caught right up to the end and people are still pulling in 50 and 60 pound sea bass! Really wanted a nice halibut but haven't got one yet.
 
Thanks MJ.....The fact that they are clawless makes them a tad easier to get out of the hole:fam: Still gotta watch the head, they have some knives up there if you're not careful.....
 
Highlight - my son hooking and landing a big fluke off the Cape May Reef.

Conditions started out a little sporty, but calmed nicely and we had fun together.

Father and son stuff.
 
My highlight is easy. After 2 years with no V, I bought a V21, the former Reelapeelin from Parrot6909.

I can't wait to see what yer gonna do w/my 21...I hated to see it go, but had other priorities at the time...Parrot has already expressed some seller's remorse as well....that's gonna make you a great boat, Rick!...:nic:

Hope you'll keep the pics comin as you make changes and improvements...:party:

well i have not worked in 18 months now and i still need to have a kidney transplant. hoping my brother is a match?? Social Security says i have not paid into them for my 8 years with the state as a employee so they have nothing for me, or $700 if i jump up and do tricks! They said go to my job, they say no help because I am not vested till `10 years so nothing from them. I pulled my retirement money out and will be fine till spring, but then the $hit is going to hit the fan!! which brings me to the boat, it will have to go for me to eat for a little while longer. I can't even get the $700 from SS cause I have t get rid of the boat, truck, and they say my $1100 mortgage is to much so it has to go also, all before they will even consider give me $700 ! Then I can get food stamp, housing, medical and live off the system!! I said this is why the country is the way it is, they making it that way!! I have always worked my whole life and now I am screwed.
Well there you go, now you know.
