  1. I just picked up a 21' trophy hardtop today. So now I should not have to wear a pfd!! It's a shame that the gov't forced me to have to upgrade to a bigger boat. ;) Can't wait to try it out on some fish. Half the fun of a different boat is rigging it to your likeing. Here's a pic of the new to me vessel...

    Good for you! Enjoy! What year is your Trophy? I believe the PFD law only applies from Nov to May 1st though? After May 1st you won't need to wear a PFD in boats under 21ft in length.

  2. Mikey,

    It's all good...if I can't take it, I won't dish it out. Or expose my waterborne inadequacies. ;)

    One thing to remember about me. I grew up near the Connecticut coast by Long Island, so minimal fear on the pond. My wife is an upstate landlubber getting her first experience with water action. 2 years ago in August we tried a charter trip out of Montauk. Beautiful summer afternoon. water was like glass. My wife and 2 of 3 kids are chumming over the side within an hour. :( Not having been out in years, I really do not want to quit, but we cut the half day charter in half again at risk of me living alone. Cut to last year, we do a charter off Martha's Vineyard and the family is geared up with every seasickness item available. There was a 1-2 foot surf and I'm saying my prayers to the fishing Gods. Luck would have it, no green family and we slammed into some 20 lb plus fish. If that didn't work out, I probably still would be dreaming about someday getting the boat we now own.

    So with that background, you know where I'm coming from. My wife and kids love me alot to put up with and even encourage my fishing habit, so I really have to give them some love back, and that does NOT include jamming a 7 foot tall boat through a 7 foot 1 inch opening.

  3. The stream may get a very small small run of fish, perhaps worth checking out if you are right nearby but otherwise salmon creek, fall creek, and six mile creek would be better choices. use either egg sacks or streamers and egg imitators
