rockfish photo
Just thought I'd post a photo of a fish I caught last week my 9 weight w/ 300 grain sinking line. I was using a #1 white & white clouser. I marked some large fish near the surface in 65 feet of water. Caught this about 15 feet down.

Thanks Joe. We're really enjoying the boat. She's definately a "head-turner". Dave Larrabee really did a nice job getting it painted and put back together for us. It looked brand new when we picked it up. I'm also pleasantly surprised with how well it handle the chop in the bay. We've run it from Annapolis down to Poplar Island and back numerous times. Here is a better photo...

Nice lines - Is the motor inboard of the transom in a well? Sort of a surf boat?

Thanks. We really fell in love with the design.
Joe Evans (hamboat) could tell you all you need to know about sea skiffs. He used to build them!
They were originally designed with the motor well inside a high transome to protect against a following sea. Tom Simmons starting building them in the 40's in North Carolina. Our boat is fiberglass from the waterline down and wood above. This one was built by Silva in 1990. If you are interested, check out the official website. It gives a history of the boat.

Chris,
I hope you and your dad are doing well. It was a pleasure getting you guys on the water this summer dispite our bad luck with the weather.
Oh by the way... point those nice stripers south when you release them so that they stay down my way!

You can't control the weather. I'll be sure to release all my fish pointing south, but I'm not sure it will work. ;) We'd love to get out with you sometime to fish the CBBT. Not sure when, though. Take care.
