Boat:Just bought a 2000, 238 Carolina Skiff, 115 Johnson Had a 1999 21 century, it was too much for the local lakes and back water fishing.
Fresh water fishing with the kids for what ever will bite, Inshore saltwater is my preference! Only been off shore once on a head boat. In time I hope to make the big trip out, Maybe with some of you guys and gals.
This is the best site I have ever found, this is the only reason I get on the Net! I am about an hour and forty five Min. or so from sanford, but I hope to make some of those meetings you have, would love a shrimp boil!
