Fishing boat search (is over)
« on: March 19, 2011, 08:25:42 PM »
After a bit of searching I pulled the trigger on a new to me boat i hope to use in the ocean. It's a Grady White Islander. 26' 11' and an 8.5' beam. Still need to shake it down a bit, but it seems to to be a sea worthy boat. Has some of the basics GPS, radar, speed depth, flow scan, ect.. What do think, will it make me a sea worthy fish'n boat? Now I just need to learn from all of you how to fish the ocean. Plan to mainly go out of Westport so don't hesitate if your heading out to shoot me a PM so I can tag along, or maybe some members can jump aboard.

Forget the bear spray, use wasp killer. Concentrated delivery stream, 10X the product, and only $3.00 on sale.

C-Money, I expect no fish will be safe once i learn the area, but that may take awhile. To be honest I have never fished for Halibut or tuna but they are in my plans. I may have to do one of each on a charter first just to get the feel of it.

Hoping a few savy members of the westport area throw out an invite to let me follow them out or hop on board and show me some of the ropes. Hate to offer up boat, fuel, tackel, and bait to learn a few tricks, but that may be a cheap route.

My Brother-in-law had a smaller Grady and ended up selling it.  It was the best boat I have fished out of.  Greatly enjoy yours!!
