I finally got a day to go out in my new toy, been so busy hunting and working. This was a day to get used to the boat, so I decided to set a couple of crab traps and troll around for any feeders.
The new toy
07 Hewescraft 180 Searunner with 115 yammy and 8HT yammy kicker, two electric scotties, Lowrance 337cdf sounder/GPS, VHF and trailer. I bought it off a guy who was leaving town and needed to get rid of it. So I made him an offer and he agreed. It has 55 hours on it and after we agreed to a price, he threw in about $2500 in extras including terminal gear, lamiglas and shimano rods, shimanio/Diawa/Penn reels, prawn and crab traps, nets, extra GPS and a whole lot of other stuff needed to catch fish and use the boat on the ocean.
Today was a great day.
No fish, but I really did not fish very hard, just got used to the boat and the gear on board. Ended up with three dungeness and picked the two best for dinner.
Awsome boat and a great day.
Now I need to convince the other half to allow me to add some stuff and make a few changes.
I am really look forward to getting out this winter for springs and to get the boat "fish" ready for next spring
Cheers
