Water Temp: 62 Degrees
Clarity was really nasty at the mouth of the river
We finally got the Seacraft out in the water after months of rehabbing the old 1976 boat.
Actually, we took it out a couple of weeks ago to put an hour on the new engine, but we had a steering malfunction and had to come back to port. Some idiot put the steering lines on backwards so left was right and right was left. That made for some interesting driving.
Today we were able to put the boat on plane according to Yamaha, so that was our plan.
If all went well, we planned on doing a little fishing too.
Well, all went well and Nancy landed the first fish ever placed in the boat with this nice keeper trout.
We kept driving the boat and checking to make sure there were no leaks and kept working our way out to find some decent water. We wandered out to the flat by the 2 marker and Nancy caught this eater on a curly tail grub.
I had my favorite jerk bait bit off by a hungry spanish mac, but got revenge later with two others that came boat side.
My crack photographer got a picture (kinda) of the Seacraft as we came back to port.
It's nice to get out finally and with gag grouper season opening next week, we now have the possibility of a couple of good months of fishing for them.
