    Spray Wings for 216 Fisherman Center Console

    Is there anyone that put Eisen Glass spray wings around the center console, either just port and starboard sides or a telephone booth style? Do you have pictures you could share? Any suggestions out there in the Grady world? It really is cold out there today the Stripers are running and I want...

    Finally got the boat in the water and fully checked out. Man it was cold this morning taking it for a sea trial to make certain all systems made it through the winter storage. Is there anyone that put Eisen Glass spray wings around the center console, either just port and starboard sides or a...

    Bee repellent?

    Or they are looking for tasty bilge water and that is their access point. That’s especially true if there isn’t a lot of standing water around to drink.

    Bee repellent?

    As a retired beekeeper I can tell you there are many beekeepers around that can help. Call your or email the local beekeeping association for help. If the bees established a full working hive on your boat you may have a lot of honey and honey comb stashed away in hollow places throughout the...

    NJ fishing reports

    We did similar travels north. Had to leave at 11:00. Only landed this beauty and was too big to keep around 40” maybe next trip

    NJ fishing reports

    We spent the morning chasing balls of bunkers. Snagging and live lining them trying to catch Stripers. All the way up to Asbury Park along the beach. The whole fleet and only an occasional catch.

    Roughest Seas You’ve Endured - Seafarer 228?

    Just curious. Does anyone know how the 216 Fisherman would handle compared to a closely sized Seafarer? I avoid going out of the inlet into anything over a four foot SE rapid snotty chop here in coastal NJ.

    Try running thru the Point Pleasant Canal at a tide change on a weekend. It’s like piloting your boat thru the spin cycle in a washing machine.

    Yeah, it’s been running exceptionally high around here lately. It popped the lines on a few improperly tied up boats in our boat yard and flooded the parking lot and a few streets around here.

    New Fisherman 216

    We have Garmin for Sonar, Radar and GPS. Had it installed when we bought the boat new two years ago. It has done us just fine. We fish mostly in the artificial reefs off the NJ coast. Since I don't have AP yet, been thinking of getting it with some sort of spot lock. Would love to brave out...

    NJ fishing reports

    We spent the morning trolling around Little Italy, Arundo Wreck and gave up there were no bites. Then went to some old standby spots for the last day of Black Sea Bass and limited out. So, our Monday wasn't skunked.

    What a pleasant surprise to see someone else on this discussion. Tomorrow we will be heading out for the Blue fin tunas. Last week we tried for Black sea bass in both Axel Carlson and Sea Girt reef and trolled for Stripers as far up for us as Deal. Then the wind from the south picked up and...

    216 Fisherman Question

    How come every time I can go out fishing this year either the wind kicks up hard, it is pouring rain, or the seas are over 3 feet. This spring is running late for me. After Memorial Day weekend I only go out on weekdays until Labor Day. Then any good day until November. There's just so many...

    State shut downs and marinas

    Our very Liberal Governor Murphy has not shut it down. If your boat is in the water and you can solo or keep 6ft. apart no problem. It’s great very few yahoo’s on the rivers, bay or ocean. Fishing been very productive too.

    State shut downs and marinas

    This is the rule on my 216 GW Fisherman, until it all blows over. One guy in the bow, one in the stern, and I am at the helm. This way we maintain a safe distance from each other until July when it should all be over. That is if it doesn't come back in the fall Striper season. Haven't figured...

    State shut downs and marinas

    The only way not to catch Covid-19 is to go fishing single handed. All alone on the boat because there are many days when I don't catch anything. This is serious stuff be safe not dead.

    State shut downs and marinas

    I just spoke with the Dock Master that runs the marina down our street. He’ll be allowing us to drop our boat in and keep it at our slip a week later than usual. People that use their boat and slip as a summer home will not be able to stay on the boats over night and only immediate family of...

    216 Fisherman Question

    To be honest we've yet to use the head on the boat. So I can't answer that honestly. As to storage that could be an issue if you use the head to hold all your extra gear. As time went on I've learned to be neater and only bring what we might need for the type of fishing we thing we would get...

    180 fire extinguisher placement

    I read the few ideas here and I am still looking for an idea to mount our fire extinguisher. The door to the head compartment seems to lead the parade so far. I could easily cut a piece of hard wood and mount it under the mirror on the door and then mount the bracket to the wood. Are there...
