    Caught on Video

    Here are a couple of screen-shots of me leaving Haulover inlet the other day. Wind against the tide made it interesting for WAVY BOATS to set up his camera and take videos of everyone leaving and entering the inlet. Check out his YouTube channel to see a lot of very cool boats, and a lot of...

    You tube ..... Haulover

    Like I said, Fishing here is great. Here is a 20 lb. Black Grouper I caught the other day trolling in 60 feet over the natural reef. He inhaled the Nomad lure and it took a while to get the hooks out of his throat without ripping him up inside, but Grouper are very hardy, (sorta like Blackfish...

    You tube ..... Haulover

    Haulover inlet is not bad at all...as long as you know how to handle your boat. Not any different from Manasquan Inlet or Barnegat Inlet up in NJ, which I boated from for over 30 years before moving the boat down here. Most of those videos showing rough water (and the googans who don't know...

    Tucked away for the winter.

    Great looking boat KY! question: Why are 4 Battery Tenders hooked up to service one battery each? Couldn't they do at least two at a time with a jumper wire between each pair?

    NJ fishing reports

    FYI to the guys local to Manasquan inlet and Shark River Inlet........big schools 80 to 100 pound Bluefin Tuna are breaking water between the Klondike and Shark River Reef in 80 to 120 feet depths. (we saw them in the same area last week too, so they must be finding forage there) Was out there...

    1987-88 252 Sailfish value

    i just used the link above and entered the options and motors I have on my 1988 Trophy Pro, it shows a selling price of 45 to 50K. I BOUGHT my boat in 1991 when it was only 3 years old for 45K. So, I guess Grady's hold their value, eh? LOL.

    Running at night

    Great advice above, I'll just add and stress, that it is very important to run your radar every time you use your boat. Being in a salt-water environment you gotta keep it "exercised" so you know it will WORK when you need it to. (besides, regulations state any boat equipped with radar must have...
