I switched to a Mantis 2 for my pulpit / windlass anchor which sticks quickly and holds great in sand. My anchor hatch also has chocks under the lid which holds a decent size Danforth which is my beach anchor which I rig breakaway when I'm fishing on a craggy bottom. When I beach / stern...

I have two on mine also. A couple years ago I got a flat about 3 hours into my trip and didn't want to drive without a spare so wasted about 3 hours trying to find a replacement. II mounted one on the frame and one on the upright which I use as sort of a step ladder for getting in and out of...

The Windy and Wind Alert apps give 7 day models that are fairly accurate and I cross reference them with NOAA which is currently calling for 5 to 10 kits and 3'-4' swell out to 1000 fathoms. A big comfort factor I like is a prolonged period of calm and a southerly wind for my return so I'm not...

If the forecast holds it looks like we're running to the Atlantic Parking lot Saturday or maybe Sunday. I'm sure it'll be a circus out there but I'm busy the next couple weeks and can't pass a window like this, anyone else?

Looks great and nice fit. My brother has two 8616's on his new Regulator and I'm so impressed I just bought an 8610 and some extras for my Seafarer. The 8610 flush mounts similarly in my dash compartment with no cutting and looks like I'll have just enough room to fit the Garmin AIS radio...

Thanks, I sort of talked my brother into upgrading his boat this year so he bought a new 28 Regulator with every option he could get. The only stipulation was WE had to use it and catch a couple tuna this year ✔.

We cleared NY harbor at about 4 this morning and made it to little Italy just as it was getting light. The ocean was glassy but a 3' swell kept us under 25kts or we'd launch on the bigger waves. We jigged with the fleet until about 8 but heard a couple people catching on the troll so we...

My bad and correct, these were Atlantic Bonito https://g.co/kgs/Hf93PU which is different than Oceanic Bonito which I actually like for sushi if fresh. I'm broiling some for dinner but not overly enthusiastic about it but we'll see. From reading the FB reports it sounds like a few Bluefin...

We ran out of Atlantic Highlands on my brother's new non Grady to the Humpty Dumpty this morning. New boat so we waited until first light to run so arrived a little after 6. Saw a couple boats hooked up but didn't see any major action and the fleet seemed to scatter by 7. No tuna for us but...

Congrats, I've heard there are some nicer ones out there. We're you also chunking or just Jigging? We're going to Humpty Dumpy on my brother's (Regulator 28) early Friday AM (along with the rest of NJ...) and hopefully Resor or AP on Saturday or Sunday whichever day gives us the better window...

Great job! I'm in the midst of an electronics upgrade and remote steering for the kicker and a removable cobia tower is my next major upgrade.

I chose inreach because I heard the satellite network spot uses is "spotty". I don't really know but may want to look into that.

I'm reading about this now, probably my next gadget. Thanks.

It depends on your chart plotter head unit. Each (major) manufacture makes their own and there are generic modules that connect via NEMA2000. Then you need a subscription through XM and there are several options that offer different services. Not cheap but hey, it's a boat...

I don't wear a lifejacket unless I'm running in the dark or its really rough but otherwise my gear list, philosophy, and approach is similar to everwhom. I almost sunk few years ago about 60 miles out on a friend's boat and it taught me a few important lessons. I a do wear the Inreach Mini and...

No, I just used 4 of the big washers used for mounting engines.

Garmin Inreach.

Does this problem occur when you're running or trolling? Many alternators barely produce enough Amps to run the engine when operating at idle speed. Running a GPS and misc accessories while trolling and you're probably running at a deficit when trolling.

Thanks for the report and good way to end it on some Sea Bass. I'm keeping my boat in OCMD this season but I'll be running my brother's new 28' Regulator out of the Atlantic Highlands this summer. I'll let you know next time we make a run at it and let's hope it turns on again like last year.

A better photo and next I'll be posting about gelcoat repair... I was solo again and it was a struggle to get it over the rail all lit up.
