My great nephew, Ben got this 23” Fluke in the bay behind Avalon, NJ, with his brand new rod. Good Mojo on that rod.

I have never used mine but when it does bind up, I hit it with WD-40 and hit it with a dead blow hammer. If you do get it to come up leave it on the first detent with about three inches of the nob sticking up.

I am down in Sea Isle City and the bite has been pretty good but I am still jealous of you central and north Jersey guys. Send some of those doormats South for vacation.

I couldn’t see a starboard stern line in the first picture. Also no starboard springer lines. Maybe in severe weather these would be helpful?

I wonder if he spends his winter in Florida at Haulover Inlet?

Try Spray Nine. Don’t spray it directly onto the vinyl but onto a wet rag or sponge. Try this first before the cleaners with bleach.

Just a heads up to all the fisherman here, do NOT order anything from Tackledirect. They are going out of business. I misplaced my deck boots and checked online if they had them and they did. I drove from my home in Sea Isle City NJ to Egg Harbor NJ (about 20 miles) and walked into a nearly...

I think the bolster flips up on the standard seat. My seat does not flip up to go to the leaning post type of seat. The starboard side passenger seat flips up from the side for access to the second live well. I would much rather have the additional tackle storage under the helm seat than the...

I have both a PA and NJ residency. My boat is registered in NJ and the registration is sent to my PA address for renewal.

I agree with Sardinia. Typical precautions should be used as in filling your vehicle at gas stations. Turn off engine or engines, no smoking, etc.. Maybe turn off batteries to completely eliminate the chance of sparks. If it makes you feel safer, by all means do it.

It’s not like you went from being an Eagles fan to a Cowboys fan. We won’t hold it against you. Good luck with new ride!

Dewey, Cheatum and Howe. When you call ask for Moe.

My wife would kill me in my sleep if I bought a bigger boat.

First of all, does the garage have a solid floor such as concrete? If it does, back the trailer partially into the garage, Jack the trailer up with railroad jacks or two floor jacks. Take the wheels completely off. Lower the trailer down to a few inches from the hubs touching the ground a block...

I have a Coastal Fog Grady. It is in the water from May through October. I wax the hull in the boat yard where it is stored in April. Depending on the condition of the gel coat I will either do a two stage cleaning or a three stage cleaning. It usually comes up great.

Here is a very informative video from one of my fishing channels on YouTube that I follow. It is about boat prices from 2020 to now in 2024 and the rate of inflation. Sorry though, Grady White boats are not in the video.

I also have a Fisherman 236. Being 66 years old, the higher gunnels and the added safety of them would make an easy decision for me.

Welcome to the Grady White community and good luck with your new boat.

I have a Fisherman 236. The Coastal Explorer looks to me to be mainly a Bay boat as opposed to the Fisherman which can run both the bay and the Ocean. Is it more important to you to get into skinner water than to have higher gunnels and a better offshore ride? Does the Coastal Explorer have the...

Ask around your marina, I”m in Sea Isle City and there are tuna being caught occasionally 15 miles out. Tell a responsible person your float plan, have an EPIRB and most of all check the weather on a few sources and venture out. Try fishing some pots for Mahi in a little closer.
