    The plan was to go out and do a little bottom fishing and see what we could drum up. We left out and filled the livewells with bait at the pass and headed offshore. We ran to some natural bottom about 12 miles out and started fishing. We caught a few aj's and then flipper showed up. Time to...

I plan on making a run in a week or so to the edge (~30miles one way) to Bottom fish and troll. I have searched...

    Fuel tank selector valves

    It's almost spring and i have just about got our 87' Seafarer back to fishin' condition. We took the boat to a local lake a couple of weekends ago for a shake down ride and all went well, except I'm a little confused. On the back of the boat there are two valves for the fuel tanks. We only had...

    Spring tune-up

    Well cobia season starts in about two months so guess i need to start gathering parts for the engines. My question is the two stroke Merc's I have ran good last fall. I ran the fuel out of them when I put the boat to sleep for winter. I just got the boat in the fall and have no idea of the...
