Any fellow boaters out there?

Dad has a fishing barge and uncle has ~25' Pro Line

Katrina took our Yamaha waverunner

Sold my bass boat this past year.......



My dad has a pontoon and a houseboat. Probably get a little boat to hunt out of sometime soon along with a fishing kayak for the Cahaba River.

I guess I should post my own

Yamaha ar230 we go to lake Lanier here in Atlanta, out of baldridge marina. Tow it down to gulf shores quite a bit and the keys as well. Just spent Christmas/ new years down there. Also have a Kawasaki jet ski.

Family boats are two Boston whalers 23 dauntless and a 15 foot tender/ shallows down in boca grande, fl

14' Four Winns to play around a little on the lake.

My parents have a party barge with some fishing seats on the front. Good times.

(this is what the boat looks like)

Nice, we are looking to get a 27-30 cc in the near future.

I've fished offshore for years, we've owned several different brands of CCs, our last was a Jupiter 31fs badass machine. We've had grady white, hydrosports, & century.

In that size range currently here are the best brands; Jupiter, Yellowfin, Regulator, Grady White, Contender, Everglades and Boston Whalers. Go with twin Yamaha 4stroke engines.

You should be able to find a low hour used boat with a good electronic package. I do recommend you get Radar if you plan on overnight trips. Actually IMO it's a must have. We made regular overnight tuna, bill fish trips out 65 to 100nmiles. Radar will save your arse dodging summertime thunderstorms.

Start off with what you're comfortable with distance wise. I've taken the 100ton masters captains license courses and passed. Unfortunatel, I had to have spinal fusion shortly after the class and couldn't pass the physical in time to upgrade. I recommend, if you get serious about going offshore, to take the captains license course even if you don't plan on getting the license.

If you fish out of Orange Beach I will be happy to go with you on your first few offshore trips to help educate you on captaining your vessel and on how to bottom fish. I have over a hundred private spots we've either deployed ourselves as artificially reefs or natural bottom spots on the edge/yellow gravel. Grouper, snapper, AJ etc.

Good luck!

I get out occasionally.. Im really more of a golfer..

2001 25' Grady White CC out of Dog River, AL...anyone want to buy it
