Got Boat?

[aquaticbiology]

he's probably some old f@rt who still uses halon in his extinguishers even though it eats through the lines yearly and kills all the fish around his boat

and probably drives a volkswagon diesel rabbit

mornin y'all btw

i'm gettin salty fever again - still have some of the big mahi-mahi left but the freezer is devoid of grouper again and i wish the gas prices would drop for the weekend so I could go offshore fishing and restock! otherwise, it's back to the dang 5hp pelican and those picky,picky big redfish on the points. the crabs and pinfish (redfish bait for those who havent gone for redfish before) have gotten a repreve for a while now since offshore has been so good.

just stuck my nose out the door - somebody must have left the fridge open somewhere - its actually cold out there! maybe the lake up here will turn over soon and the stripe will start busting. all the red tide stuff caused the spanish to stay deep or run late or something and the rigs that were made this summer have gone unused so far.

You know what i'd love - i'd love to set up a marine scanner in, like, destin, say and so be able to listen to the marine radio traffic over the internet and hear how the red tide is doing and how the fish are biting, etc. Like a 'live police scanner site' but for boats, actual boating weather observations and up-to-the-minute fishing situation.

updates:
1) there is no law against online rebroadcasting of marine radio (as long as no transmitting may be done)

2) free to do using shoutcast or just plug audio in with beach cam

3) will increase users to beach cam or website and how long they stay on your website or beachcam

4) any marine radio with ac adapter and speaker out and scan mode will work fine, just set it to scan all channels, plug it in to the mic or line_in hole in computer, set up the computer for broadcast and it's live feed time!

man, i'd have it on 24/7 in the background and the updating gif as screen saver (which it already is now)!

"...lordy what an idiot! ..."


"...while this twit is standing on his head..."


If you poke-around the gentleman's website, you will see that he
has considerable experience jamming hooks into fish, but you
could also drive-over and ask him as he is based in Destin.

He has also been surveying boats for about (4) decades; chances
are he would not still be in business if he did not know what he
was talking about

You seem quick to call someone an "idiot" and a "twit" because
he does not agree with you; my approach is not to dismiss outright
those opinions that differ from my own, as occasionally they have
poven to have worth.

sorry, dude, if I offended you but I'll stick to my armstrong deck on this one. don't buy any boat with a fancy shaped backend and dont go more than a mile out on just one engine or alone - if you don't want the coasties to laugh at you - and for heaven's sake, if you catch a nice big 60# fish make sure that whoever you're with knows how to run the boat properly as to not allow the fish around the engine - you don't back onto a fish unless you want sushi (YUMMY!), or if you gun the engine hard while backing onto a fish - shashimi! (EVEN MORE YUMMY!). Great name for a boat - YUMMY! I met the guys at the destin 'yetch' brokerage and yep, I can see it being one of them. Just go to the boat builder directly and have a talk with one of their designers.

This is our little boat...its a 20' Sea Ray. It runs like a charm and gets us where we want to go! A bit small for 2 adults, 3 kids and two dogs... but we have fun anyway!

been there - nice place and my ear still feels like I may have talked to Todd! I bought mine at Paradise Marine in Gulf Shores/Foley/Orange Beach just cause they had the exact design I was looking for. If you're not picky then you can't complain!
