Getting started in fishing for a trophy COW striped bass at was forced on me by Mike Smedley, Team Old School by offering a free day at the Kiptopeke fishing ground for myself and daughter Deb Butler. Her PIG came the next day fishing with Lanny Parrott.
Yes, "Fish On" is a team effort and usually the skill and knowledge of the Captain of the boat!
Debbie wonders where to begin cleaning her prize? The table is 5 feet long, to put the size of the fish in perspective.
All is well that ends well happily. Deb remembers lots of stuff, but the celery?
Captain Smedley, Team Old School, is wondering where the 50 pound COWs that he encountered the previous day have gone. Or was it a dream?
The SeaPro newly arrived at the homestead in Scottsburg, VA
Might not seem very exciting to bring a new boat home, but after you take a look at another blog
THE SEAPRO UNDER COVER
> The pictured Sea Pro 21.5 is suitable for max 4 foot seas to be somewhat comfortable. Keeping in mind that a rogue 7 footer might be rising to challenge the best of captains. Up front, there's the Minn Kota Riptide trolling motor designed for the salt. It is outfitted with the i-Pilot for convenience. The outboard power is a Yamaha 150 6 cylinder 2 stroke (has a convenient hose connector to flush engine galleys). The T-top by Smith and Company is a great addition. A forward locker on the port is for fish and the one on the starboard is for gear. A live well sits in front of the console and behind the leaning seat. Rocket launch rod holders adequate for purpose, drift master rod holders also adequate for purpose. Eel tubes, Lowrance HDS8 sonar/gps with LSS-1 Structure Scan and raised relief graphic, NorthStar Explorer 721 marine radio, 2 12 volt batteries for the Trolling Motor, One 12 volt for the sonar/gps electronics, and two start batteries with Parker switch to keep one in reserve. All batteries (sealed) have onboard chargers. A backup Navman GPS sits on the console. A wish list is for a Lowrance broad band radar. The bay can be suddenly socked in with impossible fog.
