Garmin Bluecard wanted
If you have one of the ”MUS011R garmin cards that you would like to sell, I would be interested. This the older 2D version of SW Florida. Thanks…John
Fiberglass repair
A while back I ask for a recommendation of someone that does canvas work and Glen B. suggested I try Tony behind Nautical Trader. I did that and he did a great job. Now I need help finding someone to do fiberglass work. If you know someone who does good work and you would recommend I would appreciate the contact info. Thanks for the help.
Eisenglass
I was hoping someone in the club could recommend an outfit near Venice that could make up some eisenglass panels for my boat. Appreciate the help….John
Bait Table
While the weather is stirred up I thought I would work on a better bait table for the boat. Does anyone know of a good source for Starboard sheets not to far from Venice?….Thanks, John
Heading offshore, Room for 1 or 2 more
I recently moved from the Northwest in Washington state. The fish and fishing style is quite different here and on my first trip out a few days ago I ran out to an artificial reef numbered M15. Its just a short way outside the Venice jetties in a little less than 40 feet of water. I figured I would start out just trying to catch something that lives in Florida. Well I anchored, dropped down some frozen shrimp on a 1/0 circle hook and spent the next couple of hrs. unhooking numerous little flounder and some little fish I assume are what I hear guys calling Grunts because they talk to you all the while you are messing with them. All the times winding in these little critters I never had an attack by a bigger predator like I would have back in Washington. I trolled some diving plugs on the way back in with “0″ results.
Tomorrow I’m planning on running out farther and finding something new. If a guy or two that knows the “what,where and how” and would like to come along it would be great. Or there’s a guy or two that knows as little as I about the local fishery and wants to go out and stumble around in the dim light of ignorance and have a great time,that would be great too.
My boat is a 2005 Striper 2101 walkaround. It has a single 150 four stroke Yamaha with a 8 hp kicker. Garmin 188C plotter/fishfinder and Raymarine C70 plotter/radar. For communication I have a Uniden Solara with DSC and a handheld Standard Horizon HX750S. I also have a “SPOT” onboard. I’m going to try to attach a photo of the boat. Not sure if it will work since this is my first post.
My cell # is 360-581-8370 if you would like to go out or just jawbone about fishin’.
Sea you on the water.. John
