I’ve never been on that particular boat, but I’ve made that trip 5-6 times on different boats. Always thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Anyone who goes will likely want to go back.

I’ve never been on a skiff. Sounds Iike ya’ll had a good time

When were tarpon fishing we shut the motor off to drift or troll. If we see a school on the move James will stay on the big motor until the last second to get us into position, but he’ll kill it immediately as soon as he gets us in position to cast. But for snapper fishing most people are typically fishing deeper water further offshore. If you’re boat only has one motor I think the best bet is to leave the motor on. It shouldn’t affect your fishing and it’s just a good step to take to minimize the odds of having problems and possibly having to get towed in

I’ve been wearing the Barts Bay Armor boots for the last few years and I’m a big fan of them. They’re fairly light and comfortable on my feet. I have a pair for wet wading and a larger sized pair for my waders. They’ve held up well and the sting ray protection is a bonus. I don’t think any of the sting ray protection out there is 100% effective, but I know the Bart’s boots have saved some people from a nasty sting ray hit.

We’re trying to figure it out. The discounts at the other retailers still work, but the Waterloo link is down. Should have a resolution of some sort by Tuesday.

I’d try a topwater or Paddletail on a straight retrieve. It shouldn’t be too difficult to keep a Paddletail off of the shell

Great explanation

Like Medicman mentioned. We discussed the night vision on Wayne’s boat for a few minutes during the livestream last week. It’s pretty impressive

No problem….. put it to work catching some good ones 👍

I had a roughly 6 month old Dakota lithium battery completely die on me one morning during a trout tournament. That was late Jan/early Feb. it’s being replaced under warranty, but we’re in June now and I still don’t have the replacement or even an estimated date I’ll receive it. If I were buying a new lithium now I’d take a close look at Lone Star Marine lithium batteries. I’m hearing nothing but good things from guys who use them
