Maiden Voyage!!

Took the new boat out for the first time to get some fish blood on it!!

Was hoping to have company, but ended up going out solo...

Felt a little wobbly at first compared to my old BigYak bath-tub, but after a few minutes I settled in and it was ALL GOOD!!!!  What a great ride!!!  Loved having SPACE and STORAGE and how EASY it was to paddle!!

Threw back my first small rockie after a smooch for good luck, and then picked my way through 10 or so pinners to keep three big enough for the skillet!!

Then spent several hours drifting for Halibut...no love.

Even though the fishing was slow I had an awesome time and managed to bring home dinner!!

Good times!!!!!
 
Sincerely,

Jim

nice jim looks good and nice fish

Right on, Jim - great report.  Congrats on the successful maiden voyage.   

Nice dude. Sorry I didn't make it out. One too many beers with an old friend who surprised me when he stopped by.

Stoked you enjoyed your new boat.

Very Kool,,

 Good for you Jim,,,,, 

Congrat for drawing first blood on your maiden voyage.  Thanks for the report and pictures Jim.

look at you and all that deck space!!!!! Way to get her wet and bloody. Oh was meaning to ask what is the rub you use on the pan fried fish?

Awesome Jim. Glad to see your new boat is already being used to bring home some
dinner. WTG bro!

Grats Jim!  Been waiting on the first report from your new boat.. looks like a great time!   Thanks for posting and pix!

Right on, nice to get some stink on the boat for the maiden voyage!

Nice job Jim

Would have gone out, but need to work on my boat and I somehow got an incorrect wind forecast.

How was the weather? Looks nice in the pics...

Nice Maiden Voyage BigJim!  I was gonna head out to Capitola sunday but weather reports all indicated a small craft advisory with some pretty strong winds rolling through, from your pictures that definitely doesn't seem to be the case.  I should have made the drive!!!  Anyway congrats on a good day.

Way to break in the new boat! I 'm glad you were able to get some blood on the new deck. Look forward to fishing sometime soon. Hope you make the Albion trip.

Sincerely,
Jimbo
