Getting closer...

Saturday was boat day. We made alot of progress--installing new rod holders, cleaning and waxing, and generally prepping the boat for the season. I'm headed to Miami on Wednesday and plan to do a little fishing in Islamorada. Supposed to be sunny and 80+ all week!

We plan to drag the boat down to the Vineyard the second week in May for some fishing and filming. After that trip, the boat will be in the water in Boston and our charter season begins.

I'll post up some Florida fishing pics when I return.

Splash!

We've had a stretch of fantastic weather lately. Rich and I took advantage of it today and ran the boat on a shakedown cruise in the harbor. The new trailer is great and the boat slides off and on easily. It will be great to have the trailer to follow the fish and to be able to perform routine maintenance on the boat when needed. For the best of both worlds, we'll also continue to have the slip at Marina Bay!

Next weekend, weather permitting, we're planning to head to the bank for some groundfishing. Stay tuned for a report and up-to-date information on the arrival of striped bass into Boston and points north. We'll be posting regularly as the season picks up in earnest.

Tight lines for now,

John
