I just wanted to share with you guys how the Maiden fishing trip went out on San Fransico Bay. I couldn't be happier with the ride, handling and comfort with the boat. Today was the first fishing trip out to see what she'll do sporting a new Pilot House. A couple of buddies joined me for a day dragging Popsicles out on Bezerkly Flats. Splashed at 4:30am and waited for greylite before shoving off. Hit some cleaner water and dropped in. About 30 minutes into the troll we find one. I mark a waypoint and stay in the zone. Picked up 5 in that area. The bite died off and we looked around the neighborhood for awhile and picked up 2 more in the box. Had one dropped and a couple drive bys. called it a day by 11:30 with 7 beautiful cookie cutter Halis and a Striper. My buddy James wrapped his line in the kicker prop twice, I don't know where his head was at today?? I got it unwrapped kneeing on the swimstep. Even with the crappy cold weather and me soaked to my a$$, sitting in that Pilot House wasn't too bad at all. Boat washed and fish cleaned we are on the road home by 12:30 to beat the traffic back to east Co Co county. I still have some things to finish up, but I can fish the boat while I work on those items. Cheers to the trips to come,,,gregg
