First Day Fishing on my "New" Sea Craft

[CaptMick]

Hey,

Here are a few pics from my first day off shore on my 1985 18' SF.


first fish on the boat with me as the owner. We had a few sharks and bunch of Spanish and one King.


18 lb. 8 Oz. King- It was a King Tournament.


After the weigh in.

We did not place but considering I had the flywheel off the motor at 5:30 AM that day I think we did well. Still a few things to dial in but all was well. It has taken me a while to get her in shape and this was a great payoff day for me.

First 18' I've seen with the casting deck filled in / glassed over.

Very nice but do you not like having all 10 toes?

I agree with copout.....u don't like having ten or so toes do you!! My brother-in-law had numerous stitches (about 30) from a k-mac cause he got careless!
My buddies always wonder why I always wear shoes and not flip-flops or sandals for that very reason! Be careful and nice first fishes!

In my defense:

A. That is not my foot. Which does not say much for my buddy.
B. The only reason his foot is on it was it was sliding towards the transom due to the swell. The fish was doornail dead. Trust me.. I was the one who "over gaffed" it. A little too much adrenaline after getting one to the boat after trolling for 8 hours. Plus, and I know everyone has done this, I swear in that water that baby looked like a 30 pounder!!!!

Mark- It came from the previous owner that way. I am starting to like it. Just a bit hard on occasion getting the anchor out. I plan on putting a hatch on the bow and a few other details up there to improve the usability. The only thing I really do not like is the old hatch cover for the fish box is gone so I currently carry an extra cooler when I go out.
