soko44mag Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 To say I am excited is an understatement. Its been almost 2 months since buying our Starcraft and I finally have her ready, I hope. Monday morning I will be heading out with my Father , oldest son (9) and two of my good buddies, one of which is a GL virgin. Milwaukee weather looks good, NOAA is forcasting 2-4ftrs which may keep us near the harbor along with everyone else. Its going to be a great feeling to have three generations on the boat. I want to thank everyone on this site that has answering my questions and provided feedback. Personally would like to thank Jim for taking the time to show what he has been doing to put all those fish in his boat this year:thumb: He's a great guy. Hope to post some pics and stories mid week, If not I will tell you how the boat ride was:lol: Thanks again!!!!!
GLF Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Good luck RJ. Hopefully you end up with a cooler full!
jimcr Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Just looked at the forecast , looks like we may try later today or tomorrow morning. Monday looks kinda iffy . Good luck
soko44mag Posted September 4, 2010 Author Posted September 4, 2010 Good Luck Jim. Monday is the only day I can go, so were at least going to check it out.
Adam Bomb Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Good luck, i hope everything goes well for you.
jimcr Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 Rj I wish you luck , we were out for 6 hours for 1 fish, check the weather calling for 3ft waves . Let us know how you do.
KJ pluggin Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 Taking a new boat out for the first trip can be an exciting time, have fun RJ! Hopefully the weather cooperated for you. The first time we took our new boat out we had 5'ers, it was a short trip.
soko44mag Posted September 7, 2010 Author Posted September 7, 2010 Well everything went as planned, but no fish to speak of. We ended up getting chased off the harbor by lightinng:eek: The boat ran like a champ which was the most important thing to me. We ended up running four rods for about two hours in the morning or so. I stayed real busy playing with my new Humminbird:thumb: There were only a handfull out on Monday which made it easy for me to stay away from the crowd and practice turns and learn throttle control. No tangles either , even though I had my dipseys running on the wrong side for a while:lol:
Priority1 Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 RJ, Well ya got to shake her down anyway. Getting the feel of the boat and gear are so important.
