The fishing might pay for the gasSame. My wife and I are dying to get a 23-25 foot center console. Once I find dockage I’m buying one.
But yeah the fishing will definitely help pay for the boat.

Lol true. Well after a few years of fishing it will help ease the burden a bit. I’m not looking for a brand new boat but even used are $$The fishing might pay for the gas

The fish just keep getting bigger. New personal best tonight at over 48 inches and 42 pounds. The auction scale is biased low so it’s a minimum of 42 pounds.
What a fight. There were 50+ boats in the area and I was convinced someone ran over my line lol. Drag locked up real tight and it just kept ripping line. Took about 10 minutes to get in even with the drag tight. View attachment 776013View attachment 776014

And to top it all off we maxed out at 15 fish. We caught a bunch more but released them. Only took like an hour an 30 minutes or so to max out. All monster bass. Had a couple others that were 48 inches and close to 40 pounds.
What a blast!View attachment 776017View attachment 776018
Yeah, the rec fishing limit is bullshit when the commercial guys kill everything. It's got me half tempted to get my commercial tag when I get my boat on the water.Not bashing the commercial fishing, but I get quite annoyed at the size restrictions and limits because the ''decline'' in stripers is due to recreational fishing.
Yeah I don’t get it. Makes 0 senseNot bashing the commercial fishing, but I get quite annoyed at the size restrictions and limits because the ''decline'' in stripers is due to recreational fishing.
