Well, decided to give the ole girl a workout this weekend.
Just finished fishing a two day Dolphin Tournament down in the Florida Keys. Of course the weather forecast was winds less than 10 knots and seas 1-2 feet. And of course they were wrong. Lots wrong. Winds were blowing steady 25-30 kts and the seas were 6'-8' and a sloppy mess both days. Made it hard to even stand up, let alone handle poles and tackle. But I gotta say......the ole girl handled it a whole lot better than this old guy. It wore me out. But she performed flawlessly. Not a glitch. Not bad for 15 years old. (I wonder what that is in boat years)
We did make it on the leader board with a few decent fish, but not the prize winner. I was more than ready to head in at lines out on 2nd day.
The food and after parties did go a long way towards making up for the weather. And it's Florida.....who can really complain about Paradise.
Whadda ya gonna do, that's fishing and it was still better than a day of work.
PS. - Haven't checked to see if any pics came out. Couldn't hold the camera still and it was always getting sprayed with waves. I'll post some if any came out.
