Inshore
Fishing Machine
The Mega-Bite
24ft
Sea Pro - 250 4 stroke with all the extras.
In
2009, I added a Power-Pole to the boat and this has revolutionized my
shallow water fishing.
We
can hold up on a spot and work an area thoroughly to catch quality fish.
To read
more about this new addition to my rig, check out their website at www.powerpole.com
My
Sea Pro is a fishing machine, and with its
shallow draft and Carolina bow, I can ease into the
shallow water flats in search of specks and reds or head offshore--
9miles or less--on calm days. Whatever type of fishing you prefer, I can
take you to one of many reefs off the coast of Pensacola to bring home
some red snapper or grouper for dinner.
The
boat is also equipped with upper and lower control stations, so I can
spot fish from a distance
to make your fishing trip more successful. With a beam of 9ft in
width and a length of 24 ft, I can fish up to four people
comfortably. I also have state of the art
electronics for locating fish,
and also have a new Wireless 80 lb thrust Minn Kota trolling motor for easing up in
the shallows to stalk reds and specks.
The
workhorse of the boat is my 250 hp - 4stroke Yamaha. It has enough power
to cruise at a steady 40mph with four fishermen plus myself and a
full load of tackle, but if needed, the boat can fly across the bay at
50+mph. If bad weather moves in, we can get off the water safely and
quickly. The real treat of this motor is how quiet it is, and it
does not give off any fumes.
The
design of my boat can handle a chop, so if the bay gets bumpy you will
never feel it.
I
venture offshore when it is calm (around 1-1/2
ft or less). Many days during
the summer it remains very calm in the gulf. I stay within (1-7) miles of
land, so it's not a far run to
many reefs that hold bottom fish.
If
you're interested in going Nearshore for bottom fish or trolling for
king,
give me a shout, and we'll see if we can get you hooked up.
See
you on the water.
