Cant stand it anymore Surface temps are at 61*

Cam is stir crazy and I need a pull bad.

So the Baitkiller is rolling Sunday morning. Pre super bowl. Figure Ill skip church as God will be called upon as soon as I hit the water.

Anyone needs a drag c'mon down. No gas money needed. But boat driving skills a big plus.

Spare suits are a maybe.

Update: Saturday client canceled so we are moving the ride to Saturday from Sunday.

Tempting - you do anything else with that SeaOx in the area? Dive? Fish? Spearfish...?

The baitkiller has been relegated to wake duty and backwater fishing. I run a 34 Intrepid and a 43 Riviera for a private client for off shore duties. Not to say she hasn't been 25 off on nice summer days.

My good buddy owns Scuba Marco so we may be found underwater on the Intrepid or his boat as well. He is also found rafted up on Keywadin on Sundays.
(thats where we are getting the suits... Shhh)
Summer time Sundays finds us rafted up on the Intrepid or a buddies Fountain in Keywadin. The whole mother ship, pull boat set up. Works well because we usually have a bunch of crazy kiddos.

BTW the bait well and cooler plus the forward kill box full of water settles her down enough for a decent wake.

As we speak the local welder is fabricating a bracket that fits the rod holders to accept two board racks. The boat (any boat) gets real small with four boards on the deck.

Ocala is a hike brother. I'm in Tampa tomorrow. Might try to time my return for a set at revolution cable.

Cell is 239-248-7460. If its half sunny I'll ride. Maybe nut up and trunk it.

Im always on the road during the weekends if the adventure is right. I have family in the Keys, and Projects in Tampa, St Pete and Orlando so driving is not an issue.
I think Im going to wait out this cold snap - shouldn't be much longer.
My brother has the same issue with his boat in Tavernier - boards all over the deck. It gets really crowded with dive gear, spearguns and boards! I tell him he needs a bigger boat - he tells me pony up the scratch!
Underwater on the Interpid - spearing, or just diving?

Dustin has a couple of proper wakeboats.

I run my CC fishing boat with the kill boxes flooded for ballast.
