Boatyard blues

Been way too busy giving the ole Rock Solid much needed love and attention.  Cutting off spray rails, grinding, sanding, ripping out juniper,  priming, painting, jacking up boats, screwing and gluing, glassing, primer coating, sanding off guey primer coats, wiping, topcoating, cleaning,  painting washboards, painting decks, bottom painting, welding, and more.  Butttttttt we are getting there.  Special thanks to all my friends whom have helped me get through this arduous process!!!  Wish I was a high roller and could pay someone to do the work but when you are living the dream as a charter boat captain sometimes you gotta pay the piper.  There is no time for these things after March because we go with no big breaks.  So looking forward to getting down to Destin to try to whack on some cobia.  Full Pull got a 93lber (cobia) a day ago!!!  Fishing wise I slipped off the beach with the Macintosh crew for our yearly bluefin whacking.  We got whacked  with 20 minutes of trolling and a long, long , grueling, test your toughness fight on standup to boat this piggy bluefin at dusk!  Toro is yummy tonight!  Ches has slid out for a few trips as well.  Found a few thousand dogsharks for some action and a puppy drum bite.  Getting booked up for the 2011 season!  Also gotta check out this months subscription of Sport Fishing Magazine.  Cool article of cobia fishing with the ole fat capt getting some props!!!  Nice to get a bone every now and then!!! Seriously just a product of the environment.  Alot of great fishing and fishermen here.  Growing up here has been a blessing!
So no joke here we are gonna go catch cobia in Florida, schoolie stripers, drum, etc in NC and we are gonna have fun doing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
