Might swing the decision in favour of the Takacat with an open transom - e.g. nothing to fill up with water. Depends which way it drifts ! My boat generally drifts bow first but at a 30 degrees angle to beam. If the wind gets up to F4 then it drifts beam to sea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post captin slows old outlaw Posted April 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2023 Pool trip out. i was taken to Pool and we booked in the hotel,then we all walked around the key. then we found the pub we met up last year. while we were there Jon and friend arrived. we tried the brew , the conversation evolved around yellow balls (scooch eggs ). then went looking for a place to eat. We found a nice restaurant and sat down.then Suzuki and Mikey, and the banter continued . Neils ribs were cold , and the head waiter was apologizing, again and again. my stake was fine. we then all went back to the hotel for a fine all round. being a bit tipsy i slept well. Breakfast . The plates were a bit small but some of us went for round 2. We parked up and waited to get on the boat. When leaving the harbor Neal made a announcement about my birthday and presented me a new place rod and real; i was a bit lost for wards and replied thank you. nobody blanked ,with the weather being overcast and a bit windy and cold , but cheered up with some sunny intervals. all in all i had a fantastic knight and day .which will stay with me for ever. Thank you for making my 70th birthday very special Andy135, Geoff, daio web and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a shame that the weather didn’t turn out so good, it kept us inshore and made the boat swing around a bit. The driver did his best, he paid a lot of attention to what was happening and I felt he wanted us to catch fish. captin slows old outlaw, Saintly Fish, suzook12 and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 7 hours ago, daio web said: nice boat The boat is a weapon, at 40’ long it’s a very comfortable platform. At one point I think there was 16 lines out and only @Saintly Fishand @captin slows old outlaw felt the need to keep tangling each other’s lines. Though I think they would still do that if they were fishing off of the back of an aircraft carrier. Geoff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
