Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Re: Another solo session

Vern, your situation with your Dad got me to thinking last night. My Mom passed away earlier this year after a long battle with dementia and heart issues. Thankfully she was able to stay in her house with help from a caretaker. Being in her house was a huge benefit, she knew where she was and was comfortable in familiar surroundings. It was difficult being in Phoenix and her in California, but I called and visited when I could.

You are a saint for taking care of your Dad and making sure he is comfortable. Much like he and your Mom raised you as a child you are now taking care of him on the flip side of life. No one knows the commitment and patience it takes to deal with someone with dementia unless they have had to deal with it themselves.

There is a place in Heaven reserved for you, I hope to see you there someday and we can fish together.

Actually it was a girl that is about 35 years old, that's what made it really funny.

When you are on a Zoom or Teams call and your camera is on . . .

DO NOT lift one cheek and blow a loud, long, multi-tonal fart, especially if you are not on mute.

Just saying.

my two cents, try not to drill holes in the hull, see if they have a really good transom mount, more holes = more water in bilge.

get the best resolution you can afford for a meter/sounder. make sure it covers the depths you will be fishing. one key element is the ability to distinguish fish from kelp, baitfish, etc. while trolling offshore, this will enable you to see tuna and other fish at depths.

get a good autopilot with GPS will save your muscles and gas when trekking offshore. super to click a point on a map and it automatically points and steers the boat in that direction.
