HI FOLKS!

BACK ON THE WATER JULY 1ST AFTER TOO LONG OF AN ABSENCE. I SOLD THE 16' McKEECRAFT I'VE USED FOR YEARS AND HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A NEW (OLD) BOAT. A 17' McKEE WITH CENTER CONSOLE AND NEW SUZUKI 115 4 STROKE. A MUCH WIDER, MORE ROOMY PACKAGE.

I SPENT THE EARLY MORNING GOING THRU A FEW HOURS OF BREAK-IN ON THE MOTOR. EVERYTHING WENT PERFECT WITH FROM THE FIRST KEY TURN. GREAT HOLE SHOT AND POWER.

RAN TO THE OUTSIDE OF LITTLE RIVER INLET AND TROLLED SPOONS FROM THE WAVES OUT TO THE 25' DEPTH RANGE WITH NO LUCK ON SPAINISH OR ANYTHING ELSE. BOAT HANDLED THE CHOP EXPERTLY, BIG INPROVEMENT ON THE 16' MODEL. HIT A BIG SCHOOL OF BUNKER BUT NO TAKERS. THE BAIT WAS CALM WITH NOTHING GOING ON. SAW SOME FOLKS RIDING HORSES ON THE BEACH. THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT. FISHED THE MUD WASH BEHIND A SHRIMP TROLLER. LOTS OF BIRDS ON THE SLICK. NUTIN.

DECIDED TO EASE IN AND TRY THE TROUT HOLE ON THE WAY TO THE DOCK. NOT MUCH BAIT ACTIVITY GOING ON. NIGHT TIME WOULD BE BETTER.

ALTHOUGH NO FISH WERE CAUGHT ON THIS TRIP IT WAS AWESOME TO BE BACK ON THE WATER. LOTS OF SIGHTS TO SEE AND THE NEW BOAT WAS GREAT. WILL BE BACK IN A FEW WEEKS WITH SERIOUS FISHING IN MIND...
