Pretty cool I am excited. I have lots of room for fisherman on the boat I'd like to take some ice shanty guys out to sea for days of fishing, cod/haddock trips, striped bass, and giant tuna wishing. If you are interested PM, Im not looking to make money but would like help feeding the two heavy drinkers on the back.

That is going to be a blast this year. I've only gone stripper fishing once off of Nauset beach. In about six hours we pulled in about 40 huge strippers. One of the best fishing experiences of my life. My friends and I were talking about bringing kayaks down this year and trying for them. Maybe we can meet up one day. I don't think many people on here can appreciate what a fantastic offer you have make. Tight lines!

Sweet Boat

Awesome rig! I love Yamaha outboards, too. Had great luck with them, but it's been many years since I had a boat. Where do you usually fish out of for stripers, etc WMHUNTS? We always spend a week or 2 in the Hampton, NH area in August and would love to take my son out for some striper fishing sometime.

dave bartlett · « **Reply #16 on:** Apr 01, 2014, 09:48 AM »

wmhunts,
I do like your boat.Actually i like it better than mine.I love that style.Looks clean to.I'm sure you will have a blast.I take it it's a 26 ft?

Nice Pair - a fishing beast built for the big lake - Champlain!

I went over the bridge this afternoon and for the 1st time in a long while there's open water below with a few guys fishing on the backside of Chimney Point.

Sorry scrambler I cleared it out. Ive been trying to save personal messages with good info, but I guess there is a limit. Try to pm me again
The boat is actually almost 30 ft. I don't know why its called a 260 its 28ft to the pulpit and the pulpit is another foot and a half. I was just in her dreaming. Knock on wood for 25 yrs old I'm amazed how everything I mess with is still working. So excited I'd like to take everyone fishing. If you pm me about fishing please include your phone number and I'll save it to my phone and be in touch when I'm lookin for mates.
The boat will be staying in Gloucester MA for the season unless I find better fishing elsewhere. Cape anne is a great place to keep a boat because its a big point that sticks way out in the ocean making the runs to fishing grounds closer.

Dave .. get a hold of me and we can do some fishing!! I was charter captain for many years and i can show you allot when it comes to fishing with downriggers, planner boards, etc. I still have a ton of gear and lures. trolling is an art form in my book, and having the right electronics is key. What kind of riggers do you have??
