I get a boat

I recently bought a fishing boat - an eighteen foot Parker center console. I love to fish, and living where I do there are few places that I can get to, fish, and return home the same day - unless I have a boat.



They say that a boat is a hole in the water into which you pour money - kind of like field trialing. In any case, I have the boat and will now start fishing one or two days a week. 

Pete, Bob and I will be taking the boat to Baja del Sur in June for a bit of fishing, cerveza, and Mexican food. 

I have fished his area before and the fly fishing should be very good for dorado, tuna, roosterfish and several other gamey species. Now I want to do this in my own boat, under my own steam. We are pumped for the trip...

I'd say Pete and Bob got the better end of this deal. Nothin' like a friend with a boat...

Indeed, I am VERY pumped about this trip. I think I have almost all of the tackle that I need ;-)
