Mary manatees aren't that big, and I don't think they go that far offshore. We see them in our rivers often.
It was 80 feet. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. It was the first kitchen I ever had that had a dishwasher and trash compactor! I wish I had a picture of a catfish I caught off the back once. It was huge and by the time we grabbed the net I lost it. Typical for me. I'm a lousy at fishing. My husband is the fisherman. We had a fishing boat tied up on the side.
This was our first boat, a 1989 Invader Bowrider hooked up to our Dodge Durango in summer of 2006. Had a little 4-Cylinder I/O engine. Post #109
That was like a home, at 80 feet. We were fishing once Marie and I, and my Father on our 1964 18 ft Larson cuddy cabin and Marie hooked a catfish and couldn't bring it up and was slapping that rod and reel everywhere, Daddy and I were laughing and dodging the rod. It was funny. Did y'all have it for a long time?
Our second boat, bought in Jacksonville, Florida in 2009. A 1992 20' Celebrity Cuddy Cabin docked at Jacksonville Landing. Post#109 on this forum. Big 5.7L I/O V8 350 Engine. It can haul butt! Still have this boat, now in northern Colorado, but next?
Picture of a Sunday catch of Rainbow Trout, when we lived in Colorado before and had the Invader Bowrider. Didn't do any fishing while living in Florida and very little (basically none) since back here in Colorado. Weren't interested at all in saltwater fishing. Sold all saltwater fishing gear before returning to Colorado, but still have all of our freshwater gear.
The Bowrider was sold. We love the Celebrity 200 Cuddy. Have three rod holders for the gunwales. Compared to our old Invader Bowrider, the Celebrity can definitely "get up on plane and go!" Have a Dual-Battery setup on it as well as an Electric Winch/Battery on the EZ Loader trailer. Have had the Celebrity since early 2009 and have folder after folder of maintenance and repairs, including a new block.
Good afternoon to all- No boating nor fishing today- strong squall line blowing through. Here's a pic of me in one of my self-made wooden kayaks- pretty effective little fishing boats, they are.
We lived on it for about 5 years. The winters got to us and we finally sold it. Broke our hearts to do so, but anyone who's tried walking down docks in the snow and ice know why we finally gave it up. When I lost that catfish nobody laughed...we almost cried! I swear it would have made it into that book, Guinness Book of World Records. (If I can lie like a fisherman maybe I AM one!)
Good afternoon to all- Jake- nope, that's a smallish speck trout I caught at Bon Secour River down here in Alabama. good day to all- Ed
That could get rough walking ice on a dock. 5 years is quite a while. Some fishermen's stories can stretch the truth a little. May have made you a fisherman.
