Low Expectations Charters maiden trip 5/18/14

Less Govt, LEG3 and I joined stickman on his new ride for a day of fishing and breaking the boat in right…left the marina at 4:AM and had a beautiful ride out to about 130’ of water…mid 70 water temps and trolled to around 170’ and back…picked up 5 dolphin, 1 weehoo and a couple of BSBs…caught some decent sized sharks and generally had a great day on an incredibly flat ocean…light colors seemed to be the trick…thanks for a fun trip stickman, now let’s go do some camping!

yea, new 25 Regulator with twin 200s…honestly I’ve only ridden on a couple of other boats in that size range (the old 26 was not one of them)…and conditions were some of the flattest I’ve fished…so I could not really give a performance report card, except to say that it one hell of a machine…

Not too bad for no weed lines, flyers, birds or flotsam ( there was that 1 ballon), and no outriggers.
The riggers arrive today, the bases ,in theory, finally ship from Lee tomorrow ( are they really that popular they were back ordered this many weeks?).

Other things released to the ocean: AJ, porgy, triggerfish, remora, about 50 beers, one shirt, couple chicken bones.

The 25 (30 feet of running surface) runs soft and smooth and dry. Took jumping a slow moving sporty’s big wake at 35 mph to get some spray on the passengers by the stern bench! Nothing rattles, nothing shakes, quite solid. Flat deck, no step.

I lost my hat but ayejoe is working on securing me another just like it…fits my noggin really well…
