Thread: Slayed EM' on Jesup

Jaizzen, you're a lot closer to Lake Tarpon which is a good lake.

And here is a link to find boat ramps.

Boat Ramp Finder

I've fished Tarpon a lot, and I do quite well there. I fish hundreds of miles out in the gulf, a little ride to a new Lake really doesn't bother me much.

Thank you for the link.

Bitter's bait is nearby & opens earlier....on RT. 46 in Sanford Baggs Produce sells minnows, but opens at 7am

Might be easier to just keep the boat in Texas. lol
Curious about the fuel capacity?

My big boat holds about 400 gallons, 35 Custom Cabin Fountain.

So im guessing 3 250/300s?
A few years back, maybe 30, I ran "weather/seas permitting," a 24' Grady w/2 150s and 150 gal fuel, to the canyons off the DL/NJ coast pretty often. App 75 each way, plus 6 hrs or so trolling, and that on just one engine. Till we got back, we were about running on fumes, so I started taking more fuel in remote 6 gal tanks which we burned first, then stowed out of the way up front. And that required the proper pitch props, or it couldn't happen at all, at least as for the getting back part. Have you ever paid Sea tow to bring you fuel 16 miles offshore? lol

It has 2 300 Yamahas, it was costing built for offshore and lightweight, Kevlar.

Never paid Seatow but I’ve been pulled in, only with Mercury’s on the back!

This is it... my speck boat is far less complicated.
