Thank you 👍

Funny you said that about the Penn Slammer. I just had one of the eyelets come off one of mine. I love my little boat. It's the swiss army knife of boats. It pretty much does it all in the right conditions.

@@NorthFloridaSaltwaterFishing how far do ya go out when the conditions are good? And have ya tried the Mizuno 7 oz for snapper? I crushed them last week in Dauphin Island Alabama with that lure.

@@NorthFloridaSaltwaterFishing thanks!

I have been very happy with my Carolina Skiff. I have also been very impressed by the 90 hp Suzuki. It sips fuel. I can cruise at 27 mph in fair conditions and get 7+ mpg. Obviously less favorable conditions and faster speed can affect that number but overall even on bad days I can avg 5gph. A gheenoe would be a good choice as well. Especially in real skinny water. It really depends on what you want to do with the boat. I feel like the Carolina Skiff will be a more versatile boat. I have had it in 6" of water and 20 miles offshore. I hope I was able to help a little. Tight lines 🎣

I prefer to be able to adjust my trim. It allows me to adjust for sea conditions and weight distribution. I also use my tabs to lean the hull away from a strong quartering or crosswind as it helps reduce the amount of wind spray into the boat.

Thanks for the insight 👍!

Thank you Tim, I really appreciate it! 👍 Tight lines 🎣

Will do. 👍 I will post an updated video in the next couple of weeks.

Thank you 👍 I hope to see you out on the water when you get your new Skiff. Tight lines 🎣

That is awesome! Congratulations 🎉. I hope to see you out on the water. Tight lines 🎣

Thanks! I was using live shrimp

It was somewhere around 30k out the door, then I added all the toys. I would be embarrassed to say how much I spent on all of the add ons....lol

Castaway Customs in St. Augustine installed the Seadek on my boat. It was somewhere in the neighborhood of 2K. That included coming to my house to measure the boat and install it. Up until then, my 162 JLS was their first. I would assume you can get it for less as they now have the measurements on file. Here is a link of the before and after I had the Seadek installed.

Good eating 😁

16' Carolina Skiff 162 JLS

Hi Rory, It handles chop very well especially for a 16' boat. I copied a few links to videos showing some examples. I hope this helps. ua-cam.com/video/YoYijpmpOQ0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Aj7v59gi-mU/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/qbhOCuzaG4M/v-deo.html Tight lines 🎣

I would recommend contacting the St. Augustine Coast Guard Auxiliary. Here is a link to their website. wow.uscgaux.info/content.php?unit=070-14-07&category=home-page Hope this helps. Tight lines 🎣

@@NorthFloridaSaltwaterFishing wow thats great, I didn't know coastguard aux was available either.

A 19' JLS should fit a family of four with two small children just fine. This obviously depends on what boating activities you are engaging in (fishing and what type or just out boating) and more importantly conditions. The JLS is a great gulf, near shore, beach boat in good conditions. I hope this helps. Tight lines 🎣

Yes, 2 1/2 years and still look and work great.

Yes, I will be posting a video soon showing start to finish how I care for my boat after a day on the water. Tight lines 🎣

I ordered the seat from Amazon and bought the pedestal at Cabela's.

@@NorthFloridaSaltwaterFishing do you have any videos installing it? can you describe a bit how you went about installing it securely and not compromising any decking?

Thank you. I will work on posting a video on how I care for my boat. Tight lines 🎣

I agree. Also, that 22° deadrise is nice when it's rough and you're underway but will rock horribly at anchor. All boats are a compromise. No boat is perfect in all conditions or applications. I feel like Carolina Skiff does a fair job of making a very versatile boat. I love mine. Do I wish it could make it to the ledge? Sure, but it does everything else so well and very affordable so that trip to the lege will just have to be a charter..lol. Good luck with your new boat ... Tight lines 🤙 🎣

Mind you that’s only 10-20 feet of water where I’m at

It would absolutely work for that. Like you mentioned, keep your eye on the weather and pick your days. I have had mine out as far as 20 miles and routinely fish inside 10 miles and I fish out of the 162 JLS. Tight lines 🤙 🎣

It was the end of December

Very nice. Good catches. I live in st Augustine and go off shore a lot. This Sunday we are taking the 26ft tiger cat out.

Very cool! I am Jealous. I will be working next weekend and my boat is in the shop. 😡 Good luck, catch-em up Tight lines 🤙 🎣

Yes, from I 95 and SR 16 travel south on I 95 approximately 15 - 18 miles. You will see a big brown sign on the right side of I 95 just prior to the exit. After the exit turn left on US 1 and take the first right (between the convenience stores). Follow that road to Faver Dykes State Park. The speed limit on the road leading to the park is 25 mph. The locals who live on the road are very friendly and helpful they do ask that people observe the speed limit in their neighborhood, very understandable. Just FYI 😀. I hope that helps. Tight lines 🤙 🎣

Not a bad 1 1/2 hour backup plan..lol I am sure you recognize the spot. It's been old reliable since I was a kid.

@@NorthFloridaSaltwaterFishing Not bad at alll for 1.5 hours. Surprised I wasn't there that day😀

Thanks, Big boat wouldn't start, and I wanted to fish, so I called an audible, and it worked out..lol

Yes, in all of my offshore and kingfish videos, I am using them. Other than the vertical storage rod holders along the side of the center console, they are all I use. The only issue I have ever had was using a #5 planner at 8 knots. That overloaded it. With smaller planners and normal trolling of any kind, they work great. (Drag adjusted properly, of course) I really like the flexibility of being able to relocate them anywhere in the boat depending on my setup that particular day. I hope this helps. Tight lines 🤙 🎣

@@NorthFloridaSaltwaterFishing Thanks that helps me make my decision 👍 Tight lines 🎣

I have a 2020 23LS and just can’t drill holes in my boat 😢 so this is a great ideal. Thanks again

Thank you for your comment. Fortunately, I haven't had to source any dealer only parts up to now, so I can't speak to Carolina Skiff's service. The hinges on my 162 JLS are GemLux so they are readily available elsewhere. I replced my front pedestal with an aftermarket adjustable leaning seat. If my rear breaks, I have the old front as a backup. 🤞 Tight lines 🤙 🎣

Thank you! I appreciate that. Tight lines 🤙 🎣

Thanks!

Hi Adam, I prefer the Minn Kota to the MotorGuide but not $700 more. My MotorGuide does the job. The Minn Kota just has some features I prefer. If I were in your shoes, purchasing a new motor for my boat and the MotorGuide was $700 less, there would be a MotorGuide hanging off the front of my boat. Just my opinion. Hope this helps.

@@NorthFloridaSaltwaterFishing Thank you for advice

Thank you! Tight lines 🤙 🎣

​​​@@NorthFloridaSaltwaterFishingI have a 2022 Wellcraft 162 man I'm telling you guys think you have to have a big boat but the smaller boats are just as good and better on gas😂

I absolutely agree. The only thing my boat can't do is take me out far enough for Wahoo, Tuna and Mahi. I like to charter a trip or two a year to reach out and catch those. That is a lot cheaper than paying the big boat payment and fuel. I love to kingfish and my boat is perfect for that and I can go all day for less than $20 😁

@@NorthFloridaSaltwaterFishing - Agreed. I would rather have a small boat with low costs and more days on the water than a big boat with big gas bills. I can catch bigger fish inshore than a lot of offshore guys catch and spend 1/10th of what they do on gas, bait, and time. Well played sir and well said. 😏

@@NorthFloridaSaltwaterFishing sad thing is most big brand boat company know this and have stop making smaller boats Wellcraft stop making the 16-18 trying to make people go bigger really sad for the company because they are going to lose more business than they are trying to make

Hi, Curaco, is that Venezuela? I am not familiar with the preferred equipment and baits for that area. In my area, North Florida, natural baits such as ballyhoo using a conventional trolling speed, approximately 6 - 8 knots, or high-speed trolling at 15 - 18 knots pulling artificial lures is the go to for Wahoo. High-speed would not be an option with the boat you described. The conventional troll would work for Bonito as well. Snapper, on the other hand, are usually targeted bottom fishing with natural bait local to your waters. As far as a bottom machine goes, Lowrance, Simrad, Garmin, and Furuno are all quality equipment. Personal preference on options, local availability, and price on models available in your area would probably determine which one is right for you. Most expensive is not always better. I hope this helps some, Tight lines 🤙 🎣

MAKE IT EASY AND HELP ME WITH YOUR KNOWLEDGE Just name me the best fishfinder for deep and shallow water name me the brand and model in your opinion oi wil buy it room the US by internet. Your best wahoo lure

Hello, and yes, I have been thinking about doing something along those lines. I have had several other people contact me and express an interest in fishing with me. I would love to. I am looking into the details of how I should go about it with it being associated with my channel. I will hopefully have the details ironed out soon and let you guys know. I think it would be a lot of fun.

Thank you! I know it's been a while. I hope to get back on the water soon. Tight lines 🤙 🎣

Thank you very much! I know it's been a while since I last posted a video. Work and the holidays got in the way. I hope to get back on the water soon. Tight lines 🤙 🎣
