      Hey man, I know the new 18 is rigged a lot different and heavier in the water than the 16 you had before, but I was just wondering if the stability on the 18 is better than the 16. Like my 16 a lot for here in FL, but getting older at 68, and the 16 is not as stable while fishing as I might like, my balance is not quite what it use to be, ha. Thanks, looks like you have a good thing going down in the keys for sure, enjoy.

    Having the helm at the bow of the boat seems like a good idea to me for the area. Any storm, Cuban debris, or hidden shipwrecks could create a day ruining situation for the gheenoe.

    My fishin' trips in the Keys as a kid always began with a stop at the bait shop for live shrimp. Our live well was just a box built into the raggedy boat we rented. If we caught a few keepers, we were happy. Your bait-catchin' and live well are quite an upgrade.

    Your videos are great. I grew up in North Miami and my parents had a home in Long Key in the town of Layton on Zane Grey Creek Drive. Unfortunately it is no longer in the family but I spent a lot of time down there growing up. My question is is your home insurable these days. Florida windstorm, flood etc. Great pleasant personality. Very enjoyable. I was an offshore sport fishing captain for years in North Miami. My boat was in Keystone Point Marina in North Miami.

    Here in Louisiana, many of the commercial fisherman put the controls up on the bow, leaving the back for production purposes. We use welded aluminum boats which aren’t as pretty as yours but can take the abuse they see.

    The new ship needs a name on her transome. Maybe us followers can throw some ideas. I suggest "Mind Drain". Twofold meaning...form came from draining your head, but when out in it, you ain't thinking of nothing but the what's in front of you.

    Looking for bait for an hour....
    That is just one of the reasons I only fish with lures. Keeping in mind, my catching "needs" are much less demanding than Aaron's.
    I do like this live well. I like to cull fish..... So I can keep the best fish and release the others.
    NOTHING is dying in that live well. I've had a 30-gallon well with a 500 gph pump. NOTHING ever died in it. I've had 10 trout and two reds swimming just fine.

  • @robertbadger9971
    @robertbadger9971 Рік тому +1

    If you put the outlet hose at the bottom of the livewell you wouldn't need two outlets at the top. It's about water pressure. You can regulate the outflow with an adjustable valve. It's still awesome thought. Love the steering up front.

    Hannibal Smith: “I love it when a plan comes together!” No dead baits in 5 hours, in June, is awesome! It’s really a great design and I like that it can be removed. One thing I would add, just my own opinion, would be a latch or some kind of leash for the live well cover. Objects on boats that aren’t attached have a way of going MIA. I’d hate to lose that cover blasting across the flats, even though it’s recessed into the top of the well. Murphy is always a stowaway on my boat.😂 Good luck on your next trip!

I am getting there slowly. If you ever want to forge a knife or go fossil hunting I would be glad to teach or take you. That is what my channel is about. However, you are the guy. Your lifestyle is what I want so bad. I will be at Cudjo key for the week before and during mini season. I hope I run into you. I will definitely be spearing mangroves that week and cannot wait.
