re: Being seduced by big water: bay boat to offshore CC

I have a hard time pulling off an offshore trip. I do well to get 3 in a year. The stars have to line up perfectly for it. Good weather, people off of work, enough people with yard passes who want to go, have some play money to burn. Its damn hard to pull off. There's a part of me that would like to have a big center console but realistically it would only get fished maybe a dozen times a year.
