Last weekend or so Flip Pallot went to the Bahamas in his 17 ft Hells Bay Skiff from the Keys.

Awfully small boat for Atlantic ocean access. Usually if you're going out any distance, a 54' is about the minimum.


I hope you’re trolling. If not, you have no clue what you are talking about.

C’mon. Look at the photo. It’s almost glass out there. There’s a YouTube chick Darcizzle who takes her flats boat out on the reg out of Broward.

54’ min. to go offshore. I guess only charters and mega millionaires can go catch wahoo, tuna, and grouper now. The red snapper are officially safe.

What’s your best wahoo, and sail? I’ve got a couple videos I can post of some sails and tuna we caught if you can show me yours first.

Black sea bass. They are frigging delicious.

Also, I don't think they are in Florida at all. I think they are somewhere in the northeast, probably out of New York. Black sea bass don't tend to get that large down here.

Oh, and Kimberly's tits help to MAGA.

Not trolling. 12 ft steady, even waves are pretty easy. 54' boat is supposed to be able to take a 27' wave. I can see that, but not when they're coming unpredictably, and from different direction. So yeah, 12' even waves are no big deal. You feel like you're still on the boat when you lay down to go to sleep.

Lake Michigan is much tougher for a lot of different reasons than an even, steady Atlantic with big waves. A little squall up there gets you called off the water in a hurry.

But I'm not here to get into my boat is bigger than your boat. It probably is. I bought it in bad condition, when money was easy in South Florida. The work got done cheap because I had a charter captain interested in renting it. After it got fixed, his lease payments covered all maintenance and docking, and the boat got paid off in under 3 years. He is essentially buying it from me. It's worked out well, and I've had some fun in the process.

I haven't been able to catch a shark yet. That's probably the last thing, and maybe this gets done this winter.

54' as a minimum thats crap. I mean I go out of Hatteras 6 or 7 times a year and you will be hard pressed not to find a boat smaller than that. You telling me you had that boat made custon in Wanchese?
There maybe 3 boats that big out of hatteras harbor!!

Hatteras the boat, not the place. What I meant is going out on the Atlantic. Like when I went to Cuba. Way out. 54' to me seems about as small as you would want to do that in. That's me. I value my life. I suppose you could do it in a smaller boat. Not me. You're more than welcome to try that in a 30' boat. That took about 15 hours. Way to many variables for me to want to do that in a small boat. I'm not one bit interested in that.

First off, if I put out at Lighthouse Point in rough seas, that's tough enough, and lots of guys get put on the rocks right there. Second, depends where the gulf stream is, but usually in rough seas, it's very rough right after getting out past the inlet, and not easy until you get to the gulf stream. Past the stream, depends if there are elephants. That's another story. Between the gulf stream, sailing east, or south, until you hit elephants, it relatively easy as the waves, no matter how big, are predictable.

So my experience, where my boat is, and I've been out in some pretty rough seas. Great Lakes are much tougher, and you'd be foolish to try this up there. Different waves. Lots and lots of stupid pleasure boaters get in trouble up there. The Atlantic is just different.

Outerbanks. Not familiar with that. So I looked it up. Protected barrier islands, fairly shallow water from what I can find on my charts. Nothing like where I go. Which is open Atlantic. Depth outside of Cuba several 1000'. Not protected. I'm in 300" in a fairly short distance form shore out of Hillsboro Inlet.

For not knowing what I'm talking about, it seems to me we are comparing the Gulf Of Mexico to the open Atlantic. Gulf of Mexico being very shallow for a long, long ways out. Where I'm at in SE Florida, it is nothing like that.

Anyway, I like chatting about it, but I'm guessing you wouldn't be very happy on a 30' boat where I go if the sea got rough. Tough enough in my Hatteras.

But we are now comparing the North Atlantic, to the Atlantic down through the Florida current through the straits, before it turns into the Gulf Stream. Gulf of Mexico from the few times I've been on it is nothing like where I'm at in terms of depth. The Gulf reminds me of the Great Lakes. Wave action is like a large lake since it is so shallow until you get way, way out. My GoM experience is out of Clearwater.

But I really don't have a Hatteras, and really have never been out in 12' seas before.

I'll be down late December through Feb. Pompano Beach. I'll take you sail fishing. You can do that less than 3 miles out. FLL has a wastewater release that stirs up bait fish.

It is what it is. It ain’t the shallow water Gulf.
