8/16 - In Between Fishing

In between seeing me on my Big Alloy Boat, wave when ya see me on this big red boat. And hopefully it won't be a "waving me down", because you in need of a tow, fuel, or a jump start. Or to be pulled off a sand bar.

Yep, in between fishing charters I'll sometimes be in the red TOWBOAT/US boat.

It's not Big Alloy. And I almost forgot the way F'glass feels on the water. But I'll have to let it slide, this time.

Next up: Tuesday's charter, then maybe Saturday and then a definate Sunday charter.
