Hello New Friends on the West End!!
Hello all my new WEST END friends...
Quick history on myself... My wife and I are about to close on a relatively new house on Tiki. After careful consideration of the all the bays, we decided on the west end because we love the area, homes, lifestyle, and people that we'v met so far. Im a long time salt but unfortunately west bay is the only bay that i DONT know. Fished it a few times but that was many years ago.. After reading numerous posts on this awesome website about the hazards in west bay- literally, Im concerned/scared....LOL.. Im aquiring maps, looking over google earth etc..
Im in the market for a new (or recently new) shallow running boat. Everyone has their opinion and what works best but its truly what you want out of boat that matters...
I want to be able to run into Greens, Chocolate, and few others in whatever I purchase. My history in skinny boats was the years I fished on my dad's 20ft Shoalwater. I have little to no desire to run offshore. I love nothing more than wade fishing early in the morning.. My only question IS: would a 23-24 ft Majek, El Pescador, Shoalwater,etc really be TOO big to run in the back bays.. ??? I really want a skinny boat between 21-24 ft... Any responses is greatly appreciated.
Again, I am so looking forward to meeting some fishing friends/neighbors and slowly learning the west end for some awesome fishing. As well, it looks like there are several fishing tournaments throughout the year! WE ARE SO EXCITED...
I look forward to meeting many many of y'all !! I love reading all the information on the website: it really is informative !!
FISH'ON my friends...
