Funny how once they have your money, they just don't care anymore.
Anyways, enough whining. So I suck it up and go to the Yamaha dealer and plunk down a suitcase full of money for a new 225 hp 4 stroke.
Before the motor is installed I decided, since the boat is out of the water why not give her a once over. New bottom paint, new radio's, fix the leaky steering hydraulics, install the new gauges and so forth.
So, alas after much time in the boat garage she is launched with little fanfare, but she has a new and bigger motor on her butt and she looks good.
Of course first up on the menu is a fishing trip. Spur of the moment, out of the blue, the best kind. I tell Rosie and call up a couple of friends and away we go.
Nothing to fancy as we are still breaking in the new motor. Just some jigging on a nearby reef.
The day is nothing less than spectacular. A bit windy but still a cracker.
We head out and within 10 minutes we are at the first drop zone.
It does not take long before we are onto fish.

It was a long time in coming, but worth the wait. Great selection of fish!
Very nice, Callan! Nice to see you back on the water and catching fish with the everyone on board. Excellent pictures, too!
Interesting photos,Setting out for fishing in a boat, a fishing rod and some bait is not enough for a perfect fishing expedition. A fishing tackle actually consists of everything that a person needs to enjoy his fishing experiences and continuously he wants to carry out fishing.I’m also giving you more information through this website
