Sold my old Sea Pro guy I have known for years (he actually coached my son in HS Football ).
He and his son had been itching to get into striper fishing and saw my boat at boat mechanic and he let him know I was selling it
Always nervous selling something to someone you know but boat is in great shape
Told them I would take them striper fishing but last weekend I was on “covid protocol” due to wife having it for second time so I could not go. THey called me several times asking questions but had no luck
Told them only day I had was today (Sunday ) if they wanted me to go Actually get a little nervous taking someone else, know what I am doing but as we all know sometimes fish just do not bite
suggested to them to leave their stuff at home I would bring everything we need, I even threw in my U rigs and trolling rods just in case all else failed As much as I dislike fooling with u rigs they do catch fish when nothing else will
We got to one of my go to spots and thinking surely I can put them on at least 1-2 fish
Ended up with first fish being a nice largemouth, they realized very quickly they had been doing planer boards wrong , and at least no skunk but not what I was after
End of day they caught 6 very nice stripers and had a blast , largest one pushing 12lbs or so
Sometimes you forget how much fun it is seeing others do things for the first time.
