Finally!! The new boat is here. The 22-foot Pathfinder Tournament has officially been signed for and parked in front of the house.

The maiden voyage was with my friend, Tom, down from Macon, Georgia for the New Years holiday. We went out the St. Lucie Inlet, hoping to head to the 14 Buoy for bait. The winds switched from the west to the north and it was choppy, but we held out for a little while to see what was going on. We ran into a school of 8 to 10 cobia, the biggest looked to be about 20 pounds. Because we hadn't gotten to the sardines yet, we threw the MirrOlures that were tied on, but only got passing interest from the cobes. There was also a bunch of Spanish mackerel jumping around out there. After getting battered for a while by the northerly chop, we headed back in and fished the flats for pompano and some snook spots.
