Right now, our family is in a little dilema. We are thinking about getting a new boat for our fishing camp in Grand Isle. We cannot decide whether to sell our boat that we have now (a 22 foot Grady White that can be used for inshore and offshore fishing) and get a new bay boat, or keep the boat we have now and get a used bay boat.
The reason we want to get a bay boat for our camp is because although the boat we have now can be used for inshore fishing, a bay boat makes inshore fishing much simpler because it allows you to get in shallower water that the Grady White that we have now. However, a bay boat cannot really ever be used for offshore fishing unless there are virtually no waves at all. We don't know if we are willing to sacrifice that ability to go offshore.
Our family has owned the Grady White for about 10 years now. I have been on countless fishing trips with my dad and brother on that boat. There are so many memories involved with that boat, like trips where we caught a bunch of fish, or times when one of us has fallen overboard. The sentimental value of this boat to our family is making this desicion very difficult.
How offended do yall go offshore fishing and inshore fishing? If you guys go more offshore fishing sell the Grady White and get another boat for deep sea fishing , but if yall go more inshore keep the boat.
ReplyDeleteI think the flexibility of being able to go offshore and stay inshore is good, but y'all do have good reason to consider getting a new boat. I went fishing one time this summer, and I hated offshore fishing because of the waves. Inshore was much better!
