Couple weeks ago I did my first trip on a skiff, quite the learning experience. I don't have good balance so that made it much hard standing on the front platform. Had a lot of fun though.

I see that big fat “G” on the casting platform of your “Hell’s Bay” Waterman. Gorgeous boat. Thank goodness Tom kept that hull alive. Thanks for sharing your set up.

I’m down the road a piece from you in Seadrift/POC. After they finish our bardo we will be calling to book a trip! Absolutely love the HB! I built the micro version and next winter will be building a little bigger one of Chris Morejohn’s plans (old HB designer/builder). Peace and tight lines…~Micheal

This premise and content is really fantastic. I’ve always wished more guides would give an “inside look” on the way they run things. A guides’ fly box channel would be killer. Thanks for the knowledge!

Beautiful skiff. I have a 2002 17.8 Whipray that is showing its age. I am wondering how your experience was with the factory refurbish and what did it cost? I made an inquiry to them and they kind of acted like they didn't want to do it. I love my boat but know that I could love it even more!
@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing
Жыл бұрын
I don't know how much it cost. Original owner had it done right before I got it. I have a couple of clients wait 18 months to get a new Waterman built, so I'm sure restorations are pretty low priority now.

I live down the road from you In corpus. We have a lot of wind as i'm sure you know. How does your skiff handle heavy chop?

A lot better than you would think. Trim tabs make a huge difference. It's not a bay boat but I can usually get around unless it's too windy to fly fish.

They keep the line from getting blown off the deck. I didn't realize I left that part out until after I uploaded the video.
