Finally, Free From The Shore
For years I've been stuck fishing from the shore, making my rounds to various public pears and shorelines in the Baltimore area. Always at the mercy of the fish, hoping they would just happen to be where I was on that particular day. I needed to break free of the shore. I looked at buying a boat but quickly came to realize, I could never afford even the cheapest BPS Tracker, at least not on a state employee salary. A friend of mine then offered to sell me his old Ascend 12t and convinced me it was a cheap alternative. He let me borrow it to try it out and I spent a day paddling around Piney Run. I had a good day, caught a few decent bass but at the end of the day, my back hurt, my butt was wet and I wasn't really impressed with the BPS kayak. But I was convinced this was the way off the shore, so I started researching. I knew my budget and I knew what bells and whistles I wanted. Over about three months I learned every thing I could about kayak fishing and what makes a good yak. I made my decision and the day finally came. I drove to the nearest dealer, paid the man, drove home and was staring at my knew baby. A 2017, Vibe Sea Ghost 130 in the smoke white color, I named her the, "Saxatilies Specter." I took her out for the first time last weekend, launching from Southwest Area Park, in Baltimore County. The river was very muddy from recent rains and was all but unfishable. But I was able to put the Sea Ghost through her paces. So far I am impressed, bang for buck it's a great little boat and about a thousand times superior to the BPS Ascend that stated my journey. I plan on going out again this weekend and am determined to land her first fish. I think I will very quickly become obsessed with this sport and that's a good thing. Thanks for reading and may always your fishing be grand.
