This is only a test! This is a test of the Santa Fe Eric Bay Fishing and Report Writing System.
Test # 1 Reading a tide chart.
The tide chart shows that the incoming time will peak at --- at around 9AM and then the water will start flusing out of NPH and back toward the Ocean beginning at around 10 AM. There will be a lot of water moving. Can Santa Fe get in on some of this action.
Test#2 Launching the Boat
Santa Fe has only taken the Porta-bote or the Kickboat to NPH and has never launched his Glastron in Saltwater.

Test #3 Fishing when the fish are.
Santa Fe is limited on time with home projects. Can he time it right and fish the Bay during his 3 hour fishing window and catch a fish? Santa Fe’s previous trips are about 8 hours with about 1 fish per hour on average.
On the water at 10AM

Test #4 Fishing where the fish are.
Santa Fe has demonstrated previously that he can locate the fish on his kickboat and in his Porta-Bote. Can he maneuver his Glastron effectively enough to get on the Skinny Water Fish or can he develop new spots and modify his technique to be successful in the Glastron?

Hello HESBROS,
Tell BW I needed a store that carries 4XL Waders. I still remember how nice she was when I returned those 2XL waders that I couldn't get above my calves:ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:

Eric,

How much time did it take you to train "Patch" to be such a great assistant?:Envious:

I picture you backing it down the ramp, releasing "Patch's" seat belt next to you, releasing the very nice ride into the water and then there is "Patch" proudly sitting on the dock with a firm grip on the dock rope allowing you time to jump out and get it tied off before it floated away!!!!!::ROFL::ROFL:

Great to see you back on the water again and on a new platform! It is so much easier to get around to the hot spots in those times when we are limited for time with more "Horse Power" even though the MPH Limit is a whopping "5".

All kidding aside!

Looks like you had a great time on the water and hope to return to "OUR HARBOR" again together my friend!

Oh! I almost forgot. Nice Fish!!!!!

Eric, I was so excited to see a SFE report that I had to read it! Awesome job on the bass and getting the Glastron in the water! It's good to see you did well and right in my backyard.......well sorta.:LOL: I was just there last weekend visiting with my apprectice after he moved his family into the trailer park right near where you were fishing. I promised to show him some fishing areas now all I have to do is show him your report.:Thumbs Up::Thumbs Up:

Thanks Steve! I appreciate the feedback! Patch did not actually go on this trip:ROFL:. The horsepower definitely hepled because the water was moving soooo fast that I never could have gotten around in the Portabote during this tide! Looking forward to wetting a lkine with you again my brother!

Your pup is getting big! Nice dog by the way. I'm glad to hear you finally broke the Glastron in on the salt. Looks like a good time was had.
Yeah G-Fish 2 years of being scared to dunk it! I'm glad that I did it.
My Pup is great and eating alot! See you on the water!

Labs are great! I havent had a dog in over 20 years and I am excited every time I spend time with him.
Johnny's Tackle Shop is the best! Especially if you need something fixed or to learn a technique.

Thanks Dana,
I'm working my way toward finding out if Parchers is in my cards this year. I really want to go. I had a great time last year! I know these things fill up fast. So I'll get on it!

The Maiden Voage was a blast! More reports soon!
