The boat is a Baymaster (look here) which is a specialized ultra-shalllow-draft boat.

The bay I fish is the Lower Laguna Madre, which is approximately 150 square miles with an average depth of 2 feet or less. Its one of only 3 large hypersaline bay systems in the world, a rather unique fishing environment.

Several local boat manufacturers have developed here to service the peculiar needs for this type of water (we call it "skinny water"). That boat is 22 feet long and 8 feet wide yet will run at full speed in 6 inches of water. It will launch from dead stop to plane from 18 inches of water. The hull has a drive tunnel which funnels water to the propeller, allowing the prop to be pulled up into trim so that very little of it protrudes below the hull.

Before this type of boat was developed, many people fished here from what we call "scooters". These were small home-built flat-bottomed skiffs with no gunwales. My boat (pic of culeroboat) is an example of a scooter (I built it in 1995, this pic is from December of 1996). The hull weighs 310 pounds and goes about 30mph with that 30hp Evinrude pushing it.

I love talking about fishing, don't get me started ;)

Ive had Johnson, Evinrude, Yamaha and Mercury outboards, and the Johnson and Evinrude's were identical inside.

Great idea! I go as far as the south end of the land cut from Port Manny, sometimes. I've always wanted to check Baffin out but never been up there yet. Maybe we can plan some fish-missions for later this season!

You busy Thursday morning? I'm gonna arrive Austin late Wednesday, and leave mid-day Friday, but will be tied up with business crap the whole time except Thursday morning. Drop me an e-mail here with a phone number if so and I'll call once I'm there, we can set up a breakfast meet or sumthin to hatch a plan.

Hehehe...don't let the way I described my glee with the other folks' misery fool you, when those big sparks start flying and there's big wind with ice balls in it I get pretty damned nervous myself.

OTOH, the hottest redfish action I have ever seen has been when there's storms in the vicinity. So there can be trade-offs ;)

My handle was given to me many years ago when I used to indulge in illegal substances. Only friends of mine that I've known since those days(stopped indulging in 81')call me by that name. Well, except my squaddies, that is.

my call sign in game is Mosgoo.

When i first signed up and typed in the first letter of my first name "M" then my last name "Osgood" it turned out that the "D" was cut off and I didn't realize it until it was to late....

I always thought I would change it someday, and then when I left the game and came back... it tried another one... but missed being called Mos or Goo.  So Skuzzy gave it back to me  :D
