<\/p>\n

In case you are wondering why I have not written any articles in the past few weeks is because I have purchased a used boat, shown above. It is a 2012 Sea-Fox 16 ft with a 2012 50hp 4 stroke Mercury. I bought it for lakes and coastal ocean fishing and pleasure. I have had a 25 ft Tiara Pursuit previously and it was too much for me to handle alone.<\/p>\n

Recently we put in at Cashmans Park in Newburyport and fished for mackerel as bait and striper fished near the mouth of the river.\u00a0 I caught a small striper and tossed him back. The 50 horse is adequate and gas friendly. I hope to do more with family and get them away from phones and electronic gadgets and x-boxes. The boat came with a hummingbird GPS and fish\/depth finder but did not come with the coastal chip card for the GPS part so I ordered the chip at a cost of $125 dollars. In the Merrimack River and for coastal excursions it is essential!\u00a0 On return to my home we wash it down with fresh water and run the motor with a fresh water hose. More later…<\/p>\n
