Catch of the Day
Catch of the Day

It may sound like the testosterone level is a little high going out before or between storms, however, you can do it with out incident, if you pay close attention to conditions. When I say before the storm it's not hours, it's more like a day. I'm not going far, inshore or within a ten mile distance from shore to the artificial reefs. My boat is in perfect condition, I have towing insurance with Boat U.S., several Captain's who are personal friends wouldn't have a problem coming out to help me, and someone always knows my plan for the day. I keep a 360 degree eye on the horizon for storms, and with a boat that can go upwards of 40mph, ten miles isn't far. Don't take chances, but try working the storms, it will prove productive and keep you on the water.

Tight Lines & Good Times, Capt. Terry Frankford
