Thanks Dave! and thanks for the offer for the FS 18 pieces, I just never got off the Cape during my crazy summer tourist season. Then my wood came, and i just cut the pieces myself. But I really apprieciate the offer, if you are every on the cape I'll take you out on the FS!PapaDave wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 8:29 pm You will love the FS18. I have not used my SK14 since finishing the FS18 build. The boat cruises with a 20hp and I use a SUP paddle to move it while fishing with the motor up. It is a small boat, but perfect for two and luxurious running solo. Fun boat to build and fish. Enjoy the process.

Re: FS18 on Cape Cod!
It was great to met Jeff this summer /fall at my local boat ramp, luck would have it he was coming back to ramp in front of me and I easily recognized his boat!VT_Jeff wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 8:04 pm Where's he going fishing? I suspect it will be wherever the fish are. This is a guy who does laps around Martha's Vineyard in an SK14, I expect hell be taking the FS18 to the Grand Bsnks if he thinks the bite is on.
If you havent been to the cape lately, theres about an endless amount of bays and marshes to fish, an FS18 will be perfect for all that inland water, as well as chasing albies in the sound when they're blitzing.
Build on/tie on/paint on!

Re: FS18 on Cape Cod!
Yep you need a bigger boat
Catching those abbies in that boat has to be pretty sporting. I went fishing off Mexico once and we got into 25# yellow fins. I was amazed how hard they fight. They flat wore everyone on board plum out.

Re: FS18 on Cape Cod!
Cant agree more about the bigger boat!
Albies are fun on light spin rod or a fly rod. Poor mans inshore Tuna! I'm glad you cant eat them or there would be none left in the ocean, as they aren't the smartest fish in the ocean

this is my watercolor albie. I did a good job, but can't come close to the beauty of nature!
Re: FS18 on Cape Cod!
a hint at a better conversational might be asking what someone does BEFORE you tell them they are building the wrong boat…fallguy1000 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 1:35 pmIt is really only conversational. The FS18 is a great boat for inshore, but limited offshore, so am more interested in hearing from OP about his fishing than anything.jonnymac wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 1:08 pm I think a few people need to open up google earth or maps in satellite view and look at cape cod and adjacent Mass again. There is tons of area both inland and along the coast a smaller boat would be better. Remember that New England rivers are shallow.
