Hey Rockfish, thank for the report on Manchester - just about decided me on Midchannel tomorrow. Were you out in front of the launch or did you make it over to Allen Banks? And didn't mean to dis your boat - what I meant by "short shaft" is does it have a short shaft (16") motor or long shaft (20") motor? Makes a little difference in the 2 foot chop predicted for tomorrow, if you can deal with that then you probably can risk Midchannel, althugh who knows, maybe Jeff Head's the ticket, any reports from today?
