I know of at least 4-spots down here where I don't even have to start the main to start fishing... simply fire off the kicker.

If I wanted to fish Manchester it would be a whole lot easy for me to drive 15-miles than to run the boat that far.

In Gig Harbor I could pretty much be at any ramp in the South Sound within 20-minutes and fish anywhere within a few miles of the ramp in minutes.

When I bought my boat last year, she had a total of 213-hours on the main. It now has 228-hours after some 70-trips. The kicker... now that's another story. She's pushing 330-hours this year.

I've spent more time flushing it out than running salt through it!
