Hi Jeff, Not sure if know Mike or not, but pretty sure when he took Thornehead's Guide Service over from Arnie, he was running a 20 or 21 Polar Kraft. Might be worth a call. The hull design looks very similar to the Lund Alaskan, 20'. My Alaskan was a great bay boat and other water sports...

Here are a couple pictures of my dogs using the dog ladder unassisted.

Just a thought on the dog ladder. I have mine attached to the transom, it is aluminum and hinged and simply lifts up onto the boat when not used. By being hinged, it also lets you grab it if you ever fall out and are alone, unlike a portable one that simply hangs over the side and needs to be...

Indeed Dave. A trip for the books!

Thanks Greg. We had a tremendous time.

Thanks Carl. This guy was the only one we ran in too. All the other captains (mostly charter boats) were all respectful of each other and distance as well as not spooking fish. There was a derby going on the next day and our suspicion is that he was just out pre-fishing for that. Our guide...

Thanks Dani. It was a trip of trips. I could not imagine trying to get the needed leverage from a kayak to land a big tarpon. I'm thinking they would just pull you all over creation. Not to mention the sharks that flank the tarpon schools. But to each their own, we did not see one kayak...

Amazing trip indeed Kevin. It was not our captain that cut the fish off. It was other captain that had slid into our back pocket to set up his his lines, about that time, we hooked up and in his departure, he ran right over the line, cutting the fish off and entangling his prop as well. 250k...

Thanks Henry. I agree, they are strong fighters but what excitement with each and every hook up.

It had always been a bucket list trip for me to go down to Florida and tarpon fish, well no more. For my 60th birthday, Terrie had booked us a trip down to Boca Grande, Florida. We had 10-12 hits each day and we boated 8 fish in two days out. All the tarpon were in the 100-180lb category and...
