Virginia Beach Boat Show

[andertonm]

This year the show fills the new Va Beach convention center. Eight days, which seems a little extreme. Norfolk Marine has a nice selection of Parkers on display. Some of them have the folding transom lounge seat that I wish I had known about when I bought my boat. Would have been easier to add the tab to my boat loan than fork over the $900 or so after the fact. The only other cabin boat was a 23 Maycraft that was a pretty nice boat but lacks the finish of the Parker. I'm always looking for the next great thing, but right now, Parker is it. I think the boat market is oversold in VB as evidenced by slow sales and traffic jams off Cape Henry on a nice day.

Gotta tack on a picture of my Number one Grandson Wally's latest fish. He's the one on the right. Caught at the CBBT hi-level bridge on eels.

Mark,
That there is some nice BASS. What were the weights?
Those are the one ones we catch up here on the fall migration.

Nice fish Mark! I lived in Virginia Beach for 19 years (Navy transplant) before moving back to New England in 2002... My son and I caught a lot of nice bass (not as nice as yours) out at the 3rd island of the CBBT... Back then (pre-9-11) we would tie off on one of the pylons and fish live Spot or Croakers... I miss the long fishing season there in Virginia Beach but I don't miss the traffic/congestion!

Fish were in the 45 inch range, but because they were fishing in the bay, they had to release and didn't weigh the fish.
