You'd probably be surprised. I just turned 34 last week, but I have an old soul. I was big into anything with a motor from a young age, but I remember learning to operate my old man's boat in the salt out there when I was about 9 or 10. The only electronic it had was the old round light-up depth finder that really only worked when you were relatively sitting still and would only read what was beneath your stern.Way before electronics! You might be as old as me! Well, there is plenty of time for planning. I'm happy anytime I have a line in the water. Hope to get down to Charleston-Edisto-Beaufort area next week or so.
Edisto is my happy place. After I traded in my Silverado a few years back, I mostly keep my 25' CC "The Miss Mildred" (named after my grandmother who could catch a fish with a cane pole and a colored rubber band) in a marina on Lake Hartwell. I get it moved to a different lake a few times a year. I'm hoping to find a good marina on Murray before the summer so I can get in on the big stripers when they are in their deep holes. My flats skiff is trailered and it is a 15' extra wide flat bottom with a 15 HP Yamaha named "The Suboataru" that can draft in 1 foot of water. I take it to Edisto every year and fish the creeks and backwaters pretty hard. It's great for getting on the redfish, flounder, and sheepshead.
