The new boat has arrived finally! This is 23 foot, 6 inch center console manufactured by Sea Fox, rigged by Bridgeside Marine (540-719-2628) and outfitted by Core Fishing Tackle. This center console has been fully rigged out for freshwater and saltwater fishing, but specifically for striper fishing at Smith Mountain Lake. I'm using a Suzuki 200 HP- four stroke as the powerhouse. This boat will cruise between 35-45mph and max out at 55-60mph. The Sea Fox CC has a very deep-V which cuts down on the summer waves at Smith Mountain Lake. I'll have more pictures very soon and below is a list of the features this boat boasts.

Here's the Creek Bank Bait Spa. Its an awesome invention. Its a self contained filtration/aeration system that you can drop into your livewell, barrel, cooler, etc so that you can keep bait alive. This works alot better than regular Aerators because it has the venturi system from Creek Bank Bait Tanks that provide micro bubbles, which aerates the water much better. The filter system will allow you to keep gizzards too! Check out http://www.corefishingtackle.com/CreekBankBaitSpa.html for more information and pictures.

Here's my X15 and 111c that I purchased from www.corefishingtackle.com

I definitely recommend Boga Grips for weighing, taking pictures and releasing fish. If you looking to buy some Boga Grips by Eastaboga Tackle, check out www.corefishingtackle.com for great prices.
