You will be surprised at the amount of fish you're gonna get if you bring your boat! You'll get to all tose spots that no one can get to by land or wade to if they have any sense. Be careful though, you're probablly going to get addicted to it and wind up trying to move your family down here for good!

Tight Lines Man!

Try one of the new set on top saltwater kayaks. There is a lot of areas in the bay where one will get you to some good fishing.

Your boat will do fine. I have a 16 foot Landau, and just upgraded from a 20HP Merc to a 40HP Merc. The 20HP was great, I just want to get from one side of the bay to the other a little quicker. I also have taken my jon with the 20HP into the Gulf several times, however, I just use good judgement on weather and water conditions.

Also, yes the salt will even eat stainless steelif you don't take care to rinseitwell after every saltwater use. You should also spray the engine block and components with Marine CRC occasionally, even for freshwater use.

Good luck!
