welcome aboard. if you own a bay or flats boat somewhere between Sabine Pass and Port Mansfield, you are in the right place. it is small on purpose. Boats and rigging covers the hull, the motor, the plate, the trailer and the electronics. Fishing the coast covers where, when and on what. Buying and auctions covers the money end, dealers, private sales, repos, auctions, what you paid.

the rules fit on a napkin. year, hull, motor and hours on every boat question. nobody sells anything in a thread, ever, and i am not adding a classifieds board so do not ask. anybody on a dealer's, broker's or auction's payroll says so up front instead of playing customer. burn a spot if you want, it is your spot, but the thread will go quiet on you. a mod who moves or locks something will leave a line saying why.

accounts are by request for now, i am still sorting out the bots. ask on the contact page, name the boat and the bay, and you will have a login in a day or two.

about time somebody split the bay boat guys off from the big Texas boards, the last one i was on had more kayak threads than boat threads. one ask steve: can we keep the Baffin spot talk general. i will talk rocks and water color all day but i am not naming the bar.

added a line to the about page. general areas are fine, GPS numbers and named spots are up to the poster and nobody gets to demand them. 40 something members after four days, not bad for a board that exists because two of us got in an argument about jack plates at Cove Harbor.

This thread is locked. Questions about the rules go to the contact page.
