Do you do most of your fishing on a private boat, partyboat or beach?
I never spend much time on head boats,last year I was running a pos 21' sea boss cc ,I didnt like it so I traded it in on a 22' sea hunt that I will be picking up before flounder season starts ,I fish the waters about 2-3 days a week when I am not fishing I run turtle lines in my jon boat {2 times a week } .

Whatsa "turtle line?":confused:I have a permit through the state on nj to catch unlimmited snapping turtles ,so I spend free time back in swamps in my jon boat.I been doing it for 20 years at least and my wife and I enjoy eating them so I fill my freezer.most days I only take what I feel like cleaning it is hard work and time consuming

Awesome pics

I had to "dispatch" one in my backyard a few years back. It grabbed my dog by the muzzle and tore him up pretty good. I popped him with a .22 in the head and the thing went berzerk so I had to put a couple more rounds into it before it died. I never thought to mount it but that thing was big and nasty! Thanks for sharing the pics.
