She’s back!

We finally got the Country Girl back in the water and she’s looking right. Just a few more days at the dock to clean the dust out of the cabin and get everything dialed in.

As of now, our first scheduled trip is April 17th.

The reports we’re hearing sound good. Bluefin still on the beach and yellowfin offshore. It’s shaping up to be a good start.

We’re ready to get back where we belong.

Country Girl Refit Update

The last two months have been busy on the Country Girl. We decided it was time to give her the attention she deserved.

My grandfather Buddy Cannady built this boat for my father Allan Foreman, and she’s been a big part of our family and our fishing history ever since. These older wooden boats were built right, and if you take care of them they can last forever.

The original polyester glass held up for almost 30 years, which says a lot about how well she was built. But it was time for a refinish. We completely stripped the old glass off the cabin, bow deck, and covering boards and re-glassed everything using West System epoxy.

Right now we’re in the fairing stage, which is the slow part. It’s a lot of sanding and patience — kind of like watching grass grow — so I brought in a little extra help to get everything just right.

We should be finished in the next couple of weeks, and I can’t wait to get her back offshore where she belongs.

May and June are filling up fast, so if you’re thinking about a trip give us a call and get on the calendar.

We’ll be back out there very soon.
