When only the best will do! A perfect fit: measured, tucked, darted and approved by Hurricane's own pattern and design craftsman. Vulnerable wear and stress points are double reinforced with an extra tough material sewn to the underside of the cover. An unbreakable 1/4' poly draw rope sewn with the perimeter hem enables the cover to be cinched tight to the hull. 1' poly loops are sewn around the perimeter of the cover to accept a Hurricane strap/buckle tie down kit, bungee cords, or rope ties for positive securing to the boat. Built tough to take the exposure and abuse that boat covers are exposed to when trailering, storing, or mooring.

Glad we held out for the weather today as we awoke to light winds...in fact Sonny had planned to take the Albemarle today but with the conditions and the fact he had only a one man charter and no deckswab he borrowed Kerry Milano's rice rocket and off he and Terry Dyer went...My crew wanted to play it easy..leave the dock at 9am and spend a few hours sight seeing and maybe catching a couple fish to release..they had already fished two days with Bobby and Shane and tore them up inside...anyway good day all around..Sonny and Terry boated 2 yellowfins early actually as fast as Terry could put them in the boat; one 70 pounder and one 100 pounder and the miracle blue marlin came calling..what do you expect when you leave the dock shorthanded...the fish hit a weighted line and with a 12 oz weight sliding halfway up the line it made for an interesting fight...when they went to remove the hook they couldn't find it..turned out the marlin had hog tied itself with the leader lassoed around his gill plates with the hook doubled over the line behind the dorsal fin...classic...about the time they were heading in, we were making our way to 93..trolled plugs around all 7 structres making 3 laps at each twice with not so much as a srike..goes to show you how much differnce 20 miles or 1 day makes... though yesterdays catch was far better than today's we made up for it with a few jacks and all the release reds they could stand in 1 hour at the Jetty's..fish were coming up in pairs and we were doubled and tripled the whole time..I even got to break out my 10 wt fly rod..it was a great day to be out there today..glad we stayed...Yesterday we had a great catch early..the table slam in Novemeber..only in Venice..started the day out with a triple..about the time the 70 pound yellowfin was about to be gaffed 3 bull dolphin came out of nowhere to slam the teasers..a quick shuffle with casting rods produced 2 nice 15 pound mahi..then it was steady action..about every half hour we pick up a fish..added two more 70 pound yellowfins and a 20 pound bull dolphin and a wahoo to complete the slam...headed in early.. Heard the best fish story yet..two Grouper were talking one day...the bigger one was telling the little one..'You should have seen this one..6 feet long well over two hundred pounds and I almost pulled him out of the boat but the line broke'. Not holding out for tomorrow, just glad I'm not a low flying duck...Paradise Outfitters 985-845-8006
