Re: Andreas Toy Oscar Carillo Shakedown Cruise on his 43 Boston Whaler Outrage
That's an insanely nice boat. Awesome ice breaker shakedown trip with rum and sashimi!
You mention chatter bars. I was out fri/sat offshore. We ran 2 36" chatter sidetrackers and had them BOTH break, losing a teaser half to each bar after getting hit by 20" yellowfin. Once we pulled the bars into the boat the other side of each bar slid outta the middle bird leaving the middle bird and stinger line intact.
The metal bars snapped inside the main bird...somerhing I've never experienced. One teaser arm fell off each and the other stayed until pulled onto the deck. Brand new At $184 a bar I sure I hope they stand by their products and offer either a refund or new set and some.
Have you ever had this issue before with them? I ask bc I see you drag them on your offshore ventures. Thanks.
