New James Gang is coming - 07/15/16 10:07 PM
Thank you to everyone for the well wishes. After 8 weeks of physical therapy and a couple of epidural shots in my neck and back I am ready to start fishing again. The old James Gang left the dock for the final time today to its new home in the Atlantic Highlands. I just went under contract for a new boat. The new boat is a beast of a fishing machine and I am hoping to start running trips by the end of July. Thanks JT

Jak, good luck. My shots were not bad at all, but I had them in an outpatient surgery center. The nerve tests I had were worst than the shots.
New boat is a Stamas Tarpon 340 ccc. It is a center console with a cabin. Overall length of the boat is 39 feet with a 12.6 foot beam. It should cruise at 26 knots with a top end around 40 knots.
I previously owned a 310 Stamas Tarpon and loved the ride. This boat should have a very similar ride. There is a ton of fishing room on this boat, and the ease of anchoring makes this the right boat for what we do.
Thanks
JT
