Work & Play: A Lemon Bay Photoshoot with the Angler Bay 181 DLX
Some days, "work" is just too much fun. Our mission was to capture the stunning Angler Bay 181 DLX in its natural habitat for our new catalog. We launched from Grove City with the morning sun warming our faces, setting a course for the pristine, mangrove-lined waters of Lemon Bay.
An Unexpected Welcome Committee: As we idled into a quiet cove, we watched in awe as a pod of manatees drifted by our hull. It was a magical, unplanned moment that reminded us why we love being on the water.
A Shot in the Dark (Literally): After getting some incredible shots, we decided to switch gears. The boat's stable platform is perfect for bow fishing. We didn't land a single fish, but the thrill of the hunt under the stars was an absolute blast. Not ready to go home empty-handed, we broke out the traditional rods and pulled in scrappy mangrove snapper and a feisty jack crevalle. It was the perfect end to a perfect day.
