New 72′ Bayliss "Old Reliable"-Capt. Chip Shafer Bridge Layout Cont'd

Part 13 of 13: Captain Chip Shafer tells us how he likes to set up his autopilot. Shafer also looked back on fishing and how he believes there is now more opportunity for fishing teams to win tournaments than ever before. But in the end it's all about enjoying being out on the water. ​
Old Reliable splashed in July of 2021. The customized craft was purpose built for chasing billfish on fly and recently prepped for a multi-year Pacific tour.
And the day before Old Reliable shipped out, Nick Smith and Capt. Chip Shafer provided InTheBite with a guided walk-through to talk about the boat’s personal touches and offshore capabilities. It is rare to see a boat so personally customized for one goal and that is chasing and catching billfish on fly.
