Hey sister!
In this particular form or forum.....you can not slander. You can slight, libel, label or possibly pander, but no way could Champ slander ya!
Just saying.
I would second the Aunt's Creek motion. There is a lot of places to fish from the ramp to the mouth. You can hit almost any type of fishing available, except maybe steep bluffs. Spring is especially sweet in that area.
So on the one on the left.....are those fish between 30-60 feet? It looks like fish on the colored graph but in real time it is harder to tell. Must take a bit to get used to reading them!
Sorry for the slow fishing day, but I agree it is nice to hear it gets slow for the ones that do this for a living too. That Beck fella has to be one of the best. Nothing but respect for him!
I fished out of a many a Lund up in International Falls. They used to have a package they called the Rebel. Lunds are good sturdy boats that just plain old hold up. I like the deeper V and taller sides when the kids were little. I think Don House uses a G3 for similar reasons, such as safer for clients and able to carry more. It can also be easier to control in the wind. I moved to a bass boat for the fishing platform now the kids are grown though.
Nice boat. Lunds have shown to hold their value pretty well too.
I know you have the big blue tank that is perfect for guiding. Functionality wins!
The guys at AIA don't laugh at me much. At least not about my boat! I fished a tournament last year where a guy threw something through his lower end unit at take off. He fished Schooners all day long and used his trolling motor to get back to weigh in on time. He placed seventh. Some guys shot up the James and near Flat Creek where they were supoposed to be biting big! He out did some of those guys. Heck, I remember when I didn't have a depth finder on Rainy Lake and used a contour map.
With all of that said....I would still like to move up to a larger Skeeter with a 150 someday. Its the glutton part of me.
I have looked at a newer faster boat every year. When we fish the tourneys we feel at a bit of a disadvantage with the 90 horse. I love my little Skeeter and I love it more everytime I look at new boat prices. I saw a clip from an old Bass Masters where they were fishing out of some small boats with small motors. I wonder why everthing got so big and fast on the first place.
We hope to qualify for the AIA Championship this year and actually fish it! They changed it this year so might be even more of a challenge. We also are going to fish a few more lakes than Table Rock. Wouldn't it be fun to just plain wear out a few reels. Like to just go fishing a great deal more often!
Good luck on everyone elses goals!
You two are some of my favorite folks on here. I always look for your posts. Glad the checkup went well.
The Mrs and I are following your lead and are fishing partners this year in AIA. She is way hotter than last years partner and there is no way she can end up in the trees as much! You two are a great example of true partners....so thank you!
