i was lucky to get three buffalo peros from carson down at shady beach we lowered the rails and mounted aluminum plating and stainless steel screws and boat seats that are made right here in missouri these little boats are sweet i have fished out of a kayak for a long time this is much nicer sitting in the lap of luxary these boats are really easy to get in and out of i plan on renting these boats to people that will appreciate them there is plenty of room for coolers and tackle there is enough room for an overnighter more than one night i would take a full size canoe see pics keep floating Russ

old man ron, me and river rat scotty launched from the heaven headed to riverside ron caught ten or so on a brown worm rigged with lead headed hook scotty caught several on the same rig i was fishing a mini black buzz bait had been reading on the forum about trailers so i cut a 2 1/2 inch tail off a gulp worm dark green and hooked it on there casted right next to the ripples and WHAM!!!!!! mr big was on so i scurried over to the bank to get my phone out to get this pic sorry phil i forgot my good camera again he was 17 plus inches caught several more on it after that but none that big caught a few on the wacky in between casting the buzz bait all in all was a great trip and by the way the river is crystal clear right now you can see everything i got hung up on a log and when i got close i spooked a bunch of fish hiding underneath there i think maybe going with lighter line and staying away from the spots and casting in these fish have not seen hourds of people in a while keep floating russ p.s. welcome old man ron to the forum he is a local around here and let me tell you he can catch fish :D :D
