LittleRedFisherman Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 I"ve used the boat on the Eleven Point mostly up till this weekend, but we hit the big tailwater at Calico Rock this weekend. Bull shoals running 4 units, and Norfork running 2. It did great in the current, somebody had said that they can move around in the current, I didn't have that problem at all. The boat does not rare up at slow speeds, it basicall like you said about the levitating, "I"ll have to remember that one".. You can tell it just lifts up in the water the faster it goes. Not sure about top speed, dont have a gps, but it goes along fine with a 25 jet, and 3 guys over 200 pounds plus gear. I can easily clear 5 inch water. We fished all day at Calico this weekend, running at least 10 miles of run time, I bet I didn't use even 2 gallon of fuel. Some credit may have to go to the 4 stroke Merc on that. It steers fine, of course it wont corner like a semi V like my war eagle, but it will corner somewhat. There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!
gotmuddy Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I know a guy that has a good gps app on his waterproof cellphone...just sayin. BTW, today on 11pt me and a passenger hit 20.7mph in my boat. everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
LittleRedFisherman Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 That's great, just the right speed really. Where did ya'll fish at? Would of been a good day to go, I was home today with my sick 3 year old. We need to go sometime next month, I'm wanting to try some brown trout in feburary on the White, perfect time of year. There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!
gotmuddy Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I am game, just let me know. We fished the narrows, the fishing was rough. I did catch a new PB pickerel, 22" and we played on the river some. We went up about 6 miles, I learned alot about my jet today, like the easiest way to get rocks out of the intake everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
LittleRedFisherman Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 Sounds like you went up a long way. Is there some good looking water up from where you was catching the Pickeral last time we were there? I like the area that has the slack water with all the logs, lots of largemouth in there to. There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!
gotmuddy Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 yah there are some deep spots up there but they are hard to get to everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
taxidermist Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 GPS in a phone dont worl everywhere ont he river, reason cell towers dont reach everywhere onthe river. If you Gps for speed it must ab a real GPS. I did run my Shawnee ont he lake Wed. with the 20hp merc its not half bad!!!
