I think it has gotten so bad at LOZ those "tuna boaters" are heading to other lakes TR being a prime place....why do you think they changed the dock rules???

can look at it this way, it will make fishing harder...so when its too cold to play on the lake the fish we catch will be bigger!

 

Actually the folks from LO have no intentions of moving to TR, so that's something you don't have to worry about.  These people are dug in and well invested at LO, they aren't going to sell their houses/condo's and leave the friends/family they have here.   It's way less trouble for folks here to just buy a bigger boat.  

Now the 28-32 footers that are being sold from here.....yeah some of them are likely turning up there, but under different ownership.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.   I think I'm trading the bass boat in for one of these.....

I got mine!

That would look pretty good snagging spoonbill in the spring

what kind of trolling motor would Champ need for that rig?

[Champ188]

Make room, boys. Here comes Champ and Donna. A mere 136.8 feet of sportfishing nirvana. Bet you could spot the white bass breaking at the dam from Eagle Rock up on that fourth-level tuna tower.

Where in the heck does the trolling motor go??

[snagged in outlet 3]

You mount a long shaft 300 HP outboard on the front.  Everybody knows that.   Or two.

The proper term is Bow Thruster, and I'm actually surprised that bass boats still aren't equipped with them to eliminate these monkey-nut trolling motors we have to dick with all the time. 

You just need a thruster that runs via a tube (port to starboard) and one in the stern.   Free up all that bow space and elminate impacts.
