Nope, I didn&#39;t check the calendar before loading up the new ride and taking off for our maiden fishing voyage together. and other than the river moving at 100 gazillion cubic feet per milisecond, there were no problems.I believe the catfish were all washed up tight to the dam wall with the water pressure bugging their eyes out. I did find two that accidentally got the hook in their mouths as they were being washed past me, 6 and 8 pounds, but they counted - and I have set a new personal record - I&#39;ve NEVER been skunked in this boat!<br /><br />I love the Minn-kota co-pilot and autopilot features. Control the trolling motor from anywhere in the boat, and with the autopilot it holds the nose in the direction you want!<br /><br />I just had to break it in, so I tied up to the nuke&#39;s concrete intake wall for a little while, kinda like being in training for the dams....................
