Not what I expected but still very much appreciated. I fish the berry all the time with my little aluminum so we were looking for something new. They do rent 16'ers at Buckboard so that's where we were leaning towards. We are going to be targeting the kokes - we have lead line and two types of dipsy divers. We were planning on fishing from when they open at 7 until 12ish and target kokonee from 30-50 ft down. I do have a fish finder that I can take but Im not sure how we would use it on a rental boat but it is portable as I set it up for ice fishing.
So if you all really think that it would be too dangerous to fish for the kokanee from a rental, is there anyone out there that will be fishing flaming gorge thursday or friday and wouldn't mind having two others on board for the same price it would cost us to rent? I feel confident in the gear that I have that once we are on the fish we can catch them but I am not confident in being in a small boat in a large lake if you all feel that it is so dangerous. At least the water is warm if something does happen right!!
Thanks again for all your comments!
