[cool][#0000ff]I didn't recognize your "special" boat as one I had seen before. I have spent some time in drift boats on moving water, but haven't seen too many on lakes. But, hey, they are waterworthy craft and if you like the ride and the way it fishes then it's all good.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Always like to meet new BFTers, no matter how they are fishing. Don't be afraid to say howdy. We will be hitting that area more between now and the end of the year. And, the area just outside the buoy line is usually a pretty good place to troll up some troutskis. There will be more browns in the picture once the water cools a bit in the fall.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Yeah, ya gotta love those smallies. Dinks or not they all put up a good scrap. And, when we hook something over 15" on our light gear it is all the fun we can stand.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Sounds like you put in a full day...with three different lakes before you bagged it. That is dedication. You are a real fisherman for sure.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]No worries on your launch site. Lots of non PWC folks launch there. But, when there are a lot of the PWCs trying to launch, and a big pontoon craft ties up the ramp for a half hour, the rangers are likely to chase them off. I have seen them issue a ticket to a guy in a bass boat who had the whole ramp blocked off for a long time. Early and late in the year that ramp is still open when the main ramp is iced up. It faces south so it gets more sunshine and also the prevailing south breezes to keep it open earlier and longer. Everybody uses it then.[/#0000ff]
