Thanks for the info curt69,
My wife and I are rookies with boats, but have been pretty good putting in and out at ramps with docks. my only concern is my boat is closed bow so I would have to get close to the shore with my tail end in near the shore to get my wife into the boat.
We have trolled ririe, gem lake and today we actually put in at Springfield resevoir. this lake is way shallow for sure. the deepest part we trolled was only 7ft most of it around 4. We were only there from 9-11 this morning. we hooked 8 and landed 4. No keepers but all in 16-19" rainbows. These fish were fighters for sure, they kept jumping a lot, even after netting them into the boat.
Brown trout rapala and gold spoon worked great. We tried a blue fox spinner there is to much moss floating around and getting jammed up. First time we actually caught consistently at this place. boat made all the difference for us, or we just lucked out and they were bitting good today.
if the wind dies down this weekend hopefully we will hit IP.
