[quote Mooseman75] That is a nice looking toon, you really have it decked out and ready for war. It looks like it would be fun. Nice going [/quote]
Thanks for the positive words. I like it. I am hands free by steering with my flipper. Low drag. I can troll for 5 hrs on one battery charge.
[quote Tin-Can] Is that a fairly new tube? You got it set up quite nice, even nav and anchor lights [/quote]
For me it is new, but I bought is slightly used for only $350. I added the PVC myself after studying the master (Pat). I added the outside bumper bars because I was afraid that if I took it to Lake Powell I might brush up against some zebra mussels and slice it open.
[quote TubeDude] Those lures du jour look familiar [/quote]
Yep, I bought those lures from a guy I know. Hand crafted to perfection. They obviously work! Thanks again. I like your tree style rod holder but they were a little tall for me and would get in the way of the ores if I had to use them.
[quote RockyRaab] hardest strikes I had this year were from cats on a chatterbait. [/quote]
No kidding. Those initial strikes are amazing. It doesn't take too long for them to tire out in the warm water though.
[quote Cowboypirate] Do you have a finder rigged into that set up? [/quote]
I have a place for the finder and I have wired in a noise filter just to make sure the electric motor does not mess with the sonar processing. I am looking to next season to purchase the fish finder. Got to pay a few Dr. bills first.
[quote doitall5000] did you see the water temperature [/quote]
I am fishing blind. No fish finder. When I checked the report it said 70 F water temp. It felt like 70 F to my legs that were in the water.
[quote wormandbobber] different strokes for different folks. I thought that thing looked like a nightmare. I am wondering why the OP didn't just buy a small boat?

What struck me the most about this post was the footer from wormandbobber. See above. I think the "divine floods of light and life" were flowing hard and he could not be restrained from speeking the truth.
Yeah it is not a boat, but hey, I only paid $350 for it and my taxes are only $50/year and I can troll for 5 hrs on one battery charge (no gas), and it stores easy for the winter, and I don't need to insure it, and I also like the company - myself and all my alternate personalities. [bobhappy]
