Try happy holiday house boats. They're on the west side of the lake, just out of the river. Sinker

Who's bent outta shape?? Why you guys think I"m bent outta shape is beyond me?? I even had one person PM me and ask if I had a beef with him, and called me names...... ........good gawd.......you can't have a mature discussion around here anymore. I just asked him a few simple questions........still didn't get an answer either......... So, I think that fish is an atlantic.........get over it already will ya's I've caught more atlantics than many on this board. I've prolly caught more than most who have piped up in this thread. I've seen many variations of them.......and in browns too. Get over it.......I'm just fine over here!! Go fishing or something....... Sinker

Ok, so I'm a fool, I've never caught an atlantic, and I'm on some sort of medication. None of you know me personally, none of you have any

Whaaa?? I was just getting into that! Where abouts were you exactly on the island? It seems like its always windy there. Sinker

Its lighter than the plywood I took out of it by far. I took out 3/4 ply.....the boards are 1/2". Sinker

Who needs fishing when you get to blow stuff up! thanks for the pics! Sinker

Believe it or not, I've caught a few of those out of the east tribs back in the day. Not quite the hump like those ones, but they had the hump. I should have put one on the wall. I knew you were fishing up there, I just didn't want to write it. I still think that fish is an atlantic, but we'll never know. Sinker

Hope ya had a great day!! Sinker

Isn't the one on the left a Brookie

Listen up. I'm not trying to cause a rukkus here. I'm just looking for clarification. I still think that fish might be an atlantic. I don't think those pics posted are from Lake O or its tribs, but whatever......leave it at that, and move on, doesn't really matter. Some of you guys are getting your panties in a knot over nothing. I'm no proclaimed expert in fish ID, nor am I a biologist, but I'm not a newbie either. I've caught my share of browns and atlantics, and I've got a couple decades in on the tribs. So far, I'm not convinced that fish is a brown. It MIGHT be... ...but none of us will ever know, unless it was in our hands. It could very well be, and none of us can prove anything. I appologize to fishinfool for hijacking his thread, sorry again man!!! Sinker

Yep, I looked at your pics a couple times. I would agree that those are atlantics. Those are some large rivers your fishing there though, where abouts did you catch them? Lake O or tributaries?

Have you ever caught an atlantic? Ever had one in your hands? Ever released one into a trib around here? ............I thought so Never fished the nuke either huh.........hmmmmm........you know everything eh

But of course it is If the atlantics are going to fly, we gotta work on our streams first. They won't reproduce without the proper habitat. I think that's where most of the money is going.......before we can improve habitat, we gotta make sure we know exactly whats causing problems, and fix them from the roots. This takes time and money. Give it time......it MIGHT work. Sinker

Geeze.....I"m glad someone agrees I'd like to know the Key ID features that tell you that fish IS NOT an atlantic??? How can you be so sure?? Just curious..... ......please enlighten me. Sinker

Are you sure its not an atlantic??

Casting decks are for bass fisherman. Its a tiller, I fish from the back I can fit 14 goose decoys up there in the bow.......a casting deck would take up too much valuable space..... Sinker

How about you take a pill??

I didn't give him much choice.....it was either replace it, or swim

haha.......I got a deal on it. Cost me about $400 to do the whole thing. I also just used the cheap fence boards. No T&G.......like I said, nothing fancy at all. Just functional. Sinker

Gotcha.....I'd go with vinyl flooring over carpet. Carpet just holds dirt and water. The stuff never seems to dry. On my boat I used 1/2" cedar boards and left them bare. Its not fancy, but it works great, and will last for a long, long time. I put the boards in tight, and wet, and when they shrink a little, you get a small gap between them, just enough for dirt and crap to go thru into the bilge. I don't need anything fancy. I'd just wreck it anyways.......duck hunting is hard on equipment. Its kinda like having a deck in your boat.....I like it. Sinker

I'm confused......is the pic with the carpet from when you got it?? Or that is what you've done to it so far? Which pic is how it is right now?? LOL. Sinker

That IS quite the adventure!! No musky? Sinker

Nice work! I think I woulda painted it before I put the carpet in there though. Just a thought......I'm sure it will catch fish either way. Sinker

Love the back lake snowshoe adventures guys! I wish I lived closer to that area, because that's all I'd be doing all winter long!!! Awesome specks fella's, I"m jealous. Sinker

Like I said, some people just don't "know". At least the guy who broke mine was nice enough to pay for it
