Nice man! What kind of water temps were you seeing out there?

That sucks man, I can definitely understand where you're coming from.

Still two weeks left in March, talk to the guy and let him know you'd like the boat before April.

I dunno if much beats trolling with planner boards in the spring (especially for browns) but you should have no problems getting into a few fish by casting. You'll definitely have to put the hours in as the fish need to come to you (as opposed as you getting to the fish when trolling)

Some people are idiots (ie the ones calling 911 because their TV got interrupted)

Don't question that! IT'S REAL!

I asked a question, it wasn't accusatory, it was simply opening up a conversation about the species in question. Some of you guys are more sensitive then 16 year old girls, lol

Sauger in Gbay? Small walleyes will have big spots and look almost identical to their cousins

He might be a clown but he's right.

If you want big water ride quality, a 18ft aluminum isn't going to give it to you, doesn't really matter who makes it. I've got pretty much exactly what you described (Lund 1700 Pro Sport).. It can take big, rough water with ease, but if you've gotta get up and go it's going to be a rough ride even if you've got it trimmed all the way out. Only thing that would make it a lot easier on your back would be some suspension seats which are $$$$...

Can I fish for salmons here?

Ahhh, ok now that's pretty slick.

It doesn't slip off, it breaks. But he simply attaches a new weight without having to redo his entire rig. No real difference between that at a 3-way swivel.

Lots of everything over that way. Great place to fish that's for sure.

Chemtrails, lol!

I don't think anything is official yet, but that's pretty much what everyone thinks is coming down the pipe. Who elected these people again?

In that price range you'll do much better on the used market. +1 for the max HP club. Can't imagine out Lund with anything smaller in the motor department.

Locals didn't toss you off the pier? lol. What a gong show that place can be. Nice fish!

Should have stepped into the water, problem solved.

I saw two snowys on telephone poles last week on the marsh while I drove to and from the city for work. Plain as day out for anyone to see. Too bad people don't look!

Bombs away!

Agreed, I wouldn't waste my time with a slow presentation like that for specs. Spinners tipped with a piece of worm, spoons, small cranks, etc.

I've seen what a propeller can do first hand (Loss of a childs leg). You can think that was a prop all you want.

A prop would have ripped that fish apart. Unless maybe we're talking a Minn Kota or something.

If it was a bird it would have puncture wounds, not scrapes. I'd guess another big big fish.
