    Wow, I’d say you found the correct pattern. We were down there on Friday, 10/22 but only managed to scrape 8 after a full day on the water. Good report.

    Great to see you on the water Sunday. Mike at HOF had gotten in some new colors of sonars and we were determined to try them out but it just wasn’t a sonor bite that day. Maybe alittle too early yet. Mike ended up getting his best fish into the boat with crankbaits being casted to the rocks-Mikes favorite way to fish. Mine best fish did come on sonars but had to work for it. Also had to move down away from the crowds to catch fish. Thats a really nice boat you have. Lots of room and looked like it handled real well. Care to tell us how you like it and its features? Thanks, Bill

    SHES A ALUMACRAFT TOURNAMENT PRO 175, WITH A 90 SUZUKI TILLER ON THE BACK.WAY LOTS OF STORAGE,2 LIVE WELLS, COMES WITH 3 SEATS. THE DECK HAS LOTS OF ROOM TO WORK FROM I HAVE HAD 2 UP THERE CASTING WITH NO TROUBLE.IT GOES 38MPH,WISH I COULD GET A LITTLE MORE OUT OF IT BUT I CAN LIVE WITH IT.
    THE SUZUKI I LOVE IT ITS AN EFI SO TURN THE KEY AND THATS IT TO START IT. GOT A VERY GOOD HOLE SHOT,VERY QUIET ,TROLLS GRATE. THE THING TAT SOLD ME ON IT IS THE ROD LOCKER, ITS DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRONT DECK. TAKES 10 RODS,AND 7 1/2 IS THE LONGEST IT WILL TAKE. THE SIDE STORAGEWILL AND DOES TAKE MORE RODS ,I GOT 15 RODS IN THE BOAT NOW AND IT WILL TAKE MORE. I SHOULD OF PUT A KICKER ON IT FROM THE GET GO ,BUT SOME DAY? I PUT THE BAG OVER AND IT SLOWS DOWN TO .5 MPH SO THAT IS NOT TO BAD.
    THE MORE I USE IT THE MORE I LOVE IT….YES ONE MORE THING ,THE GAS IT USES IS JUST AS MUCH IF NOT LESS THAN THE OLD 40 I HAD , SOME TIMES I JUST LOVE TECHNOLOGY NOW DAYS.
