Eddy FM-Millelacs of FM-Millelacs's Marine on Mille Lacs is organizing a BCB owners group for the upper Midwest area. He is planning a FB page and an Owners Invitational tournament for Aug 22 along with other events.

PM me if you are interested and would like contact info.

Sweet. I talked to him a few weeks ago and he said this was in the works. Please PM me with the info.

I am hoping to be in that group next year. If all goes as planned I will have one next spring via Eddy.

I hope it works out for you. They are fine bass rigs.

Just out of curiosity- My neighbor had a Bass Cat and it was an extremely low shallow boat. It went like a raped ape, excuse me, invasive primate(can't offend that group either probably), they must have improved if you're using them on Mille Lacs right?

It really is dependent on lake conditions and driver skill. I have somehow survived 13 years in my 18 1/2 ranger fishing some very big water - Mille Lacs, LOTW, Chequamegon Bay, Sturgeon Bay, and many others, and I've been scared shatless several times. That said, BCB has a wide range of models available, from the Sabre to the Jaguar. I can tell you from my own experience, after acquiring a 20' 4" Cougar last fall, if you're going to primarily fish big water, size does matter. Running the Cougar in the rough stuff is like riding in a caddy compared to the smaller ranger and I am extremely pleased with it. However, I would be the first to admit that a bass boat does not equal a big deep V like a yarcraft in the rough stuff. It really depends on what you want (I'm also a speed freak). FM-Millelacs's Marine will be hosting a "ride and drive" day Aug 23 on Mille Lacs and it is a very good opportunity to see for yourself what they can and cannot do. I attended one of these events about a year and a half ago. The wind was blowing hard out of the NW and we launched in Isle Bay. I was riding with Ivan, BCB's Nat'l sales manager and I told him I wanted to see what it (Puma) could do in the waves. That's pretty much how I wound up with the Cougar.
