Catfishing in Montana

The taller one seemed to handle the bigger water a bit better but this one seems to be smoother and less splash up in big waves.

Rusty....what do you mean, it handles big water better? Do you mean that it can take on more waves? If it could take on bigger waves wouldn't that mean you would be dryer in the taller version? Just a little confused. This is about the last hang up for me...I'd like to order within the next couple of weeks. I'll probably give you a call and B.S. about it soon.

Update: Just an update...I think I'm going with the regular 176 model. Talked to Kevin on Friday and I feel comfortable with that decision. I plan on ordering it within the next couple of weeks.

Well what I was meaning is the taller one sits up off the water much more and can handle bigger waves but the bow does not have the angle of the shorter one. The New generation seems to cut the waves much better. The HI Pro hits the waves and they seem to splash straight up and all over ya.. lol..When its hot out it is kinda refreshing.

You will like the Lo Pro.. I wish I had one of them myself just for lake fishing and bass fishing.. Someday I hope to have one of each in the yard. That way I would have all the water I want to fish covered.

Since there are some cat guys posting here...

Look what we got into a couple days ago!

How early can you guys in MT start getting into some regular channel catfish action?

[BigSkyCatMan]

Hanson, That looks like a great time! I should be hitting the river hard in about three weeks. The Yellowstone River really heats up in early April. Two recent April trips to the river has turned up 20 plus catfish between 5 and 11 lbs.

Hanson, you lucky dog. I see you've been showing those off over on the Catfish board I'm envious of you and I'm glad you are on the cats so early. Sounds like you had a great time.

Well...

I've been looking down 8" holes in the ice since early December, I'm pretty excited to hit the open water again. It is just really fortunate that I live fairly close to some good early season catfishing.

Let us know when you guys start getting them. Wanna see some pics too, eh?

Now we just need the Red to melt and not flood to badly this spring. Fingers crossed...

[Wiskers]

Hey There Bigskycatman..........

Did you get the RP yet? If so you soo busy playing that you can not get on the net and tell us about it? LOL...

Rusty- Big Cat Dad purchased a River Pro and him and the Cat Ferret are in Missouri today picking it up. They are talking about hitting up some Blues or Flatheads while they are down there! I'm sure he will have an update on the boat when they get back. How is the Cattin' goin over there??

[Wiskers]

I bet they are too busy playing with the boat to even eat. LOL... Fishing is a bit tough over here this year.. not sure what is going on.
