OK heres the problem. My wife wanted to get a deck boat but I didnt because fishing is crappy from them. So we went and looked at Crestliner. Well she really liked them, so much so well will be getting one. Now heres the question. We decided on the 18 footer but plan on keeping the boat for it's lifetime. Soooo I was thinking about getting the 20 footer, the room would be nice. Our family is getting bigger and I think that perhaps a 20 footer would be better. My neighbor has a 19 footer and he says its too big to fish walleyes(thats what I fish for). He says it is too hard to control in the wind and that it is almost too big for MN lakes. (HE got his to fish resovores). So my question is this do I get the big boat or the smaller one. I would REALLY like the room in the 20 footer but ultimately I enjoy fishing enough to sacrafice the size for better fishing. So everyones imput would be valued. Thanks
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
