Boat envy.

My team tournament fishing partner just bought a sweet used boat. 2000 Stratos(19ft) with a 200 Evinrude and a 74lb trolling motor. It should be finished getting cleaned at the dealership this week, so hopefully we will have it on the river soon to put the hotfoot to the floor. I'm extremely excited because now I have ample space in the back of the boat, as before I had an 18" or so platform on the back of the Crestliner to stand. Fish beware...

Nice boat carl, careful on that river!

[East Rush Rules]

[champion198elite]

Nice ride there Tonka!! You better get that thing up here so we can "shine" that skeg up by blast through some sand bars!!

[RiverBassGuy]

Nice boat Tonka! That thing looks sweet!

[TonkaBass]

Thanks guys, My luck is I will get rear ended or something on the way back! Only 4 more days...

When boats start to catch fish I'll get a new one. Until then, the one I have will do fine.

Sounds like a river fisherman to me.

[champion198elite]

Easy there Cecil, there's nothing wrong with "river fisherman"

[TonkaBass]

I agree muddog, this one just gets me there faster so I can catch fish sooner

Nothing wrong with river fisherman at all. They kick my hind end every spring!

This time of year. Dang right.

I mostly fish lakes. You know, all the fish are not on the other side of the lake. My biggest Bass last year was a beatup old warhorse 30 feet from the landing on E Jefferson. Come to think of It, I didn't have my boat with me and it was on a flyrod with A green clouser deep minnow I had tied a day or two before. I try not to limit my fishing horizons. What I look for in summer fishing is the Triphecta, That is a Bass and a Walleye over 20" and a Northern over 30" being boated in one day.

[TonkaBass]

how big was your biggest bass last year?

[Muddog]

As I said I was standing in the water so I didn't have a scale or tape with me. I will say it was over 20 and less then 22". With the look of it's lips I would say I was not the first to catch and release this fish.

[Muddog]

Oh sorry. Congratulations on the new boat.

[TonkaBass]

Pick up the boat tomorrow, CAN'T WAIT!!! Leaving at about 2am, I plan on going through some coffee!!! My cousin is riding with me in case I get sleepy

[Cecil]

How long is the drive?

[TonkaBass]

I think it's about 10hrs., so not too bad.

[Superduty]

You'll be fine. I did 18 hours solo to Washington D.C. to pick mine up last year. It was all worth it once I was screaming across the Potomac river in January!

[Deitz Dittrich]

have a safe trip TB.

[TonkaBass]

Back in Mn after a long, long solo car trip. Since when does MO have snow storms in the end of march???? If I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all. Made it back in one peice though and love the boat!
