News gets worse for me, I usually pay for the 2nd rod option so I can troll with 2 downriggers. That will be $92.50 for the day sir o_O OK, here's a $1,000 bucks so I can launch less than 11 days :D

Looks nice Mr.crab!

Ya know Russ, I still remember moving myself and family from San Francisco to Austin in 2005. You know that famous speed trap on I-10 near Van Horn exit? Yep, like catching trout at the hatchery ;);) I never say never....anyways I am due back your way one of these days, will hook up for sure...

Thank you FT!

What I love about this site is the comradery and fellow members willing to help each other out. Hard to beat that.

Would enjoy that very much Joe! Gotta get you your 228 back first from the paint shop (a.k.a. Gone Fishin!) :eek:

Thanks man, I'm still healthy so all is not lost :)

Well, Adding to a year I would like soon to forget, Pyramid Lake is still shut down until deemed safe to reopen. Even when that happens, there will not be any season permits issued until Covid is behind us. Meaning goodbye until at least next fall. The current rumor is daily passes for boat +...

Most use a 9.9hp kicker while trolling. Totally different animal out here as Doc said.

Yep Doc, That would describe how I fish, except I don't have a pilothouse. We all fish using the best methods that yields results.

Ditto, bought a bunch of white towels on an Amazon special deal. Use one in my truck drivers floor too. Amazing what cheap black asphalt can do. Wash em on hot and they come back good as new...

Great bonding experience for you and your son!! Remember fishing for those when I kept my boat down in Half Moon Bay.

At least you got the seal of approval. :p

Agreed, I added a pick up on the bottom and a larger thru hull this year. Only fiberglass was present.

Pacific Trailer mounts the winch in this strange position assuming that your hull has a bow pulpit.

blindmullet makes a good point. My 228 has the tank forward. That being said I was fortunate enough to go out on Lite Tackles 226 this past spring and could tell there is a big difference between pre SV2 and post SV2

Plus one on Paul @ Patriot Marine Fabricators!

Plus one on the SV2 hull. I have been on both, noticeable difference.

Had a roller trailer until this spring. Didn't fit my hull and caused alot of keel and chime damage. Now a new galvanized bunk trailer owner=best decision ever ;)

Russ, Very cool to watch the videos!! Did ALOT of Cub/Boy Scout camping at the Bastrop Campgrounds with both of my kids. Pack 79 and Troop 990 in ATX. Then a big move to Reno in 2015. Nice to see you wearing a Scoutmaster uniform too! Got one Eagle, and one First Class Scout so far from the...
