I'm an outsider, but I've been to Ohio!

Hey all,
I'm Jeff, and I live in RI, but I LOVE fishing! I hope you don't mind an outsider in the midst! If I can learn something to help me catch more fish, I'm game, and if I can help someone here with something, even better.

carry on!
Jeff

Welcome Jeff. Nice boat - what size motor you running?

[blackknife]

Thanks for the welcome & the kind words on my boat. It's a 2003 Skeeter TZX 190 with a 2003 VMAX 150 fuel injected non HPDI. I'd like to have something a little bigger like the new FX20, or even a ZX200 but it's PLENTY big enough for the lakes we have around RI. It's got a 12" Slidemaster (manual) jack plate with a C&O hole shot plate and a Bob's Machine Shop foil. I've gotten real close to 64 GPS with it, and the hole shot is real quick.

Welcome to "THE WONDERFUL WORLD of OGF". If you are ever planning a trip to Ohio, send me a PM and I'll be glad to take you out on Erie. Do you do any salt water fishing?

Would love to fish Erie! I appreciate the offer!!
I live 35 minutes from the ocean, but I haven't done any salt water fishing since I was a kid. Guess I'm a fresh water guy!
