Headed up to New York next Thursday for a weekend of smallmouth fishing- and I get to pick up my new boat on Friday! I can't wait! I have already bought some stuff to add to it and am anxious to see what kind of room I have. I should have a great place to try it out- Lake Erie. If it works well there, it will work anywhere. Hopefully all works out well- wish me luck. You should be seeing me on the river within the next couple of weeks- I miss the catfishing action. After seeing some of the fish being boated recently, I am suffering big time. Can't wait to be out plying the muddy waters again. I am thinking it will be a good boat to throw a castnet off of as well. Low bow rails in the front. LOL Later! UFM82
