Georgia Fishing

My name is Stan and have been retired from the Army now for 32 years. I mainly fish for bass but given the mood and my stomach I’ll fish for bream or crappie for a great meal. The wife is a Canadian gal and we go to Ontario during the summer months where I do my best to take advantage of both largemouth and smallmouth bass. My boat travels with me every where I go. I also belong to a Canadian bass club called the Aurora Bassmaster’s and run their FB page. Lastly about 3 years ago I started a FB group for owners of the Tracker Tournament V18 bass boat and the All Fish version with the same hull and currently have almost 200 followers. The TV18 as it is known was only made for 11 years and was designed by Bass Fishing Legend Rick Clunn. My boat is a 2010 model and has a Mercury OptiMax 115 on it, though it’s rated for a 150hp. My home is in Columbus Georgia and I fish in both Georgia and Alabama.

Thank you. Right now I’m having the wooden flooring and carpeting replaced with some odds and ends being added. It’s a great boat and serves my purpose well.

We have a condo in Lagoon City ( Lake Simcoe) in Brechin. Which is off of Highway 12.

Stan, thanks for reaching out. I would be proud of that unique boat too. I live in North Columbus too and used to fish at Callaway Gardens (Mountain Creek Lake) by renting their john boats. I just found out today that they have closed their boathouse and annual member fishing access. I have all my own gear, including rods, and want to continue to Bass fish on weekends. Let me know if you want to go fishing sometime.

I’ll see if we can. My boat is in the shop for new wood and carpet so it may be a bit.

Stan, if I didn’t know better, I would have thought that is a new boat. Looking pretty darn good. Nice work and good choice of the craftsman.
The new electronics and spot lock sound pretty impressive too.
Should have mentioned last time that I am of retirement age too but my wife keeps me working. She is also retired Army, BTW. She went to West Point. Never forget.
I have been employed 38 years now and work for a large local aerospace company.

Would that company you work for be Pratt and Whitney? I used to work there years ago and then switched to PCI.
I take the boat to have all of the electronics and TM installed Monday. Hopefully it will be completed by Friday.

Yes it is, I just had my 18-year anniversary pass by. I remember PCI back when I was the CF MRE in 1992/93. What years were you there?
