Well it’s that time.
Bought a Nitro back in the spring. Only had it out a handful of times
The boat is too big for the garage.
I store it in the driveway.
Usually with my old Lund , I shrink it in storage plastic for winter storage.
Thinking about just using the fitted travel cover this year.
It’s a very heavy duty cover ( expensive option).
What are your thoughts on this?
I’ve often wondered the same thing.
Nothing like snot 3 ft up your leader
Break out another thousand
I’ve plucked out miles of backlash.
Still do occasionally regretfully.
Keep at it. It’s a learning curve.
You will get better
As I get older , the less I enjoy getting drenched.
When I was much younger , I’d go for it.
I remember one time riding out a storm in a vacant covered boat slip then going out after storm passed and burning em up!!
I’m old and give out. And seems every time I go , it’s howling and or raining.
Still got a little left in me and got the gear. But when it it ain’t fun , it ain’t fun.
I’ve taken many a new bie out for first time and they schooled me.
Embarrassing but seeing a good friend having a good time makes it worth the humiliation
Glad you had a good time
My new nitro gets on plane only after I added weight to the front.
In the form of a series 31 battery.
Still sluggish in my opinion.
Once she gets up, she loves speed. The faster , the better. Smoother , more responsive.
I have a 6” Jack plate and have yet to find the sweet spot.
But to be honest, I haven’t had it out enough to play with it.

Congrats
I caught 3 qualifiers in a single day in a relatives pond in central Ohio
Crappie
Bluegill
Largemouth
I haven’t fished that pond in many years.
It was fantastic and very pretty
Moms side of the family used to hold their reunion there for as long as I can remember
I’ve been out of the loop
Just got back on .
Been scrolling thru for posts from Robert J Samples.
Haven’t seen anything, but it was a quick scroll
Is he still involved?
If so , RJ. I really enjoy your posts.
Please PM me
Thanks
Wind is the story of my life lately Nice fish there.
I’d like to have 30 of those perch right about now.
That’s a fine dinner.
Good day looks like to me
My season was pretty much a bust.
Only got out 5 times.
Way too much goin on.
Gonna wrap the boat up next weekend . See what next season brings
Thanks guys.
Appreciate that
Work has been occupying a lot of my time. Too much so. Haven’t had time to do much fishing at all this season.
Wife asked last night if I’d been on the stage. She suggested I get back on to take my mind off of things , if even for a little while.
Decided to heed her advise.
Always loved reading what others were doing and contributing where I could.
I’m gonna try this again.
