Priority1

I keep two bags rigged and ready on the Priority1. All I have to do is drop them in the water and tie the back tether line. The bags do stabilize the boat in rough seas. Mine are rigged to run mid ship. They are totally out of the fishing area. Slower trolling is a must for us when pulling crawler harnesses for walleye. I generally use both bags, but sometimes only use one. With the bags I can increase the engine rpm. It's easier on the engine. I can also drift fish in 3 foot seas using the outdrive as a rudder. I do keep the engine running just in case I have to make a quick correction. A canvas shop in Tawas made mine.

Duane, Way to gitter done.

I'll move it. Thanks for waking me up Mike.

Peter GJ.

Jay GJ @ the Joe.

Nick, GJ on the shakedown cruise. It's good to get the first trip in, and the fish are a bonus. I enjoyed fishing with you last year along with the rest of the GR connection. BTW There is a Side Job that fishes out of AuGres.

GJ Matt. I just knew you would get into some fish. Everyone else was at the Joe, so you had it all to yourself.

NP I can fix that. GJ on the eyes.

Aaron, I'm glad you had a good trip with your son. Keep making good memories.

GJ on the perch and browns.

Good try Katrina. I'm sure you'll connect next time.

Paul, GJ from the East side.

Paul, Glad you had some action on the East side. It's great sharing our sport with the kids.

Gj Terry and Don. Terry I see you don't have any lakers in your tally. The new Dog needs a lil grease. I'm looking forward to Manistee.

Diesel Dan the fisherman, if he can't do it no one can. GJ Dan.

Terry, Gj on the Browns and Ho. Tough conditions I'm sure.

GJ @ the Joe.

I reckon so. Welcome aboard to the famous Josey Wales.

Does anyone else think that they over complicate things? Probably just too much politics involved.

It's nice to see the CG out there protecting us. I'm glad you had all the required stuff. You would be surprised at what they find or don't find in their inspections.

Don't forget your boat insurance may also cover towing. Oooooops shoulda read the entire post. LOL

Nice try Tom. AuGres will shine.

VN King:)

Thanks Mike.
