Fair Haven 4/24 PM

[Billy V]

Picked up the new ride in Sodus today and ran it back to Fair Haven. All went well.

Spent most of the afternoon getting the boat in it's slip with new dock lines, etc. I was surprised how much stuff came off the old boat and how long it took to get things situated. Here's a shot of the boat at rest in it's slip.

Of course, we couldn't spend all that time working on the boat without taking it out fishing for a bit. We spent about 90 minutes on the lake and boated 4 nice browns. Fish came on Black/Silver, and firetiger Dave's Ka-boom shiners, and on some orange bleeding belly R&R spoons. Water has warmed up a bit. We found 48-52 degree water in 9-13 FOW. Still some color in the water too. Here's Dad and Jay with the first fish we took on the new boat:

I'm really glad to have the boat in the water and ready to go. I was going nuts the past couple of weeks being boat-less.

Billy,

Now you know the boat will catch fish, go out and have some fun. If you ever need anyone to give you a hand let me know. Good Luck in the derby this weekend. Wish I could join you guys.

Thats one SWEET looking rig Bill! Those browns look a little on the plump side. Nice catch!

Bill,

Awesome looking boat and great pictures too. What better way to break in a new ride is there. Nice catch of brown trout, and the boat ran great. Congrats on the new boat!
