Got a new boat

Not Big but it works way better than the 12' John i just sold. I couldnt even stand up in the small John. I looked for weeks for a used 2 man bass boat with no luck so i broke down and bought a new one. Its the Pelican Bass Raider from Rural king. My son talked me into putting a little Camo on it for looks. Got it out today for the first time, took the bow just incase and got one Fish. It was the worst day for bowfishing as the water was very choppy from the wind and you couldnt see much. I got in the shallows and this fish busted out, and was moving a good clip so i pulled back, took a snap shot, and got lucky :D I now have a 30 gal plastic barrel with handle cut outs to put fish in after this one flopped around the Hull and got my ankles all bloody It was nice to finally be able to stand up for a change. Im already building a small platform to stand on and i have to make a push pole then im all set for spring OH, Trailer is also finished so i can haul it behind my Jeep.

 

Nice looking set up you have there, and that boat pretty much fits prefect in the tailer.

 

Thanks Issac, there is 1/2" in front and behind when in the trailer. And plenty of room on the sides for other things. Man i hope your going to heal up real fast Brother, I want to here some hunting storys from you and hopefully some picks of sucess Get well soon!!

 

Thanks, but after PT yesterday the doctors aren't wanting me to hunt at all, But that is probably not going to keep me out of the woods.

 

Signs at the gtg say no swimming. They don't say anything about boats. Let's cruise the ponds next summer! Think we can water ski behind it?

 

Neat looking rig you got there Crick. Hopefully you can stay dry now when you decide to bowfish.:D

 

Nice looking set up Crikster! :D

 

Nice lookin setup you've got there! I especially like the camo. They'll never see ya coming.

 

Thanks guys, yeah I really dont like sitting in the lake with my cloths on :D

 

Your all set up Crick! The boat looks good and it looks like you broke her in right with a fish on the first trip!

 

Nice looking baot, Crick. She have a name?

 

I have not thought of any yet Maby puddle jumper, or Lil Crickster

 

Nice looking boat and trailer. Looks like it will be pretty stable. How heavy is the boat?

 

Thanks, like i said its way more stable than the 12' john i sold. Its 86 lbs with the seats, less battery and trolling motor. 500 lb capacity!!

 

LOL..sounds good!

500lB capacity will hold a lot of carp.
