I'm not real "in tune" with bass fishing on a lake... but...

    I think...as a group of 3 guys in a boat.... 2 of them owning the other guy(me) on bass fishing.... It was a pretty good day on the lake. :D

    Here's a few pics from the day,

    Add over 50 Crappie filleted and in the freezer to all of that... not a bad day at all.

    Nice! I'm not a big fan of fishing lakes but I wouldn't complain about a day like that!

    My buddy, the one with all the fish, bought a Tracker that is aluminum here a while back... I've finally got to go out with him about 3 times this year, and I can easily see this becoming my next obsession... I've always loved fishing... just never got out there before... always been the loser on the bank... :D

    I can't stop looking at kayaks for the river myself...

    I see myself with a boat next year, hopefully an 18 ft glass boat, but an aluminum would certainly do on most of the lakes around here.

    Nice outing!

    For the guys wanting to get into tin boats, go check out www.tinboats.net. If you look under the projects area you can see a ton of tin boat projects including mine. You really don't have to spend a ton of $$$ on one of these projects. Mine was built on a 12' semi V and I could have done things way cheaper than I did with an electric only setup. I think all said and done I spent maybe 2k, but again......I went way overboard on a lot of it and you don't have to spend nearly that much.
