Officially a boat owner!

Bitter sweet and the end of an era. My inflatable was great to me and always put me on the fish, but it was time for a change. My son was born back in august and I really needed to think about going out on the river in an inflatable rig, especially in the winter. I was always safe and wore my life jacket but had to go through some nasty stuff sometimes to get to the fish. As we all know accidents happen and I probably pushed the envelope more than I should at times. I enjoy fishing alone at times but I am really looking forward to being able to share fishing experiences with fellow anglers aboard. Here’s to seeing you guys out on the water!!

Yea that inflatable is super stable I stood and casted for muskies all day on that thing. Plus I could hold a pole with a Muskie in one hand and that giant net in the other. Pretty sure I can tight rope walk now with my balance lol That little boat would take me miles upstream through fast water with that 6 horse Yamaha too!!

Nice new ride that should serve you well.. Do you have a name for it yet, i hope you still have the other inflatable rig you still might need that one for a more stealthy approach. The tin boats tend to be a bit loud when moving around in them and they can beat the hell out of you in choppy water. I had a 16' flat bottom bass boat with a 35 hp so i know how those things ride they are great for fishing skinny water but can be a handful on a big choppy lake.

No name yet, I’m looking to get rid of the inflatable and put that money down on the new boat bill lol. I wish I could keep it but my garage is a lot tighter now. I hear ya about the big choppy lakes but I’ll just pick my days and watch the wind or else wear a mouthpiece for the ride back to the ramp 😂
