Poor little bug looks like he froze his tail off. LOL

Those were some fun times. I learned that technique from you and another old fishing mentor. Super super slow vertical retrieve.

Here are some additional photos and an explanation of prepping this boat. I had to make provisions for attaching my stripping apron and move the Leelock anchor lock to make room for a stripping apron attachment point. I built a motor mount and mounted it to the support that was designed for the...

I'll send the photos to my computer and see what I can do. This boat is going to work great. The seat is lower than the top of the pontoons so my short ass legs are still able to kick effectively. The boat tracks very well when rowing or under power. I am going to glue a Scotty pad on top of the...

I was in the first grade. When the announcement came over the school speaker system it was a confusing shock as my teacher was Mrs. Kennedy and her husbands name was John!

Buzz beat me to it. I didn't see his post. LOL

Sonar, although I am no expert. I fished for years without a fish finder (sonar unit) but lately have been trying to learn. Fish finding ability is questionable, but the ability to see topography, structure and depth is very helpful.

Great report as usual Pat. I don't know about braving the cold though. Arthritis and the cold are a bad combo for my hands.

I've been considering going back to a pontoon boat. I had a Buck's Bronco 9ft. Extreme but sold it for a frameless with a floor so I could stand up. I miss having my fins to navigate around or troll, and I would trade the inability to stand for the use of my legs again. The issue I had with the...

Very nice!! I've built two PWM's that are similar. I like your Anderson connectors with the PWM staying with the battery, and using a remote potentiometer for speed control. If I get tired of having the PWM attached to my seat I may adapt the remote potentiometer idea to my PWM.

Or use a PWM with forward and reverse. Leave the trolling motor on forward speed 5. The PWM will control the direction and dial the speed that you want.

How stable is the Backwater while standing?? I'm 150lbs dripping wet and a little on the short side so I would have plenty of room.

I actually had a pair of the stick on plastic magnifier lenses on the inside of those Smith glasses at one time. They work well and eliminate the need for readers when tying on a fly.

I remember to let down slowly now although it took awhile for it to stick in my mind. Kind of like the locking the door accidently on the Ram. Chrysler engineers need to think out some of their design flaws.

I use the Scotty mount. Easy to adjust, easy to remove.

How's this for knee deep and waist deep??

When Pat still had a boat:cry: I haven't been into a mirror like that in a long time.

Try to set a speed record getting your waders on. Last time I fished Leech Lake the mosquitos made breakfast out of me in the parking lot before I got to the edge of the lake. Have fun!

Patrick failed to mention that we both ended up with two Carp to hand, and we both lost one to the tules. Lots of fish seen but not many looking to eat.

Really enjoyed your report. Makes me want to learn more about Bass fishing. Also like your choice of music. I've been looking at Kayak videos after hearing you were fishing from a Kayak from Buzz. Looks like a fun method of plying the waters. I have a question.... how hard is line management in...
