Always love your reports from this river. Someday I will go there... someday.

Now you just need a BOAT.

https://fishfindermounts.com/ The do indeed make cool stuff, not sure if they have anything scotty compatible though.

Hmmm.... Scotty has a great all-in-one arm/platform combo that does exactly what you want..... if you are mounting to a t-track. I've used successfully it on a kayak before. I suppose you could look into getting this scotty triple holder mount and then adding the regular mount transducer arm...

Pretty clean looking tho...

Are you trying to mount it in an existing scotty mount? Or adding a scotty mount and then using that for the arm/finder?

Talk to me about anchor setups for a lake boat. Boat is 16.5ft and well under 2500lbs with passengers. Anchor would be for stopping and hanging out somewhere for lunch or a swim. But also as an emergency device in case I have engine troubles and I don't want to run down the trolling motor...

Also might be worth considering with a level head EXACTLY what kind of strength and mobility your dad will have for travel and fishing. If it's low, make sure that you're booking a lodge that doesn't have lots of hiking or uncomfortable drift boat seats for long days, etc. Can he handle the...

Caveat that I'm saying this with zero personal experience as the phase of life I'm in doesn't allow this sort of budget. But I think if I were in this position, I wouldn't try to combine fresh/salt or lake/river too much. Pick one that seems the most interesting and then find an all inclusive...

I mean, it's not sparkle red or anything...

You're telling me. I feel like I have gained a significant amount of free time and mental bandwidth. No more watching CL/FB like a hawk. No more "this one, or that one" debates as I'm trying to fall asleep.

Apologies, I should probably have been more clear. This Ultrex has GPS/spot-lock/iPilot/etc. What it doesn't have is the improved "advanced GPS" version that Minn Kota released in 2023 (I think this one is a 2020 motor). The 2023 version has a much nicer remote and a few additional features...

You mean like ONE OF THESE: https://pnwflyfishing.com/forum/index.php?articles/ninja-grass-blade-2-0-review-trolling-motor-upgrade.49/ Jokes aside, that review was done with the ninja on a different older motor. Adding one to this motor is a good idea.

Hard pass. Tough to do, but good call to walk away. Unless the joy for you is in the project work as much as it is in the actual boating, that's a headache that you don't need.

I been there, friend. I been there. Keep searching, the right one is out there. Plus, since I didn't buy a salt boat, I have to be able to stowaway on friends' boats if I want to fish the salt. So I need you to track one down!

As river opportunities continue to dwindle around here and family/career/life stuff has kept me from taking interesting moving water trips, I've gotten more and more into bass fishing. Lake trout fishing has just never done it for me, but the active nature of bass (and bluegill!) fishing fits my...

Indeed, kudos to all involved. A great example of how cool this silly flyfishing website community is.

The last pile of these is on its way to @GLC.
