Well tomorrow we head out to take our second crack at the fall derby on Crotch lake put on by Tumblehome Lodge. Just wondering who else will be attending? If anyone decides to attend, stop by and say hello, we will be in the Alumacrft with 75 hp optimax and the real identifying feature will be the new and improved welfare, homemade top we made, its not the prettiest thing but it gives us shelter from the wind and rain and we will stay warm with the portable heaters. All for the price of 120 bucks, maybe some day I can afford to have a real stand up top but hey I can stand up in this one and we also put in plastic side windows , it just takes a bit of time putting together. Hope it doesnt collapse!
It wont, we have had it out a few times and it really does help, in fact last time we shut the motor off and trolled using the wind at about 1.8 to 2mph and was able to steer using the motor in the water, kinda weird but was nice and quiet.
I just hope the fishing this time around is a bit better than last year, a nasty cold front went through last time and it was tough.
Anyway if any of you are there stop by, it would be nice to chat.
Don
