I only have about five, and of course, am still looking for another, (blush). Any confessions to make?

I am lacking a Lake Michigan rig due to cost and an 18' Jon Boat for bigger rivers.

Just a 20' Crestliner with a 150 Yamaha and a FishCat 4 like Pal shows but have also been thinking of one of those one-person, double pontoon rigs for fishing small bodies of water when I don't care to dangle myself in that chilly, early spring water.

For those lakes that need a skyhook to get into. Wabigoon, have you ever thought of one of those I mentioned above -- a one-man, double pontoon "Basser" for those northern, forest-hemmed lakes? Can be taken down and can be well under a 100lbs..

A couple times I wasn't sure I could get back with just swim fins.

I have 2 Jon boats, 3 canoes, a poke boat, a layoutboat, a 20 mariner, a 30 evinrude, a 15 evinrude, a 3.5 Johnson, a old evinrude Zephyr 30s or 40s model and a 40 evinrude tiller steer. I have the latest Jon boat for sale with the 30. I wheel and deal and trade a lot but most of the ones are permanent fixtures. I want a gheenoe right now.

An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool. the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing. ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~
