Thanks Tom. I figure it will go between 50-53 on the gps. Childs play for the speeds the bad azz boats you like go though. It's a pretty heavy multi-species boat, with a deep-v hull. The bass boats are rockets but not these big heavy suckers.

I had a Ranger 692 that would go 49 consistantly. I had it up to 51mph on a perfect fall day with not much gas left in the tank. This baby will be smmmooooooth on the "walleye chop" though.

Hopefully you and that smiling boy of yours can make it up this way and I'll show you. Maybe we can get Northern Dave and his boys and hit the pond by his place.

Sounds good, I need to get me a bassboat, I borrowed one last year from a friend and that changed my way of thinkiing on the fishing bit from a boat.

In a good way.

You can have the girls T. I'll take the WOMEN!

What are you looking for Tom?

I have a 2008 20' Champion with a Yamaha 225 I'm contemplating selling! Used very little, to much time coaching and traveling with my boys playing soccer. Used it a total of 26 hours last year

I got pics....you couldn't handle it.

I've fished out of a 20' Champion Fishhunter (deep-V) and it was a nicely laid out boat. Took the chop well. I believe it had a Merc. Optimax 200 or 225 on it, can't remember and a 9.9 pro kicker. Nice boat. It went in the mid-50's which impressed me.

Sounds nice but I need to build a house first.

planning on some pike fishing tomorrow.

If you buy the boat first you could build the house around it.

Thank me later.

Hook and line or spearing?

Raining here today, might even see snow Tuesday.

Checked out the Wolf River at Fremont, WI Saturday, Lots of ice yet on the East side and the sloughs and lakes haven't busted loose yet. Saw a couple of boats by the Fremont bridge. There were ice fisherman about 50 yards from them.

Lol, I dont think my wife would like a boat in her livingroom.

Fox is open at DePere.

Yup! Open below the DuBay Dam too.

Heads up. There's a winter storm warning for our area starting Monday night into Wednesday. Rain, sleet, freezing rain and up to 6" of very wet snow. Sure glad it's spring.

Don't know if the Mnpls area is in the path, but we are.

I can see high 140's out of your sons deer but wonder why yours doesn't score higher. What am I missing? Great mature 10 pt with nice beams! Congrats!!

how'd ya do fishing der den?

Fishing was no damn good.

We managed to have fun anyway tho

I'll be on the road for most of the week. Heading for Nebraska.

Work trip.

I'm hoping to make it out at least once more, late ice can be really good.

did you guys try for any walleyes or was it just pike?

Walleyes middle of last week, just pike over the weekend, It was really poor with the pike efforts.

Woo Hoo! A foot of snow on the way tomorrow. I've got the kid out putting the covers back on the snowmobiles.

Based on the forecast, I think we'll sled into the shack again this weekend. Probably be on the Rainy next week or the weekend after.

God, I love spring. Until it all catches on fire and crap.
