Home Forums Fishing Freshwater Tell us about your boat,---s.

I like those PFD's folks, live to fish another day.

You never know when you may go for an unexpected swim.

Enjoyed seeing the boats you guys own. Boats are a wonderful source of entertainment for people of all ages. I have been around them since a child in the 50s. Can't imagine life without a boat.

Have had my 1910 Trophy Bayliner center console for 31 yrs. Bought it to handle any freshwater lake in the West. It was setup for saltwater bay type fishing. I removed the large handrail system, lowered the windshield redesigned the dash and added a trolling motor. Best accessory was a set of Bennett Trim Tabs.

Not only has it seen the big Western impoundments it has also ventured into the Finger Lakes Region of N.Y.

Went across Lake Ontario from Point Breeze to Cobourg Ontario while downrigger trolling for rainbows.

Went all over San Carlos Mexico including San Pedro Island and Tortuga Island.

Western lakes: Roosevelt Lake Az. Elephant Butte NM. Lake Powell UT, Flaming Gorge UT/Wy, Pend Oreille Id ,Jackson Lake Wy, Yellowstone Lake Wy, Priest Lake Id, Coeur d'Alene Id, Bear Lake Ut and a host of other smaller lakes. Only large one I haven't seen is Fort Peck.

Now days I don't downrigger troll anymore. I only visit one Lake which is Roosevelt Lake Az. My bird dogs are always with me which makes for plenty of fun and good companionship.

Azshooter..you have that cleaned up nice. I see alot of trophy's up in our neck of the woods,but the improvements you've made to that one are nice. I like the looks of it without the handrail system.

While pulling the fishhouse off the lake it fell off the boat ramp and grabbed the canoe. When you are pulling things with 65 hp, an extra 70# isn't noticeable. .

I think it can be "modified" to float again. If not, it will make a nice planter!

And this is why we have multiple boats - so the bonehead play of the day doesn't take us off the water!

Neat post - here is my contribution. I bought this boat with my dad in April 1994, been perfect for the fishing we do out here in the Pacific NW. Its a 17' Duckworth Pro III, all welded aluminum sled built in Clarkston Washington. I just repowered it last March with a new Suzuki DF90 4 stroke motor. Great combo IMHO and works great for our salmon fishing and pretty much anything else I fish for around home.



Its got pretty good fishing Mojo:)
