Finally after much work and rigging of fishing gear,electronics etc. took the Penn Yan out yesterday for a shakedown, maiden voyage combo. Everything went great, an adjustment to my lines on the trolling bags was about all that had to be done.
Fishing was pretty good went 5 for 10 ...1 steelhead and 4 browns

You picked a beautiful day for it too Dan. Where did you go out of?

Out of I bay, trolled Ship Builders to Webster Piers

Dan,

It looks like you are having WAY too much fun.

Congrats.

Steve

I'm envious, Dan. Great looking setup you have there.

Great boat and nice fish. Reminds me of Tony's boat on The Sopranos.

Looks like a good day Dan, i was supposed to fish a finger lakes tourney today. But, work had different ideas.

Nice catch Dan

Nice!
Fished out of Sodus and Pultneyville a few times and it was never pizz flat like that.
Is your Penn Yan a tunnel drive? Used to be a few running around here.

Those fish are hogs, very nice.

yes sir it is a tunnel drive

Good eats there, nice job.

I was thinking the same thing, look how much girth the top pictured fish carries all the way to it's tail fin.

Short of a couple rivers, we won't be in boats here in ND until May

Fish was only 8 lbs ...much bigger to be caught !

Outstanding! Lake looks like a deal calm. Surprised a nice hood like that allows for a boat in the drive.

BTW you missed all the fun Fire idiots yesterday. Wished I had stayed at camp.

No rules on boats, I have a storage in a fenced and monitored business 5 minutes from here so when I am going to use it I bring it home and then when I'm not going to take it out I bring it there
