New Boat
 

Well picked up my new boat on Friday evening, and wasn't real sure where we were headed on Saturday. Got a phone call and was told that the specks had moved into the Trash Pile in Verm. Bay since last weekend. Got the boat all loaded with gear and gas on Saturday morning and figured well at least we gonna give the new motor some break in time, didn't have much hope with the river being so high. Got there at 9:30 Saturday morning and what do you know the first fish was a trout......:p Well we picked away at them and would up with 35 beautiful trout....2-3# average, and a couple right at 4#. What a way to break in a new boat. Feeling really good after that we went back out bright and early this morning, well as per the Bay here today gone tomorrow...... 1 fish all morning:(. Tried to put some pictures, but my computer is not wanting to recognize my phone for some stupid reason, will download them tomorrow at work and post some pics of the boat and fish.

Nice way to break in a boat for sure. I heard the same thing about that area holding some trout. With the drought that is one of the few areas that will hold some salt in the water,even with the high river. How did the water look at the pile?

The water was beautiful, had a green tint very nice. Also all the trout were full of eggs. They made a big run through there last year, Memorial Day weekend and we burned them up. Looks like they a few weeks late this year.

Yep,I caught the end of the bite last year,but they were all fat!

Hell yeh man thats how you break in a new boat!!

Congrats on your new boat and fish.

Well where's the pics of the new sled??

good job man. nothing like sliming up your new rig with a solid pile of big trout!!

Pictures
 

Here's the pictures as promised.

Hell yea dude!! Awesome catch and nice boat!

I like it!!!! Nice boat!!!

Ice! Good stuff . . . . . . Lol sweet boat man again way to break it in!

nice boat,and good catch at the hit and miss pile. lol

I like the boat!!! Thanks for the report and the pics. Great job on the feeshes!:)

Great lookin boat...

Last pic is the best!

Yeah
 

If your talking about the pic with my youngest, the bite was really funny, they would not hit it, they were just picking it up and holding on to it and he was having a hard time catching them. He finally hooked the one is the pic about 45 mins before we left. He was pretty excited that he had finally got one to the boat. He had missed quite a few before and was getting really discouraged, but he kept at it. Was proud of him for not giving up.

Fantastic!!!!!

With live bait....they will do that sometimes. Just let them swim off with the bait. When the fish stops.....count to 3....then slowly real up the slack and lift up the rod tip..... and you usually got them hooked.

good looking ride.

Great with the kids

Some will appreciate this more than others......
A man once said......"reel till you feel"

HMMMM
 

I appreciate the "feel" part. :spineyes:

Duckfreak!!! What type of bait artificial or live? Nice catch, too many birthday parties this past weekend for us to fish.

Everything was caught with artifical....anything white. We caught on white w/red tail cocahoe. Had some buddies there they caught on Glow/Chart. Tail.

how you like that Mako? I was looking last night at their LTS18 and like it, plus the price is nice for my first bigger boat.

Duckfreak where you out there today? i saw a boat just like that parked up against the bank.

No man it was not me, been at work all day. Man I tell you the Bay is so unpredictable, like I put on my report, here today gone tomorow. Them some good looking flounder, can already smell the crabmeat stuffing.:grinpimp:

Man tell you what I really like it, great fishability, storage areas are fantastic, plenty of room for my stuff. Now with that being said I do have the 2110, not sure what LTS18 has, didn't look at those. Hope this helps.

I know they are smaller but they are compared to flats boats which it will go shallower then the boat you have. I have looked at them a few times and like the decks and price and they have some decent storage but not real sure about Mako, don't know much about them. I read some reports claiming 50ish mph with a 90 hp motor although I would like bigger that's what its rated for.

Dont you have the 2201?

awesome boat man!! I've been keeping my eyes out a lot lately and that mako has an awesome layout, just wished they made them a full 22ft. i guess 6 inches doesn't really count for much but it feels like it. Hows fast does she run with the 150?

UMMMM
 

You are correct 2201, short between keyboard and chair:rotfl:

I was not able to open it up, due to new motor break, but at 4400 RPM's we doing 42mph on GPS

nice i almost bought one of them about 3 years ago....wish i did

Nice boat and fish man

He also would yell "Don't Jerk";)

Goat looks good!

Hell thats cruisin pretty good wish my boat would do 42 :(

Thanks for the report and looks like a nice boat w/ some nice fishies to break her in....cant beat dat

any new Trout reports from the bay?

Made a phone call this morning and was told it has been too choppy to fish much this week, so my sources are saying they haven't been out due to wind. I might head east this weekend around Dularge, but not sure yet. If I hear something encouraging will you know.

Thanks Brother

Heard today, that there were a few trout caught this week when the wind allowed em to fish. So still may be a few out there, i might try tomorrow afternoon got a couple honey dos first thing in the morning.:(
