Hey Gang,
Well I took the boat up to Lake Fairlee in Fairlee VT. It's decent size lake that has trout and bass. It was much easier loading / unloading in a the lake than in the river (no current). The boat ran great and fished comfortably.
We put the boat in and caught the first 10-15 fish 20 feet away from the boat ramp. They stocked the lake last week with 3000 brown trout and they never swam away, they are still were the truck dumped them (and the avid trout fisherman will tell you that bass are dumb..lol). We used our ultra lights with 4lb line and small spinners and had a blast. We could have had our limit in about 15 minutes but we thru them all back.
Then we trolled for a while. I was impressed with how low my 90hp would idle and how slow we could go, but we didn't catch anything trolling. I put the H-bird to the test and we found a really nice ledge (3ft that dropped right off to 22ft). Here we caught a variety of fish; bass, brown trout, perch, pickerel and sunfish that felt like bass.
Total for the day was some where near 30 fish. I think my boat is now officially broken in.
Auhh, Life is good!
