The boat performs really good. 27mph and dry with my dad and I last Saturday. We had to work hard for two keepers.
Shot a limit of marsh hens yesterday morning.

Sweet! Very nice-looking haul.

Those fish are too easily spooked. I found out using an 8' rod allows longer casts and more hookups after spending the whole day throwing with a 6' rod and having the captain continue to tell me to throw harder with my bad shoulder. I finally setup my 8' rod which was onboard the whole time and the captain commended me for finally casting further.

Have you tried braided line? You will pick up some distance with braid too. We were a little tight, but the area we were in usually produces for us. I’ve gotten accustomed to having the luxury of a trolling motor, which makes a huge difference. I’m planning to put one on this boat ASAP.fallguy1000 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 11:02 amThose fish are too easily spooked.
