Sweet Boat!

The brackets are nice but limit your ability to move & position the riggers where you want them. For us Lake O guys who fish with many poles & presentations a track system is a much better option. IMO The Michigan Hewes dealer orders all his boats with the brackets deleted for this reason.

The problem is they are only going to schedule a pick up when then dealer has a load of new boats arriving so they can load it on the truck as its heading back to Indiana. Some smaller dealers only get a couple deliveries a year. Maybe see if there is a larger dealer within a reasonable driving distance and pick up can be arranged there at a sooner date. You should contact the Manufacture directly. They should be able to arrange pick up at any Starweld, Starcraft, Smokercraft our Sylvan dealer as they fall under the Smokercraft umbrella. Here are a couple of contacts at the manufacture. [email protected] Warranty repair supervisor [email protected] Customer service rep

I would agree you are maxed out for sure. Especially when you consider batteries, gear etc

Nice boat! Good Luck with sale!

Based on the weight I would say its hull only. If you look at the brochure on the boat with an inboard motor they specify "(includes motor") This is not so on the boats with outboards. So when figuring the total weight compared to the trailer capacity I would add for motor, fuel, gear, batteries etc etc. When looking at trailer tire capacity you need to also calculate the weight of the trailer in too.

Wouldn't that be something, catch the Salmon on the parasite that preys on them. Not sure about others but we did not see as many Lamprey this year. That one was a big one though.

Hadn’t finished my coffee yet. Thx!

Fish and boats everywhere! Fished Saturday PM, Sunday AM, Mon PM Saturday PM We had a case of the dropsies only going 3 for 8. Wannabe paddle w/Musslehead Meat Rig continuing to take shots along with Valium Pro-troll paddle w/stud fly. Fished 100-140 or so with 110-120 being the best. Highlight was a Nice Coho! Sunday AM Headed out to the same area well before sun up for the early bite and to beat the cluster at the ramp. Had our full spread out before the sun came up but didn't take our first shot until about 7:30 A chaotic morning to say the least. Some combat trolling, couple bad tangles and a planer line issue all while taking 3 quick shots. Took a little while for us to dial them. All meat hits except for one flasher fly bite. Wannabe paddle w/meat was good for one fish. All other hits came on a 11" Pro-Troll Green Hornet paddle w/Atommik meat rig fished right off the bottom in 100-120' Jigging the trolling motor triggered most of the bottom strikes. No monsters, 20lb about the biggest but ended up with a nice box. Finished up about noon. Monday PM Went out after the rain quit. Back to the same area. Swells started to kick so we kept it on a east troll with the waves at our back. Ended up 3/3 in about 3 hours with one at 23 pounds. Chartreuse was what worked today. Jilly Billy Paddle with meat took two on a deep rigger and Kryptonite paddle w/fly on 300' copper took one. Decided to pull lines and had back as the swells continued to grow and we had an 11 mile run back to the harbor.

Your always on fish! Nice Job!

Well done!

Fished 10 of the last 11 days (or something like that) Today & tommorrow are a blow off. Many different friends & family in/out of camp this month so we have been on the water a lot! Mostly afternoon/evening trips. Fished from 45'- 600' during this stretch. Couple of slow days, couple decent days and a few solid double digit days. Many Kings over 20lbs and 2 at about 26lb were the highlight. Couple of personal bests for some friends! Spent one evening chasing browns for the last two hours of daylight and it was non-stop action. A few doubles and one triple made for a fun time. We were trying to get one for the board but only managed a 6lb or so as our largest brown. Only kept one for the grill. Fat Nancy pro troll with a clean green meat head & dyed bait strip took most of the shots right on the bottom. Meat rigs, Flasher Fly & spoons all having their days but meat has been the most consistent for big Kings. 300 & 400 copper with Meat had some banner days. Wannabe paddle w/Musslehead meat rig produced multiple strikes almost everyday. Also Lances Two Face Stinger paddle w/matching Diabolic meat rig took some good fish. S/D Two Face & Valium w/Atomik Flys on divers were fairly consistent. Yesterday Koyote Nitro Glow w/Atomik fly was good for 4 mature kings. Spoons that worked for us were Die hard, NBK, Hammerhead & Fat Nancy. The night we were brown fishing we also took a Mature king on a Stinger standard Double Orange Crush in 55 fow. Hopefully back at it on Saturday

Yup its a real catch and not all that uncommon. Typically an injury from previously being caught and released when the fish was small. I caught a King last year with two mouths although it was slightly different. The one I caught had teeth on both upper & lower jaws And if you look at the side it appeared to have a second gill plate. Still most likely an injury from being caught when young and it healed this way. I released the fish hoping someone else would have the enjoyment of catching it. Afterwards I thought "maybe I should have had it mounted" would have made a good conversation piece.
