Sounds like you put in a valiant effort! I too had a 25lb king make a mockery out of me when I let him out run the boat outside of the diver/rigger on my Strbrd side that still had a rigger and diver out. He then charged the boat and I ended up netting him in front of my kicked out rigger and diver, right next to the steering wheel 2/4 of the way up the boat. He was still hot and thrashing so I lucked out!

Great picture!

Les. You're right there. I'm still bouncing around with Sea legs!

You guys are awesome! WTG

Just fished Fair Haven for 8 days. It was a slow. Went 14 for 28 bites on the trip. Best day was 4 for 7 all 4 matures. Worst day was the last 0 for 3. Went 3 days without a spoon bite and decided to tie a 15lb leader on and then started getting spoon bites " Moonshine Black Ice 25 back in 52* water, on my chute rigger. Biggest fish was a 27lber. Most interesting catch was a 21lber that hit an old Salmon slammer spoon that I haven't tried in years and it was slider cheated 1/2 way down to 100ft.If it weren't for that fish I would have been biteless that day. The day I had a steady bite they were hitting my deep rigger at 120ft with a green dot SD 7ft. back with an Atomik 503 Green crinkle Glow on while my probe was at 85 in 49* water and spoon at 80. Only had 2 diver hits all week and one was last day when I dug out another old Salmon Slammer spoon! I also threw an old Pro King green spoon on a fixxed cheater the last day and we had a fatty of a steelhead on for 2 leaps then gone. 1st fish of the trip1st Mature of the tripCorned Deer on Rye with swiss cheese, Homemade Coleslaw, Nancy's Sharp mustard & 1000Island DressingCame in at the Finish of a Bass Tourney.

The last day of packing I saw that it was ripped to shreds. I looked for a nest but none found. Here's what I found when I got back from my trip and opened up the kicker to drain the carb. It ran flawless for 8 days straight. Got lucky there!Home sweet home!

Was that Alumin. floor stock or installed later?

Love mine too! I think I need to customize my forward floor area and build an insulated fish cooler into the floor.

Excellent!

That is a GREAT pic!

I always dilly dalley when pulling up the spread, trying to get that last bite, leaving the hottest set up in till last. Then you get a fish and set back up because you think the bite is ON!

Nice job fellas!

I varnished plywood, glued packing foam on and wrapped with marine vinyl from cabelas back in 1999. It has held up well with the exception of where downrigger cables have gouged it a bit in the back. I was fortunate to have my mom sew them with My heavy duty sewing machine. Mine are only on the sides though.
