[split] The eye bite has begun at Willard

[Troutster]

Dang it.  I'm still boatless and recovering from my shoulder replacement.  Still hoping to have the new boat this month.

May I ask what boat you ordered? I ask because I picked up a boat last fall and am still figuring out how I want it set up. It’s my first so always looking to learn from folks who have more experience than I.

Adventure Sport 1775

Ordered it with Complete Vinyl Floor; no carpet.  It's 100% a fishing boat.  Max engine (Merc 115 Pro XS).  Minn Kota 24 vdc Ulterra Quest up front to troll with and 2 Cannon Mag 10 STX DRs.  Garmin Echomap Ultra 2 106SV Sonar w/transducer.  It's a good start but will require some accessories to make it perfect.  

Very cool.  I did a similar setup with my Vexus but didn’t get the Ulterra and regret it.  Also haven’t splurged on a down rigger yet.  That’s probably my next big purchase.  Last fall I did 2 trips to the Gorge and 2 to Powell.  It’s been really fun having a nice fishing boat.  Can’t wait for Willard and Mantua to turn on.  Hope your new boat shows up soon!
