Hi Mojo,
We have a 16' blue Hewescraft Sportsman. Congrats on your sturgeon. Yes, C.J. definitely needs a spell of warm weather. But that shouldn't be an excuse for the trout we were aiming for. Oh, well, the main reason for the trip was to make sure the boat was running well before we head up to Coeur d'Alene for chinook, and to test our Sidewinder planers. They are the on-line type, and they work great. They are considered necesarry this time of year at Coeur d'Alene since the chinook are in the top 25' of water, and spook easily . This $15 sideplaner is certainly cheaper than the cable types, and the guides at CDA are using them with success. Mike
