I got a new (to me) 18' Alumacraft 1860 with Merc 80 jet a while back and finally got my girls out on it. The boat has been parked in my garage over the winter and in the last couple of weeks we have got it out and running. First trip was just a test drive with me and a couple buddies to make sure she would still run. This trip was the first trip with the kids. We took her out across the lake, dropped the trolling motor, and the kids all cast out. About 20 minutes into it, my oldest daughter says "Dad! I got one!" Cool, first fish in the new boat! The fishing pretty much sucked after that, we never caught another. We were mostly out getting used to the boat anyhow. A good time was had by all.
