A great place to talk about the lake when you aren't on it.

Grab your kids and loved ones, get out of the water, and for God's sake Chief Brodey, please close the beaches.
6lb LMB I caught yesterday. I think I may be getting the gist of this fishing thing -- or just got very lucky for a beginner. Landing this slab was a thrill.

To be honest...I'm LOVING the outboard world, and I'm feeling REALLY good that I stepped up and bought a bass boat that could -- and does -- double as a performance boat.
I'm still getting used to this beast, and need much more seat and practice time before I try to hang it out there more, but I touched 72MPH Saturday afternoon GPS (boat has GPS speedo mounted in the dash, and GPS in the Humminbird unit at the helm. Both read exactly the same speed.
I know for a fact my boat under the right conditions, and with a highly skilled driver, is capable of more than that. Some claim 79-80, but I'm skeptical. 75 is totally within reach.
This all has me thinking that a great performance boat for Travis would be a 26 DCB with twin 300X's. Oh my.

Not sure where the pussycats are, but there are definitely some large ones out there. Sorry, but I'm not into catfish so I can't be of much help -- but fishing as you described sounds like a good time. I2D
