Bullrun I have a boat very similar to yours and I am in the middle of restoring it too. I actually work in Nashville so I am not to far from you either. It is very possible to restore your boat to make a decent fishing boat, just take your time and make sure you really think through the changes you make on the boat before you actually do them. Also Tpayneful, do you have any pics of the rear deck.

I am going to be flying out to see my kids next week and was really hoping to be able to go fishing with them when I get there. I will be staying somewhere around the Lorton Va area and am looking for a good place to fish. I looked online and found a place called Lake Burke Park. But their website didn't say anything about if they had bass in the lake. Also they do rent small jon boats for a decent price so that really got me interested in this place too. Can anyone shine some more light on this area for me or if they know a better place to go fishing in the area. I have never been to virginia before and any help at all will be greatly appreciated. Also if there is no bass what is the most abundant to fish for and if you have any tackle or lure suggestions that would be great.

sent you a pm

Me personally I would love to go fishing for peacocks its just getting the others to put up the funds to go too.

MFD... Manchester Fire Department Firefighter..... my job 661....My ID number I signed up to the forum one day at work and that is what I picked. I now have since signed up on other forums with the same. :-?

anybody hear any reviews on the spinnerbait kid?

Thats good Jeff is actually one of the guides that we have looked at online. Ill give him a call then and see what we can come up with. As far as traveling we don't mind to go as far as a full days drive away so Florida would be about the farthest we would go. Not sure how far Lake Fork is from here.

Me and a buddy are thinking about the BR roadtrip, but for this occasion I would like to get a guide since this may be my grandfathers last big outing. I called Fred and he doesn't do any largemouth and is exclusively on Dale Hollow, which is a lake that we have fished a few times and since it is considered a local lake, not really what I am looking for.

Me and my uncle want to take my grandfather out on one last big outing. We live in middle Tennessee and are all very big fans of topwater bass fishing. We were thinking about taking him to Guntersville this coming spring but are very open to other lakes if someone can suggest something better. Since none of us has ever used a guide service, we have no idea what to look for in one. Since this may be the last big outing my grandfather is able to do we want to do everything top of the line, the best guide service out there. If any of you have any recommendations for guide services that would be great or if you think that we may have a better time fishing topwaters on a different lake please let us know. Thanks in advance and tight lines to all.

here are the pics as I bought it (minus) the trailer jack I just put on. as you can see it needs work but for the price we cant beat it. The motor that came with the boat is just a parts motor if we decide to go gas and someone donated a "running" motor to us that is identical

Well we are ready to start working on this thing. We finally got the boat to my house tonight unfortunatly with it getting dark at 5 now there is no time to work. I did get one picture of it before dark so as soon as I can figure out how to post it I will have it up.

it looks like a late 70's early 80's tri=hull runabout

I just bought a vintage conolon rod for my grandfather. Its a rod he has been looking for for many years. I got a pretty good deal on the rod and I am happy with it but I would like to put new updated guides on it and Im not sure how I would go about doing this or who I can take it to to do it.

Tennessee.......well maybe not but since I am from Tennessee I am gonna vote for it ;D

Just wondering if anyone knew anything about National Boats. Looked at one today I just have never heard of this brand. Any info would help
