Well, in a strange turn of events I ended up with a Lowe 180 WZ with a 115 Evinrude. I found it on a website and went to look at it and closed the deal on it. It is a little rough around the edges but everything on the boat was solid. Plus, the electronics on the boat were outstanding, a brand new Lowrance HDS10, among other things. The boat has a huge front and rear castng deck and I am very impressed with it. I couldn't pass up the deal.

Ok, it looks like I am going to be getting a 2003 Pro 175; it has a 75 hp merc with low hours. So will I be able to fish 2 people off of the front casting deck?

Thanks guys, this is what I wanted to hear.

Stay away from the new abu reels, they will not hold up to muskie fishing at all....trust me, i went through 3 in one season, not one lasting over 2 months. I have had good luck with the Shimano Corvalus and Cardiff in the 400 size.

Hey guys I am going to be getting a used boat in the spring. I have been saving my money and I wanted to hear your opinions on Tracker Boats. Thanks

hhmmm, I'm not sure. All I know is that there was one on my dads boat for 7 years and the only problem we ever had was the foot pedal. But, it may be time for a new motor. The Terrova is a sweet trolling motor with an awesome foot pedal.

You probably need a new footpedal. The PowerDrives are noted for having problems with the footpedals. A new one cost 60-70 buckaroos.

just checked them out. VERY DIFFERENT! wasn't expecting that. i think i could get to like this band It's some good stuff for sure. It's different...but amazing.

I went Metal. I am a big fan of Metallica, Pantera, etc...the list could go on for days. A band one of my friends recently showed me was Alestorm. I really like their stuff. If you have never heard them, look them up on youtube.

Find the deepest weededge and start throwing a 9 inch bulldawg in sherbert color. Either that or a bright colored bucktail.

Haha, well I just threw it on my bumpboard really quick just too see how long it was. I guess thinking about it, I didn't even have a scale in the boat since I was muskie fishing. Oh well.

The fishing isn't bad, just got to weed through the little ones.

I caught this fish in a muskie tournament, so I didn't even think about weighing it until after I put her back. But I did measure here, she was 22 inches.

I have never fished for muskies in Wisconsin before, I may make it there this summer though and hopefully get Scott Kieper for a day. Then it's off to Minnesota for a day with Mike Hulbert. This is going to happen on my college visits. Good Luck

This is sad, once again the Wisconsin DNR proves that is is worthless. Are you fishing the PMTT?
