How much surface area do you generally cover on this size of lake? What time duration do you spend covering said water? What areas do you generally stay in (coves, points, main channel)? Do you ever hit lake belton or stillhouse?

Absolutely loving this thread. I have been considering one of those little plastic assassins for a while now. They look more comfortable than my yak has been. So how durable are these little bad boys? Do they have a lifespan?

so what kind of time frame is this "unofficial" trip targetting?

I'm listening

Yes Sir!!

It's an interesting tool, but I don't let it decide when I toss a line. Work and life seem to be the tightest constraints on my fishing.

I didn't start bass fishing until I was 18 or 19 years old. I remember being out of high school and aching for a hobby that didn't involve athletics(which was my hs life). It started out with some cheap kmart specials and the fortune of working part time for the local parks department. I just happened to be stationed at a park with a 30 acre lake. The reel fell apart and the rod broke.....but not from maintenance, heavy use owned that setup. The next reel purchased is still used over ten years later. Made a few friends on the water and learned a lot from them.
