Hi guys, I tell you what, I just started bass fishing this past w.e. in the miami canals and small lakes near the turnpike. Didn't catch anything but had a great time with my kid. I'm sure I was doing everything that a roookie can do wrong but I'm reading and learning. As for the boat, I think thats awesome. You can now reach more places than before. Wish I had one . I have friends that know a lot more than me and I will learn from them. What I did learn this w.e. is that spraying your line helps the casting. My friend sprayed Line and Lure the nite before and I felt the difference immediately. I practiced casting in my yard a week before goin out and wow, what a difference at the lake. Anyway, we'll keep trying to catch THE BIG ONE, i'll settle for a small one right now. I was invited to go out to a nearby canal on a small boat tomorrow, we'll see how it goes. Hopefully i'll post a picture. Great site !!!!!!!!!!!!
