  1. I have a gheenoe Lt 25 with a Tohatsu 25 hp on it. Not sure how much it ways. If I had to guess no more than 600 . Have you guys heard of just adding tilt bunk extension?
  2. Hi guys just curious if anyone launches with a tilt trailer. I got some spots I want to get to but there is no boat ramps. Thinking of getting a tilt trailer? Or would it be a wasted investment or would I do damage?
  3. Went out to Markham park in Plantation and nothing. Fished out of west boat ramp and went as far north as I could and worked my way back. Anyone else try there . I've heard good things.

  6. When you get into thick vegetation do you just use trolling motor or motor. Ran into problems at lox rd boat ramp with vegetation constantly getting wrapped around motor and with poling platform and bench can't get back there to clean weeds . I got a couple ideas but being a googan to boats any help is nice

  10. Awesome advice glades ! Will do next time
  11. Nothing wrong with motor but it doesn't quite trim up all the way . I knew about it when I bought it. I finally going to get my trolling motor back and just use that to get through the thick stuff.
  12. Yeah you are right I don't just want to get rid of just yet especially if I get into red fishing etc. i have to work out the kinks . One problem I have is I can't trim all the way up , I knew it when I got it . I have a pole and felt like a complete moron out there trying to use it . Lol i guess all part of the journey. Hate being a googan but love this new sport hobby, hell lifestyle I have picked up. Thank you all for the helpful ideas
  13. I got the lt 25, so far good . Just have to get it set up for the way I want to fish
  14. Thanks for the tips ! Think I'm going to have to sell the polling platform, just can't get back to the motor with that thing on . Plus going to add grass ninja to trolling motor when I finally get it back.
  15. Jm525 it was my first time out I just headed west and then went into flats
  16. Thanks guys . Appreciate the help . Hopefully I move out of googan stage.
  17. Hello just wondering how everyone was doing out that way went fish over Thanksgiving and bite was tough. 1 3lb and a couple other dinks over two mornings. Plus does anyone else have problems with thick vegetation constantly wrapping around propeller and how do they get off. I can't simply reach back because of polling platform . Gheenoe Lt 25
  18. Hi guys . New Gheenoe owner here and first time boat owner. Thick grass is constantly getting around my propeller when I get into the flats and it obviously boogs me down . I can not just reach back and remove due to fishing platform in the back. And I definitely don't feel like jumping up n water to remove grass . Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
  19. Awesome feedback guys, I'm a big guy 300 . Can I get away with classic or spend the extra and go with super. Definitely want to be able to stand and fish with 2 people.
  20. Hello, looking into getting my first boat and herd some stuff about the gheenoe. The super 16 to be exact. Any owners or people that owned that could give some feed back. I live in south Florida so would occasionally fish lake o, but mostly canals. Thanks.
  21. Some of the tough guys in here make me laugh, again I'm new to fishing, and love it. I never got to do this growing up. I dedicate all my time to baseball and boxing and then ended up in the Marine Corps and then became a PGA pro. I now am a tower crane operator and have seen how fishing is an amazing sport. I was just looking for some advice on how to not to harm the fish. I'm very happy for all the people that came out of the womb as professional anglers . For the rest thank you so much for your input. If it ever happens again wich I'm sure it will I guess I will have bass for the first time.
  22. Thanks for the info guys I'm new to fishing and have not run into this before, first fish I have lost and want to do what ever I can to not let it happen again! What a great sport . I never fished or hunted growing up.
  23. Go the bass didn't die while she had it in water it was alive, I just want to make sure I can release fish as healthy as possible.
  24. Hi guys , I'm a 100 percent catch and release!! Last night I caught a bass and it was hooked through tongue. Tried to get it out with my hands no success. So I put fish back in water had my wife hold pole while I ran inside to get pliers . I was just fishing my back yard. I finally got hook out and he didn't make it !! I am disgusted with my self! What did I do wrong ? I never want this to happen again.
