Spring Time Big Water and Bass Boats

Here is just another reminder folks about what happens we think Bass boats are safe on any water. Last spring this time of year 4 people died on Lake Erie, less than 2 mile from shore, boat was recovered with no damage, but full water. This year already, this boat and it's fisherman were lucky, they got pulled to safety by a near by boat, but could barely make it aboard the rescue vessel under their own power. Big water is cold this time of year, and once you get wet Hypothermia will set in,,, no if or buts. Once that happens you better hope others nearby are able and willing to help. 

The other thing is most folks don't have tow insurance, one thing we never go without on the big water!! These guys learned both lessons the hard way. 

1) No bass boat is safe in this weather on the great lakes, especially Lake Erie!!

2) They could have bought tow insurance for the season for life for the $3000.00 tow bill they paid to get the boat back to shore!

Guys if your not experienced in these type of waters, trust me this time of year it is the most unforgiving, small boats ar a no no anytime, but this time of year you only compound the dangers venturing into big water with vessels not made for this task! 

Its our favorite time of year folks, have fun enjoy the season and keep it safe so you can enjoy many more!!!!! Fortunately these guy will fish again, but y it was a ruff start to their season, and not the way we want learn this lesson. you may trick the big water in these frigid waters, but it is only a matter of time and you will end up in the trick bag ......
