Just bought my first bass boat

Featured Replies

Tracker 17 ft with a 75 hp. I've gotta put a little bit of work into it to get it completely ready, but most everything works as is. I'm looking forward to getting out in it...wish the upcoming weekend's weather looked better.

thank ya.

also wanted to add that if anyone in the area wants to spend a day on the lake, let me know and we'll set it up. I'm always interested in learning new techniques especially since I'm not used to fishing the lakes in my area.

congrats!!! rule number 1: must post pics!

I just may take you up on that.  Our younger daughter lives not far from you in Temple.

When we take the route which includes I-75 we get off at Cartersville and take the shortcut along 61 to the Buchanan Highway. 

Don't look for me in the summer.  Too hot and humid in your neck of the woods.

A buddy and I are going down in late March for a week's fishing from a canoe.  Plan to hit Varner, and maybe Stone Mountain.  The remaining days will be closer to her home.

congrats on the boat. post pics when you get a chance. ;D

I paid 3500. It's a 95 and is in pretty decent shape.

Rhino, just let me know man.

And I know about the pics. I was gonna just use the ones from the ad and he took it down before I got back...I may have stopped by the lake on the way. :) Once I catch my first fish out of it I'll try to get a picture.  8-)

Maybe in Sept/Oct, or around Thanksgiving.  You live near Allatoona Lake if I'm not mistaken.  That's another place I want to try, but too large for a canoe.  Tough to explore unfamiliar water with a canoe.  Takes too long to get around. 

A battery is only good for five or six hours when a lot of time is spent moving from one place to another at max speed.

That's probably where I'll be keeping my boat. I sail out of there so I'm pretty familiar with it.
