I've heard that about Beltzville, that's a shame.  I've never been there before either but have heard that it once was a nice fishery.  If you ever want to I'd be willing to get together and do some fishing sometime.  Not that I know the lake or am good, but Harvey's lake is another one if you'd be interested in coming up and we'll go fish it together.

I'm game for certain. Thanks

    Got my first boat (not counting old jon boat). '18 Crestliner VT 17. Lots to learn, for sure.     

  • I finally have my first "real" bass boat.  Up til now I've been fishing off just about that anything that floats besides a bass boat.  Kayaks, coleman crawdad, a 25foot cobalt, but never had a bass bo

True. I've bypassed pak to go to one of them before. I'd do it again for champlain or candlewood. I go to hopatcong before I would pak :D

 

 

But enough derailmenty

May I ask where you spend most of your time fishing?

I have a brother that lives in Plattsburg. But alas, we not on the best of speaking terms.

My buddy and I are planning a trip up to West Swanton there on the peninsela next July to do some fishing since that's where he grew up.

Sold my Prowler Big Game to clayton.  Still have my Bullet and Xpress boaits.  Been playing around in this, a Jackson Cuda.  It's not my favorite boat, and has some issues with it's design, but as a simplified craft for small water, especially with current, it works.

It's settled. My winter project is to find a sensible 14ft aluminum boat to intelligently customize so I can bring my 8yo stepson out more easily to have Quabbin- and so I don't get hosed on the dock like last time when they were out of rentals. (They need conservation seals to be allowed on, so you need a dedicated boat)

It has to happen. I need it in my life!! That said, what say you oh wise boat sages- v bottom or flat bottom? (Small motor, low deck and sensible seating)

Thanks! I think I will have probably start a thread about it soon, I have in depth questions and don't want to derail this thread.

Semi V is the preference for many of the NYC ressy anglers as well.  There's some that prefer the extra room a flat jon provide.

Changed up my Hobie armada for the upcoming year.  I added two new hulls - one is the new Hobie Outback which I will post later once I get it on the water and rigged.  The one I have taken out so far is the Hobie Quest.  It paddles like it is on rails and is super easy to handle on the water.  I christened her properly last week with an inshore slam of striper, redfish and speckled trout.

Upgraded to a 97 Ranger Sport R70 mid summer. Got a great deal on it and after I sold my 86 Ranger 320V I ended up making $200 after tax.

 I see you have what looks like registration numbers on the yak in the 3rd photo. Are you required to register your kayaks on Oklahoma?  We don't have to register kayaks in MO

Question, what is the length of the boat, horsepower of the motor? I'm thinking about buying a similar used boat myself.

The Sport R70 is 17'6" with the setback and it is rated for a 130 which is what this one has on it. You'll see a lot of them with 115's though.
