20+ pounds is pretty impressive given the conditions.  Sounds like some people had fun days, others had horrible days.  I'm not sure if I could have dealt with the cold and the wind blowing so hard.  Glad you guys didn't have any problems with the dropping water and bad weather.

That's too bad it was such a brutal day..I was hoping it would better for all of you.

It's days like you described that clinched my decision to splurge on a power pole. I bought the 8' sportsman model, which works fine for a bit less $$. I was tired of my hubby getting worn out trying to keep the boat positioned especially when we were on fish and trying to avoid being blown over them. (I take turns, but he likes the front and I like my head too much to be near his hook sets)

It was the best investment besides the boat for the both of us.

Hubby will fish the Gambler tournament out of Lake Kissimmee, with his son.

man i was hoping everyone did well. i have a tournament out on the lake this weekend. kind of worried now lol

Weather actually looks good for this weekend.  Warming trend started today.  Supposed to be close to 70 by Saturday.

yea i just hope the fish want to bite this weekend

bruce u should know better than that...once uve fished on a boat with a power pole its almost impossible to fish on one without it..best invest ive ever made hands down...

just call rich at hydrilla gear and he'll hook you up with a sweet set-up  (tell him i told u to call)...he just got me that new 8' signature series   its super fast and u cant even hear it. and it looks awsome they come with the cover and everything...

kenny

yea i just hope the fish want to bite this weekend

Me too. I'm gonna try Lox tomorrow. I was on some good fish there, but I've only fished it once in the past five weeks. Anyone heading out there send me a PM, let's hook up.
