Congrats Pat, sounds like great quality even if the numbers were down... So when you go without waders do you wear swim trunks or just fast drying pants? Hadn't heard of any speedo sightings or streakers in the area... Be nice to ditch the waders if you didn't have to drive home wet... I'm getting so lazy on the hassle of setting up the toon to fish that I'm just taking the boat all the time... I like fishing from the toon more when I'm at the fishing spot and all set up, but I hate wasting half of my fishing time loading up and setting up the fish finder, motor, battery and etc... But I typically get about two hours to fish at best per trip...
Last night I decided at 7:00 that I didn't have anything else that had to be done, so I hooked up the boat ran to the marina, was launched and headed to my spot by 7:30, fishing a few minutes later... Caught a 20 some inch cat and missed a bunch of bait stealers and headed back to the marina by 8:30, loaded by 8:45 and in the house before 9:00... Sure wish I had more time to enjoy it, but sometimes just a boat ride is all it takes to reset the clock... On my toon I wouldn't have gotten launched before I had to start heading home... But someday I hope to get some time to enjoy the finesse that the toon offers, might be October, but hopefully I get there this fall...
Been wondering how I could modify the boat so I could take the toon along to where I wanted to fish, then deploy the toon lite (minus battery motor and finder) and fish with finesse and then motor in the boat back home when done... Try to get the best of both worlds... Probably be too much hassle, but sounds good in my head while I'm dreaming about going fishing... Later J
