Hi everyone,
I joined the forum a few months ago and have been reading the daily posts since. I finally purchased a 14' Aluminum boat with an 18hp motor. This is the first time I have really every fished from a boat (grew up fishing from a float tube) and I have a few questions I hope the experienced boaters/anglers can help me with.
First, good places to launch my boat at lake mead and not get swamped by the bigger boats ( I have 4 wheel drive and dont mind using it). Next, what technique/knot
should I use to keep my line from getting all coiled up while trolling? I took it to Panguitch lake last week (fishing is great!) and got my line all tangeled up from the lures I was using. Finally, any other suggestions for first time boat fisherman for Mead? I could also use some tips on Mohave as I would love to take my two girls down
there as well!
THANKS! And have a safe 4th of July!!!!
