Larry, I'm a 15 day a year die hard muskie fisherman...that of course means that most of my year is spent thinking about fishing, preparing to go fishing and rarely actually fishing...(because of wife, 3 year old son and work obligations)...anyway...I saw your recent show, where you used a saltwater bay boat to muskie fish...I always thought a bay boat would make a great muskie fishing machine...center console...room to run around the whole boat to figure 8 and fight fish, etc... Is there any reason that boats like that weren't previously thought of for fresh water? I've currently got a 2003 princecrat 18'...side console...with a 135 optimax on the back...its the same boat joe bucher was using before he recently switched to yarcraft. (found out princecraft cut there ad dollars) Its a pretty good boat...thick gunnels, reverse chines...deep v hull. Drafts kind of deep though. I've got to imagine that I could get shallower in that bay boat. What have your experience been like in the bay boat...any negatives?
Thanks again...keep up the great productions...by the way I like the "how to" segments where you show how to make baits and stuff...nice guitar/amp section in your house...reminds me of my little setup. For what its worth, you were always my fav infisherman guy back in the day. When I was a kid, I watched the "muskie!" video over and over and over again...there weren't too many shows about muskie fishing to watch back then.
