in my favorite spots. Took a friend from another board out for his first striper trip, he passed the test and the new Lund 1890 ProV I'd give an A+; man what a sweet ride in conditions I would have been soaked in short order in the old Tracker Tournament V-17.

It was great to be back at my favorite striper spots and I managed 20+ fish, with maybe one keeper. Note to myself; measure and mark the 28 inches on the gunnel of the boat...lol. Drew caught some nice ones, for someone that's used to catching those little freshwater varieties; including the one in the pic.

Had to swap a trolling motor battery to crank the outboard around 9:30 and run in to buy a new cranking, but at least my starting problem is now behind me. Then I cut off the second transucer cable this year with the new Minn Kota RipTide trolling motor prop. I've got to figure out some way, which I thought I had by making several turns around the shaft with several wire ties, to insure there isn't any loose transducer wire for the prop to catch.

I'm am so pumped for a brand new season, does anyone know how to make it drag, instead of fly by like it usually does.
