I am looking at 2 very similar boats Lund fisherman 1800's one is a 2000 and one is a 1999. My question is the 2000 has a 2000 130 hp Honda 4stroke and the 1999 has a 1994 rebuilt 115 hp 2 stroke evinrude. the 2000 with the 130 hp 4 stroke is $4000 more. Is it worth it? is a 115 even big enough for a 18' fisherman. I am set on getting a 18' fisherman so the boat isn't the issue I'm just curious on different opinions about the cost difference factor between the outboards. Thanks
Opener was decent on Saturday and absolutely on fire Sunday. 9 eyes, three over 25 in, one at 28.5. A bunch of largemouths, some crappie and perch and a TON of bullhead. One of those weekends where your hands start to hurt.
I'm quite happy since I'm going fishing with a pal for the first time in a long time. We plan to purchase some clothing for it, such as exclusive hoodies.
Crappies are all up shallow in the south metro. Caught this one shore fishing with a beetle spin from a more secluded lake without much access. All of the crappies were between 7-9 inches with this 11.5" being the exception
A co-worker reported they had some the best fishing ever on V last weekend. Trolling 6-8 feet in the morning with HJ10’s. Where the water temps were in the mid/low 50’s
Those campsites are right across the water from us. Seem pretty well protected and I haven't heard of challenging over there. Holiday weekends they fill up very fast
My son camped on Hinsdale with his aluminum runabout. Nice site but walking across the hull parked on uneven ground he separated a couple of the rivets.
