It's always a good thing when one's buddy has a serious 22' bass boat. We have fished together for over 40 years. Early on I had the water craft - usually a canoe or a small jon boat. In all honesty, I enjoy fishing out of my Old Town the most. But... I have learned to deal with the Ranger... Our fishing
tastes have evolved as well. He is a professional grade bass specialist and I am a multispecies nut.
Last Tuesday found us on the reservoir northeast of Indy. He got there predawn and fished until I could
get away at about 10 AM. I met him at the dock and away we went. He had the front seat and was fishing a variety of baits. I commandeered the back seat and peppered the shore with an assortment of
small jigs. We fished for about 3 hours altogether. True to form he caught several nice bass, the largest going 2.5 pounds and I ran it up on crappie, bluegill and one redear that went 13 ounces and looked like a miniature hubcap. All in all a good summer trip.
fish on,
