Only hit the ice 4 times at camp, usually 8-10 times. Worst year ever in my opinion, in March I went with the dog and only landed 2 salmon. Usually would have gotten 10-12 to the hole. In NJ right now picking up my new toy.....World Cat 266sf. Definitely an ocean boat, but will get it tuned for Rangeley & Moosehead this summer. Only drafts 18" since it's a catamaran hull. Will post after the first Haddock trip to Jeffries Ledge
Hope the rest of Team Maine is making the migration over from the Shanty also! Especially pumped for trolling season after such a suspect ice season. Got a new Hummingbird Helix 7 already for MGK to install for me as soon as I get the boat out of storage, its time for the 15 year old lowrance to say bye bye. Boat speakers will get replaced as well. Should be a great spring seeing how little pressure there was this winter. Ice fishing is great but open water is where it is at. Anybody got some new stuff? Good luck this spring guys.
I hope you got a comfy new seat for your newly Retired buddy/Co-pilot
