Not so much a walleye destination but meets your distance criteria and could get you back into the inland stripers... Smith Mountain Lake, VA

Sorry to hear about your boat! I have to live with that possibility every time I'm on the river here. Unfortunately no such thing as mud or cobble bottom around here.

Nice rig!! And nice hauls of fish.

The Susquehanna River is my home river. I would guess that you will not have the same rock/boulder issues we have so it simplifies things somewhat for you. This picture is an example of what we deal with. Taken on a low water level, so imagine boating thru/over all this mess when the water is...

Years ago I had a Lowe 1760 that I ran a 4 Hp Yamaha on as a kicker. It worked fine for lake trolling and to get out of ice during duck season and off sand bars on the Bay. It did struggle on the river against the current. I now occasionally use an 8 Hp on my G3 1966. It moves it quite well.

Glad I'm not the only one that despises those things. If I ever meet the bastards that passed laws requiring them, I'll beat them silly with an empty gas can.

Interesting read! Love the old super 8 clips. Never heard of meanchicken before. Will definitely be wasting lotsa time checking that site out.

Leaving tomorrow for my annual week of duck hunting on Eastern Shore VA. And with this crazy weather, I've still been fishing. Will get back to trying to figure out how to successfully catch walleye after duck season is over. Other than that, just work & firewood.

I'm fairly local (about 35 minutes) and spent years working a booth for RMEF so I now tend to only go when I can score free passes. Hopefully will again this year. Jim, if you have any interest in grabbing a beer or steak and beer with a member from the area, just let me know.

Another option for you to consider. They will build it however you like. I have no association with the company other than considering pulling the trigger on a 20' Sport as my retirement/last jet rig. https://www.wooldridgeboats.com/catalog/products/alaskan-xl

I've been thinking about this. Tempted, but resisting so far. Does anyone here have one of these? Impression? Online reviews aren't too good. Terrible battery life seems to be one common complaint.

Just a point to clarify.... G3 no longer uses any wood in their transoms. I believe they made that change in 2013. My dealer's experience is similar to posted above, it has led to some engine mounting issues and some oil-canning at the transom due to the forces of the motor. They replaced my...

See page 1 :wink: We do a lot of blasting for my work. Although I let my personal blasters license expire after 9/11 due to the massive regulatory changes that ensued....... my mind still quickly jumps to "Boom" for the solution to a variety of regular, around the house chores.

That's great!! Reminds me of the magic times fishing with my 2 girls at that age. It's different now that they're adults, but still love fishing time with them.

Love that 24' Lone Star. Raise that cabin enough to be walk under if not already and it would be a killer early and late season Bay striper boat. Tempting
