    1436 Alumacraft on Cedar

    Another shot of the 1542. It has the live well from the factory on the left side, but I left it closed up for storage. Looking at your post again it looks like you used deck boards, the 5/4 stuff instead of 2x4.......did that work good?

    Arkansas Tailwaters Question

    Having grown up in Arkansas, then back there for 15 years again, I have fished about every major river and lake in the state. For trout fishing I like the Little red over the White simply due to size and ability for a newbie to get in there and catch fish. I live in North Carolina now, but have...
