<p>Looks like a grand time in the water, although the winning position wasn't in your favor. As long as you had fun, that what counts. Of course, 1st placed would have been nice.</p>

<p>Good job, with the big fish pot. I figured the kayaks would have a good showing. Sounds like you had fun and that is what is important!!!</p>

Good open water boat. I bet it tracks nicely.<br />
I'm selling my little Hobie Mirage this week, to get a float tube. mine is too small, only 10 feet, and cramped. It is also not suited to bigger water... which my home lake has plenty of, so I keep to waters that could as readily be fished from a tube.<br />
The tube is also easier to get in and out the truck. I'm just not into wrestling kayaks....

<p>David, I have a 2007 Perception Search 13.</p>

<p>David, I have a 2007 Perception Search 13.</p>

<p>It's proving to be well suited for lake fishing. Fairly narrow for it's size; I can maintain 5.5 or 5.6 mph for about 150 yards in a sprint, and cruise at 3.5 mph for several miles. I was taking some interesting chop today; following seas (I think that's what you call it when the waves are overtaking you from behind?) mixed with a large boat wake coming almost from my beam. Had to turn into that a bit, taking the boat wake from the right front quarter, and the wind-driven waves from my right rear quarter. A very interesting rocking motion, to say the least.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I just reconfigured my anchor trolley. Now my connection point goes all the way from bow to stern. I haven't done a backwards drift, bow to the wind, like I normally do when drifting for cats, but I did do several drifts dragging my drift sock from the stern. Hardly any wind-cocking issues.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Here's a pic just after I re-did the anchor trolley:</p>

<p>Probably about 50 miles south, Greg. Bell Cow. The map book I have for the state doesn't even SHOW this lake. I had to look it up online last night, then I got all excited when I started seeing all the standing timber in the satellite images.</p>
