Welcome aboard fisherdude. I see you live in the middle of the country so you can trailer your boat to either coast depending on what's running. That's dedication to the sport. I can only fish the one coast myself and I don't do much of that anymore.
Thanks for the welcome, The boat is used mostly on the Big Lake for trout and salmon, never fished in the ocean. Yes, we get the snow, a little to much. But with the snow theres hard water fishing.
