I had a father and son team from Wisconsin who had chartered me for 2 days and were game enough today (as tomorrow might be a wash) to tighten their belts and press on with me. Setting lines was easier because of the 6 line limit I was limited to today, and things started off great when I had a fish on with only 3 rods set. But the boat handling and control wasn't that great in chop and wind gust to 25 MPH today. A couple of my turns to go back or against the waves were very severe because of the wind. And having one or the other planer boards appear almost in front of the boat after the turn, is not the suggested way to do things. Anyway, we boated 26 walleyes and boxed 13, 50/50 for the day, along with a Pike and a white perch. Attachments ----------------  IM001157.JPG (119KB - 65 downloads) | ||

But 3 to 4 footers is the extreme range for boat control for the 8 Horse Yamaha HT on the old Grady. Once I got the boat turned and against or with the waves things were fine. It was the innitial turn and getting sideway in the heavy wind that made the boat swing around quit fast.   | ||
