So I upped my game this year and called Arlon at Back Water Inc and built this little bugger..
The shallow and plant life choked off water south of Bismarck has always been something I wanted to explore. As a younger man I spent many days in an old set of tennis shoes wading from Sibley boat ramp across to the sandbars chasing carp.
So with the new ride I can access any back water I can find. After burning close to 10 gal of gas in my Predator 420 14HP engine and one oil change to Royal purple oil I can report that the boat is amazing !!!
As long as there is water under the plant life I can drive through it, there has been times that the only water I can see is behind the boat after the salad shooter from hell has mowed a trail.....
So my son and I have been harassing the rough fish and I haven't laughed so hard in a long time as I did when I hit them with the prop. Here is a pic of one of the prop strike victims.
My son is not able to draw a real bow so with one of the Scheels little dude bows he has been giving it his best shot. He has stuck a couple but the barb on the arrow hasn't made it past the skin.
I bought the bottle reel set up from AMS and it is the cats ass. Couple victims from it and my ancient Browning compound.
So the fish are spreading out and I'm gonna try night fishing starting tonight. Only thing that I don't like about this boat ( 1432 ) is that it's strictly a 2 person boat, so I'm looking to go bigger. Probably a 1648 with a 23HP V-twin for next year. So my little sampan might be up for grabs.
