Guyp,
Great work on the fish. When you see that number of stripers on the sonar, drop a jig. if they are anything like the stripers I fish for you are in for a good time.

Caught ten today 2 to 4 1/4 lbs (kept 5). Lyn pictured with 2 1/2 pounder. Did not try the down jigging method as they did not show up in large groups. Boat is still doing nicely. With both of us standing on one side for a little while netting the big one had a little water up through sole drain. In line check must have leaked a little. Wasn’t much water and drained out quickly when we leveled off a little.

She’s settling in to lake life quite nicely. Added a triangle of decking in the boat slip that’s gonna make gassing her up a lot easier.

Yes for sure. Not as bad as salt water but some lakes including this one deposit iron and manganese. Tough to get off.

I'm going to guess/hope that you have a chair(or more) in front of that boathouse so you can sit and stare at the boat for long periods, recalling the various trials/tribulations that went into finally getting her in that lift. Just awesome!
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Most gracious comment VT Jeff. Don’t generally sit still much unless it’s in a deer stand, a pick up or of course a boat.
