TJ, I will make an effort to catch a few BG x RES and post some photos. I tried for some today, but couldn't reach the spot I intended to fish, that being deep water about 50' off the dam.
Yeah, I learned that rope thing a few years ago myself....kinda sticks with a fellow after you experience it once. I tied off to a tree both days this weekend. And Scott's right about propelling the boat, except I no longer stand up and push off with my spud...... it works great until you get up a good head of steam and hit some snow on the ice...that's like slamming on the disc brakes for a jonboat,and you fly over the bench seat and crash into the bottom of the boat, damaging a lot of equipment....some of it anatomical in nature.
(That's why I couldn't reach the hybrid spot...too much snow on the thin ice.)
