Bill I’ve got a 2006 15 ½ foot Boston Whaler center console Montauk with a 4 stroke 60 hp Merc which I’ve used quite a bit on the bigger lakes in the area I live. It’s worked out great and has meant all my expectations.
I’d love to get into some stripper fishing with this boat. I’ve never done any and am a bit hesitant to put into water I’m completely unfamiliar with. I spent the later part of this winter tying nothing but striper fly’s so I’m in pretty good shape there.
What I’d like to do is hire a guide to fish the American or the Delta and take my boat out to do the fishing out of. This would allow me to become familiar with the water in my boat as well as learn some of the details of striper fishing.
Any suggestions? My boat is set up with GPS, Sonar and a transom mount 55 pound thrust Minn Kota trolling motor. I used to do quite a bit of steelhead fishing before I moved to the mountains so I’m pretty well set up with the heavier weight rods, reels and lines including an assortment of shooting heads.
Thanks for any information,
Pete
Sonny, the black lab, ran ahead to make sure there were no gophers or jackrabbits in the way. If you don't give a dog a specific job, he'll improvise one for himself and it will invariably be fun. There's a lesson there.
