What a week we have had it's been crazy since last Friday when we sold the old boat. We headed up to Holland Michigan Saturday morning to purchase the new boat after a successful sea trial we headed home with the new boat in tow. We now needed to have it rigged and ready to fish by Sunday morning if we wanted to make the Buffalo Bill Tournament out of Michigan City, IN. We stayed up working on the boat until 1am to get it ready then we got a couple hours of sleep and woke up around 3:30am to head to the launch to fish the tournament. We were basically doing a shakedown during a tournament and it worked well for us as we were able to catch our 10 fish we needed to meet our tournament limit and put us in 7th place. We fished deep off shore for our coho and caught them anywhere from the surface to 80ft down with our hot rod being a Michigan Stinger UV mixed veggie down 75ft on rigger. Our hot baits were Michigan Stinger spoons and assorted body baits. Now as far as the new boat goes it's a 23ft Polar with twin 115 4stroke outboards and is exactly what we have been wanting! We have been working on it non stop since Monday and still not completely finished, but I was finally able to find a few minutes to give you guys a report and update. We plan on fishing the Hoosier Coho Club Classic next weekend in Michigan City, IN which will be our first Tournament Trail stop of the season and we can't wait!

Nice upgrade, good luck on the tournament trail!

Looks great. Get a win this weekend

Looks great Joe. I plan to fish the classic as well. I sure hope the forecast turns around. These north winds are getting old.........

You got that right but man it's sure not looking good North gales to 45knots

Good luck with the new boat Joe

They're like Christmas trees in a way. The more decorations you hang on them the prettier they get. Great looking big water boat. Outboards are hard to beat.

Awesome boat! Good luck if the tournament is a go.

Very nice Joe!
