Got out for the first time this year with 3 friends and had a great shake down trip. Boat ran well fished well like normal. It can’t be a shake down trip without some issues. On the way back in my stereo died but it may just be a fuse. If that’s the worst thing that happens I can’t complain. Gary light was on fire.

It's better to ask forgiveness than for permission.

Looks like you guys murdered them this trip. What did you catch them on? Trolling or casting?
I uncovered my Searunner this morning and ran my G2 and the Honda for about 15 minutes each and then restarted them an hour later and let them run for another 10. G2 started pretty easily and the Honda had to be coaxed some to get started. Some reason the bulb kept loosing pressure at first. Must have had an air pocket or something. Looking to make my first run up in a week or so. Hopefully the weather will hold up for me and I am looking forward to seeing you guys on the lake soon.

My Searunner 190, "Four "D's" and a "C". Retirement money well spent.

I ran a lot of different color patterns and they all worked well. Tip use your favorite dirty water coho baits. 2.8 at the ball was best for speed. Little fellas are hungry.
