Made my shakedown trip this morning. Lake was rough and hard to control the boat but autopilot did pretty good. Started the morning breaking a rod tip at the slip. Lol Fishing was slow went 4 for 8 or 9. Thinfins and dodger and flies worked best.

Thanks for the report.  I started this morning losing my down rigger rod and reel while trying to set up.
