Finally Got the Maverick to Lanark

Post by Reel Slow »

After a long 6 week hiatus I finally got the to do list on the HPX-T completed, well mostly still no push pole, casting platform and remotes for the pp. Mounted Chalk's trolling motor which required drilling 4 holes but took a day to do. Running it and the rest of the boat off a 29 group battery..so far so good.

Gave a short test ride Friday. This HPX runs very skinny and floats in an honest 5". I was doubtful of the stats but it really does. It tops out at 37 with the 4 blade prop. Best part is she is absoluted dead quiet when fishing :-D

T and I got to Lanark at 10:30 and had till 2:30 or so to fish. Went E and found a 4 schools of reds, but no bigguns. Only saw a couple trout. The reds were holding on shallow sandy spots and on patches of hard bottom. Had about 12 shots today and caught 6 reds on Nole's fuzzy logic fly...thanks Nole!

The HPX is blooded:

Seems you practice what you preach. You caught some nice fish there.
Glad your boat is doing good.
Your partner is way better looking than that other one.
