Started trolling at 11:30, water temp 54 in 30 foot, trolled out to 50 and every thing in-between till 3pm, never had a strike

at 3:05 I went back over my close in spot and the rod bent over and sang, a 33 incher

got her landed and turned back around for another shot, at 3:20, the rod bent over and sang again, a 30 incher

tried it a few more passes with nothin doin and headed in "water temp was 59 at 3:40". Put over 30 miles on the boat and only burned around 5 gallons of fuel

and the water is CLEAR

Thanks Wevans. The more I read the forum, the more I realize I was too ambitous on thinking I needed a T-top CC. I am having a tough time getting it ready to fish, live too far away, and spent too much money already. I spent three days down there recently with a 14 ft. fiberglass boat and had a great time. Getting on the water is the main thing. Where the heck is Mashes?

Dabbler, you are right. I had a lot of fun with my 14ft Jon Boat on the flats. When I pay off my Key West I want a Gheenoe from Custom Gheenoe. Check out this one

I have a 13ft right now that I love. If I can ever find a used 5hp, I will be dangerous!!!
