im selling because i have 2 boats and i want to fix up my little boat. i would like to put a bigger motor on it and it need some new carpet in it. i fish out of the smaller boat more so i figured id sell the big one if you know anuone who might be interested let me know i want to get it out and run it this spring before i really start pushing to sell it. it goes about 60 to 65 mph has 2 live wells comes with a lowrance fish finder trolling motor has a 200 hp yamaha. when i get it ready ill post pictures. the only thing that is wrong is the windsheild is off it cause it broke when a tungston weight went threw it and needs a little seet repair on the drivers seat other than that great boat. its a 20 foot fish and ski white and green. | |

When do you take your boat out for the first time in the spring? People tell me to wait untill the temp wont drop below freezing at night. | |

asap. i usually already had it out . about a week after the ice comes off. i am going to try for next week thats as soon as i can from the way its looking. head over to kyle and through some jerkbaits and some rattle traps. this is the time of year the biggins bite. prime time is when the water temp get arround 48 degrees and up but you'll catchem. let me know how you do. and im still kicking arround the idea of a little tourny. but i dont know when. we will have to hook up and hit kyle sometime soon. look me up on face book and ill let you know when and were im going. | |

i fished the susquehanna before at the sunburry hole did good with greean tubes and white jerkbait(X-rap are good ones) and a fluke with a red treble hook as a trailer hook.< run your main hook through the eye of the treble hook and if you have the treble hook right you can hook it in the belly of the fluke. its a killer i use it everytime im not arroun grass or wood it will help youi out with the hookups. good luck hope this helps. | |

Awh not good a keeper had to be 15 inches. we got a few in the 14's but not good enough. we got one keeper during pratice it was the worst 2 days of fishing i ever had the water was 38 degrees. you had to fish super super slow. | |
