Wanted to say hello to everyone here.
I've been snooping around here for a few years, absorbing all the pages on forums. Have learned a lot, enough to purchase my first NW style boat (Fishrite Fishmaster) to replace the tin that I had before.
I have a lot of experience with high elevation lakes. After work during summer my local reservoir to fish for walleye/trout/small mouth and occasional catfish/carp is 25mins away at 5600'. The other waters I hit are all between 4500'-9000' in elevation.
I used to ICE fish, but just got out of it this year. Getting old, no fun sitting on a block of cracking ice at 0 deg temps.
I spend any free time I have in the garage, restoring a 56 f-100 or fishing out of my boat, throwing flies in the stream. I am in the water so much, that CO invited me to participate in their feed back roundtables. I don't always catch the biggest fish and i do get skunked but beats sitting in a chair working.
Currently working on building my side, front and rear drop curtains in my boat. I have two cannons for fishing 100' for lake trout, the noisy tohatsu 6hp as kicker, bow mount 80lbs minnkota and a 40hp merc pushing me.
I document all my upgrades/repairs on my youtube channel to share as well.
Again, appreciate all the posts on the forums. I look forward to questions/comments.
