The boat's in for another season. They're catching monster walleye due west of the Catawba State Park boat ramp.

Nice. Do you ever go out and spend the night on it? Looks like you have a small cabin below deck.

We used to. Then we got old.

I'm taking my boat out of storage at the end of the month and hope to be water ready by May 1st. I'll be running out of Spitzer's Marina in Lorain. Leave a few walleye for me b4. Nice Sport Craft. I'm running a Robalo R180 Center Console named "Bite Me!". What the heck, it's a fishin' boat.

There's a guy out farther west who must be running a Lyman or something. His radio handle is "Big Woody". That's a little late to be putting the Robolo in. The big fish bite early in the season. But enjoy it.

What's BOAT stand for? Bust Out Another Thousand! Lol! Nice craft you pilot, B4. Send us a picture of yours, Muggsy. Boats, guns, fishing, hunting. American!

That ain't no boat, it's a yacht where I come from..............I heard the second best day in your life is when you buy a boat.....................the first is when you sell it...........

I bought this boat last year. Took delivery of it on my birthday. The same day I was informed that I had Stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer. Only had it in the water once. The boat has only 2 hours on the hour meter. All of my electronics are installed, but I still need to install all of the usual accessories. Rod holders, fishing equipment, safety equipment, etc. Mini yacht.

A nice boat indeed............................................ I've had a few walleye shore lunches in Canada in my time.................IMHO, no better tasting fish on the planet.

That's true,walleye is the best fish ever.
Up here in northern Minnesota, we love our walleye!

Nice boats! I live far fro a big enough lake or I'd consider. I just fish from shore.

good lookin' boat there muggsy. It should cut thru the chop just fine. Have fun rigging it. I share our boat with my BIL. He is clearly addicted to fishing. Me? I get as much enjoyment out of rigging the boat. We got a real neat set up to run the planer boards, two plotters, rod holders everywhere.... It's fun. That boat's a 1996 and has a few thousand hours on it. It works hard. It had a few issues last year and spent some time in the shop. I hope I'm not approaching that "happiest day" when we have to sell it.

Best recipe for Walleye: all you need is butter and some Ritz crackers. Dip fillets in melted butter then dredge through crushed crackers. Pat as much on there as you can. Bake in oven on a cookie sheet until done. Try not to over bake. Just until the fish is firm. Tastes like heaven. Just don't tell your doctor.

I like them in a fry pan with lots of butter, and a touch of wine...............dredged in seasoned Panko.....................

We done tons of that over the years. Brings up some good memories. Thanks!
