Just wanted to, share some picture from across the big pond.

I finally got to get a massive upgrade of the old boat, a small boat with a 6Hp motor, as you can see from the pictures it has done a great job over the years, helping us to catch a bunch of 40"+ pikes, biggest of 44.88 inch.


Now i got a 16 foot aluminium Boat with a 50Hp mercury.
The new boat is nearly twice as wide as the old one, so the amount of space in the new boat feels extreme. Just got through the process of breaking in the new motor, and hopefully the new boat will get the same amount of fish in the future, at least its nice to be able to fish some of the bigger lakes in around northern Europe, and not use half an hour going between key spots with the old 6Hp.

Cheers

Nice setup. Looks like the air temps are pretty cool there already?
Nice fish.

It varies quite a bit depending on where you are, the area i live in have had insane temps compared to normal, and water temp have hit the 80° Fahrenheit.
Which i have never seen before, we have had a lot of small lakes that been hit by a drop of oxygen to the point where fish started dying.
Luckily it looks like the temp are getting back down again going forward, exited to see how the different lakes will perform going forward, a couple of them have been hit pretty hard, with almost all fish dying.
