Location: Not far enough north!

I just sold my esox mag. I had it for six years and loved it 99% of the time. They are extremely stable and fish well in waves up to I'd say 1 1/2 ft. If you can get on plane you won't have any trouble navigating in two footers but if you can't get the nose high enough you'll take on water. The only reason for getting rid of it was because on my annual trip to lotw there has been at least one day each year when I couldnt take it out and had to rent a boat from the lodge. This mainly just peeed me off because of the set up in rentals (trolling motors and electronics) and I want to fish in a boat I set up. The only advantage the deep vs have is they can get out in rougher water. The esox wins hands down in fishing comfort and musky casting. If i was fishing northern wisconsin all the time thats what I would go with.
