Location: Eastern Ontario | One thing I notice with the guys that run BILLYBOB BOATS is they only have 2 speeds stopped and pinned slow down and save some fuel. Some feel all the fish are in the other end of the lake. I frequently launch, start motor, park truck, stop motor, put down positioning motor, fish. Have caught numerous large fish within 100 yards of ramp. I had a friend who for two years fished the old GM Pro Bass series out of a 14 foot tinney. He strained the water close to the weigh in and both years won a bunch of money and qualified for the Classic. He then used his winnings to buy a Bass Boat ( Billy Bob Boat ) with 225 ponies on the back and proceeded to burn gas without anything close to his previous results. The difference between a new boat and what you have will buy a lot of gas. |
