Spring2188 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 It's taken me a very long time to get myself in a position to own something like this. I picked this boat up last week so I can get back to what I loved doing as a kid and teenager. This boat was a little rough and I'll have to put about $3000 in it to bring it back to new. It's a 2005 Ranger 519 dvx with a 200 hp evinrude etec HO. I can't wait for the weather to warm up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

taowulf Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Those 200+ engines on those itty bitty bassboats always make me chuckle. We used to fish off of any old boat. I haven't fished for years. Catching primarily bluegill when i live in Illinois soured me on the whole thing (and the concept of having to PAY once I hit 16). I love to catch bass though. To me, they are one of the few fish worth catching in your neck of the woods. The salmon fishing here in the PacNW rocks...sorta. I hate having to throw perfectly good fish back just because the only ones that can legally catch them for other than two weeks a year are the tribes. The seasons for different types of salmon here are very tightly regulated. We have almost gone to war with Canadian fisherman because of it too. Oh, red snapper can be fun too...that was my very first catch when i was a wee lad. In Puget Sound, of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

powsmowl Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Fishing sucks in Germany. Im not going to go into detail about hwo to get a lisence here, but saying that you need a seperate one for each River or Lake, and that each take 2 weeks to one month to get is enough.

southmine Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 I love fishing, just not for bass. Not many up here for largemouth, but I know lakes for smallmouth where it's like... ahem...shooting fish in a barrel. I prefer downrigging for salmon/lake trout/rainbow (Lake Huron/Georgian Bay/North Channel). This is my boat. We also spend a lot of time fishing the hard water but nothing beats that first trip after ice out (late May at the earliest), for speckled trout (the feet are mine).
