Re: Drying out a bass boat
The only option I see is you will have to drag your boat home within 24hrs of storing it wet and then get to cleaning/drying/airing it out.
TRUMP
How bout that?
He's got a huge mess the last two President's have left. It's gonna take a non politician like Trump to get us out of this.
I finally have hope for this country that I did not have yesterday.

Re: barrel on the delta mandeville
So this possibly went from somebody cheating to a barrel with a body stuffed in it.
Probably neither one. A cheater is not going to use a hi-vis blue barrel and I haven't heard of any bodies in barrels on the delta only duffel bags but there is always a first.

Re: 10/7/16 Delta
If you gauge the bite by the weights of the BBT TOC this past weekend you would say its pretty tough out there at least for larger fish. Around 3/4 of the teams averaged less then 10# a day. Only the top 10 averaged 15# a day. That's tough fishing when you factor in there was 190+ boats.

You need a 24v trolling motor if you have room for the extra battery. I had a 65# Maxxum on my Tracker and it pulled it fine.
