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.

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.
