Re: A few things about fish photos.....

Good Lord, some people need a life. I don't care how you hold the fish (as long as he not being injured) just keep those pics coming. I know a big fish when I see one. If I can't catch em, I am glad you can. Keeps my "juices" flowing.....

Hopfully not a dumb question......

In the Westernbass classifieds I notice that some boats are advertised as "tournament" boats and some are not. What constitutes a" tournament" boat? Is this a boat that was won in a tournament? Also, are boat loans ever assumable? Never see that mentioned.

Bass Boats

There are probably as many opinions as there are people on this forum, but what is considered the top-of-the-line bass boat? What would be considered entry level? How would you rank them top to bottom?

There are pilings in the water (visible at low tide) as you exit the ramp area into the lake. Be very careful. Maybe follow someone else out and hope its not their first time too. :?

IMO, unless they are looking specifically for drugs or alcohol there is no reason for them to board. (I can't believe I am saying this. I am a huge supporter of law enforcement) They could accomplish the same thing, and get more bang for their buck, by simply sitting on a marina and inspecting as we...

Did they actually come on board and tie it off, or throw a line and instruct you to tie it to the pedestal? Either way I would be pretty ticked. Were cleats available?

Re: Berthing an Aluminum Boat

My whole purpose in berthing the boat is so I don't have to contend with all the "players" at the ramp. So storage is really not an option. I had thought of the bilge pump situation and that is something I will have to change on my boat. Thanks for your responses.
