Hey everyone –
I just returned from Tennessee, where I went striper and trout fishing with board member Mike Anderson.
Cool photos Zach and those rods look great!
Can’t wait for the article, highsticking and long drifts are exactly what I hope to be doing soon on the Tongariro!
Looking forward to catching up very soon.Simon

Just Empty Every Pocket.
Speaking of which I see you finally got a Tibor, watch out they are addicting.
Mike I was just being jealous:)) I don,t have water I can wet wade in for warmwater species without the the risk of contracting some exotic/nasty ailment:)
Zach I have to say- what I find incredibly interesting and provocative about what is going on here/on the site , is that you and others keep pushing with image compositions/looks. While many may not appear tomorrow in the mags , I suspect they will over time influence ,what will appear.
Where is RiverX- GPS please!!!!

Never said anything about it not being substantial, just couldn’t clearly tell if it needed a jack-plate to get the motor up that high or not (it would be a good thing if it DIDN’T need one).
No, I meant that the back of the boat is substantially higher than the middle of the boat; there’s a pitch of about three inches from the middle to the transom.
This model is made for a jet only. it doesn’t need a jack plate because they build the transom up higher. This means you can’t run a Prop job on it, though I can’t imagine why anyone would ever want to.
that’s sick. Any complaints about the jet at all? not being able to reverse, etc.?
I’m considering a small one on a jon boat for the marsh but need to figure out if they mind running in extremely dirty water with lots of loose silt on the bottom.
Reverse is very slow at best. It clogs with grass all the time. Slow speed operation is a pain and dangerous. In the fall it sucks leaves and won’t run. Gravel gets hung up in it and screws up everything. No steering if the engine dies underway. You lose 30% of you HP at the jet foot because of the 90 deg turn the water has to make from the intake to the nozzle. Its soo loud you’ll need ear plugs. Gas hog. I’m sure I missed a few.
This is what I was told about jets for years, which is why I took so long to buy one. People talk out their asses a lot you know. Yes there are some issues to deal with and if not set up properly they can be a pain but what they can do is priceless if you like to run rivers and go where fish aren’t being pressured.
