Well I got to give the X a try this weekend. A friend and I went to the Little Red and he brought his X 8w with him. I got to throw some streamers on it and it really impressed me. I did see how it would be hard to cast a more delicate fly to a carp. I am still going to get a 9w in the Mangrove. I will post how I feel about it once I have got it and spent some time on the water with it.

That is awesome. Thanks so much. I believe I am going to start with the Mangrove. I can’t wait to get it and start setting it up. Then it will be time to hit the water.

Where can I get a recipe for those flies? Gar is one thing we have so in bulk around here.

WOW, did you see that the only starting method was pull start? Pull start on a 55!! Takes a man with a big arm to start that motor!

The burbot is edible. In Finland, its roe is sold as caviar. There is an annual spearfishing tournament held near Roblin, Manitoba, Canada. One of the highlights of the tournament is the fish-fry where the day’s catch is served up deep-fried. When cooked, burbot meat tastes very similar to American lobster, leading to the burbot’s nickname of “poor man’s lobster.”
This came from Wikipedia. We need some more of these things! 🙂

Rob-
That is a nice one! What do you use to catch one like that?

I am heading to Little Rock on Wednesday and on my way back to Memphis I am going to stop in Brinkly and see if I can catch one of these things.

Dave I sent you a PM. I get an alert that I have a message but there is no message there. I sent you my email address to send it to. I am very eager to get into some snake heads.

There is nothing in my inbox. I will check out some of these ditches. Sounds like the next flooded spring we have is going to really spread these things. I am curious as to whether or not they are as destructive to the eco system as has been thought. I also wonder if they can survive and thrive in cold water thereby becoming a threat to out trout population.

Dave-
Can you tell me where I can target those snake head in Arkansas. I talked to our local biologist he gave a general area but was not much help. I have heard the ditch around Lake Greenly. Also I have heard Piney Creek, but I have no idea where to access Piney Creek. I have a gheenoe that is a perfect set up for these little tight places. I want to put some of these on a green egg and see how they taste. I am headed to Little Rock Tuesday or Wednesday and would love to do some exploring and get an idea of where I can go to put my boat in next weekend.

Well I was leaning towards the 5hp for those small hard to get into places I fish a lot. I do not think it will save a single penny. If anything it will be more expensive. I am trying to find a motor alternative that is light and the ethanol in the gasoline does not foul up. I have to have my 15hp johnson carburetor cleaned yearly. I am using stabilizer and keep new gas but my motor progressively runs like crap as time goes on. Propane seems like a cleaner alternative and a small 5hp will get me where I want to go faster than a trolling motor.

That is awesome. My winter project is to redo my gheenoe. I really like yours. I have been a little hesitant to make mine looks nice cause it will attract attention and attention I mean the eyes of thieves. I am thinking of buying a propane powered motor. Lehr has a 5hp and a 9.9hp. I have a 15 now so I am leaning toward the 5 due to it only weighing 45pounds.

Zach, is your gheenoe the 15’4″. I have a Classic that is 15’6″. I am thinking of putting a 5hp to putt around in sloughs and ditches. How did that 8hp push your boat around?

Awesome boat. I have a E-Tec 25 also on a trout boat I use up here in Arkansas. It is prop driven right now though. I see you have changed yours over to jet. How does it do? Does it seem to have enough power? I really want to change mine over.
I just edited my post. Let me rephrase my question. How “did” the E-Tec perform? Also How is the Yamaha. I love that boat.

I bought a Coosa. I like it, but my next purchase will be either a SUP or Kilroy.
