Couple of Blues, Finally

Got on the lake a few minutes before sun-up and headed to a spot that I remembered from a guided trip I paid for last fall. I'd been there once before and didn't have much luck with my cut bait except for a 50 inch gar. This time I decided to try the punch bait I used on the guided trip last year. Heck I dropped it on top of a 25 lb flathead on that trip and hooked him up, so I thought I'd give it a shot on my own. Turns out that seems to be the ticket for blues in that hole. A 10 pounder and two sixes...

The Dew shoes are now standard equipment on my boat. The new KastKing Rekon reel worked like a champ for drop-dragging.

Tom it’s not much of a cushion but seadecking really helps with the burnt bum problem! Now you may be able to get thicker material mines only 1/4” but I can stand barefoot on it and while it’s warm it’s not burn me hot. I put some on my bench to help with the burnt bum problem but with all the wakes from other boats I still had a sore bum problem so I put a swivel seat on top. Might not be the route you wanna go but I’ve been happy with the seadecking so far

I think your decking looks good Dannie and I have been considering getting some for mine. I have also been thinking about adding a new chair base to the right rear bench and trying one of the Millennium seats. Getting the seat a little higher will help me see which log I want to hit.:giggle:

I am not too worried about the floor. Now this 2070 has a lot of open floor but I bought sever 2'x2' squares of exercise mat that has the puzzle edges to connect it. Very comfy to stand and walk on, the sun doesn't heat it up much and it can be cut to the exact size needed. I had it in one of my 14 footers in the past and was happy. I never had any issues with the wind even when towing the trailer down the highway.

If that doesn't function the way I like, I will switch to something else.
