ShawnD's Year end report

Post by ShawnD »

My Year end recap!
I've got to start by giving Pirate Cove Marina's staff some props here they were top notched, I had planned a trip to NY to fish Champlain with some friends and they made sure my boat was ready to rock!
I picked up my Phoenix Bass boat 618 with a 150 Evinrude

May 2015, - Westport NY, Lake Champlain
What a trip!
So many firsts!

First fish in my boat 8)
First Lamprey EVER
Ugly thing, left it on shore to be eaten.

Image
Image

First EVER Laker! and new PB Big Fish at 9.17# ( Notice the Lamprey marks on her )

We also caught some Drum fish, Steph caught his PB Big fish at 15.32 #!!
We both LOVED our trip to NY.

Also participated in the the Shootout series Mississippi Tournament finished 21st/70 boats
Here's a video I made.


Some Rideau River action, won my first WeekNight tournament with Justin (Whoodatguy)

Won my first tournament out of the Phoenix on the Lievre River with the man that got me into competitive fishing!

You know when I did the math of all those old boats I had, the money I spent and the TIME I spent working on them...
I could've had 1/3 of this boat paid in 2 YEARS... :roll:

But then again... Going through all that I learned tons and understood what I wanted and what to look out for.
Lesson learned. ;)

Thanks everyone.

Shawn,
So glad to see you gave your new gal a good work out! Your hours alone this summer on the water were worth the price!

Fantastic report too! Loved the photos!

Only thing that would have made it better wold be a photo of my handsome mug in a speedo on the deck of your phoenix!

Maybe next year!

Keep smiling!

Awesome report.

The video was pretty awesome too.

Like RJ said it's great to see people get out on their boat when they get a new one
