Fishin' Machines

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Fishin' Machines

Post by TrollingThunder »

Well just throwing this out there but what kind of boats are the fellow Fish-Hawkers riding in? Any bragging descriptions about the extras is welcome haha...I'm sure ill be hating a few of you by the end of this :lol:

My monster is a 14' tinner with a whopping 9.9 (no, it's not a kicker lol) but hey, she gets er' done, and with gas prices the way they are I ain't complaining...I got a new fish-finder this year, nice Humminbird 585, thats about it, just biding my time for the center consol with the 350 hp on the tail :lol:

Hey TrollingThunder,

You can see many of the boats in the Visitor's Photo Gallery under Boats, Motors and Trucks here. http://www.fish-hawk.net/photogallery/t ... p?album=14

Come to think of it, I think there was a post made sometime last year on the same topic. I'll try and find it...but can't guarantee, not much to search on. :)

<a href="http://www.fish-hawk.net/index.php?page=44">Here's our past boats.</a> I get my new one this week. Very, very excited about that. :lol:

Cheers,

I have a Triton TR 19 with a 175 Efi Merc on the back. It has a hydraulic jack plate,82lb thrust Motorguide digital with built in sonar, LMS 520c on the console, X65 and a Lowrance H2O on the bow. This baby is fast but it sure likes the gas, I have only driven it once this year because I am trying to save my gas money for Bass Season :shock:

my new tr186 Elite pkg rig can be seen in the online gallery http://www.fish-hawk.net/photogallery/t ... p?album=14 under bassman nickname.

Only had it out 3 times and still working on the break-in period as well as growing $alls big enough to get her WOT with the 175Opti on the back.

Usually running it on the Ottawa as I live in Orleans.

cheers,
Bassman
