Buc., not a employee at any of those places,self employed electrical contractor, did you ever fish the Farmington river? I live 5 minutes from it,duck/goose and trout fishing it`s all very good...guess I`ll miss that as well. As far as where we end up the recreational activities will play a huge part. My wife is the "damn yankee" ,I was born in Texas,living here since `86...I still park my car in the back, these people "paaahhhk it in the yaahhd" ...really,can`t wait to hear y`all instead of hey you. Thanks for the advice,our main thing is we`re getting tired of trailering/unloading/loading ,towing the boat(we own a 17 ft. deep v tracker) etc..When we get a bit bored with a body of water a "short " haul to another spot would be a plus.Huge issue we have up here ,extremely rude waterskiers and jet skiers,apparently if you are anchored on most bodies of water(fishing) up here ,you become a target not someone to give space to.Hopefully this is not prevalent down your way or better yet lakes with speed and horse power restrictions. Do y`all want me to post some pics from our annual Adirondack trip?15 years running,wedding anniversary,used to be a licensed guide up there as well.Killer smallmouth/largemouth and pike.Guessin` somene will enjoy that.
