Bummer fishing weekend! New Boat Though!

[TNBronzeback]

So my wife and i got a new boat a few weeks ago so we have mainly been cruising and getting the break-in done on the motor so fishing has been on the back burner for a while.
figured i would get up butt crack early yesterday and try to put my first fish in the new rig. the cumberland was absolute filth near Cordell Hull. perfect flow, perfect water level, but it was chocolate milk. went up the caney a decent little ways and the water there was about the color of the cumberland when its "clear". popped a big ole fat drum on a blade bait...boy i thought i had on king walleye when i set that hook!...still good to finally hook a fish though! after that i just cruised the cumberland, way down river, then up to the dam. alot of junk floating down.
i didnt expect the water to still be that muddy.
LOVE the new boat though, and even if i didnt, my wife said ive got 15 years to find out how to love it! HA!

Here it is! 17'-10" of awesome! lol. I never thought i would be a fan of a walk-thru windshield or a bimini top, but both are great! that bimini top was worth its wieght in gold on saturday to get out of the sun! to keep costs down we went with the 70h.p., but with 2 adults it still tops out about 33, which is plenty fast for me on water. Cuts waves like a champ for a good high, dry ride. The back casting platform flips up into some extra seats for summer evening booze cruises! (that was a requirement from the wife) lol
I feel bad for the saugers this year, thier numbers are gonna take a serious hit!

Thanks everybody! Ive looked at alot of deep V boats in the past few months. We always ran Lunds on the great lakes but ive read thier quality has suffered since being bought out by Brunswick a few years ago. The alumacraft has thier Double Hull construction which sold me seeing as alot of ramps here dont have docks, or enough docks during busy times.

Halli, that silver thing on the front is actually the horn....sounds more like an angry hornets nest than a horn though. Lol

Im not making a sales pitch by no means, but Anderson Marine was great to work with. No pressure, no B.S.

See me out on the lake or river pull on up and say hi!

Sweet boat! I call shotgun on a sauger trip!
