nice sep up! how much did you pay for you rack set up if you dont mind me asking ? A good amount. My Jeep didn't have side rails (99% of the ones I see on the road have them, not sure why mine didn't come with them) so those were $120 and I installed them yesterday. Then the Yakima cross bars were about $160. The Landshark cradles were $80 for four of them. So total about $360, but I got 15% off at Mountain Sports since I bought my boat there.

Thanks everyone. I'll be taking her out Saturday and Sunday morning for sure, weather permitting. I'll probably post an open-invite thread once I decide what lake I want to break her in on.

If you decide to go with Ray Roberts, look into getting a Parks Pass. $70 for one year which is a whole lot cheaper than paying $7 a day to park. I am new too and am sticking to Ray Roberts for awhile because I heard the boater traffic is not as bad, the stumps also slow em down.

Ha, I guess I got out of there before they went crazy. Biggest danger I saw was that railroad bridge. Stay the hell away from it when a train passes over. 4 pound chunks of concrete falling off of it.

Congrats on the new yak! I've caught some nice hybrids just out from where you shot those pictures. I believe it. I used to watch them boiling out right past my casting range from the bank. So glad those days are behind me!
