Mike,

I've just bought a small 14ft boat w/ a 9.9 so I can fish the river and some small lakes close to home! I've still got my bass boat but when it costs a 100 dollar bill to go fishin for the day it's a hard pill to swallow. Sad thing is I don't have kids and alot of the other expenses that some do. I can actually afford to go do alot of things I've always done but simply refuse to do so!

I'll go to the river, catch a abunch of smallies, and go home happy only spending a few $$$$$!!!

I've cut my tournaments in half.........my big boat hasn't moved in over a month!
