    1/30 Newton

    My first trip to newton was on Saturday. This is the summary. Motor issues, lost rod, cold, 4 fish. So it wasn't the best trip ever that's for sure! But we are going back Wednesday. So between the rod and motor it was a $500 trip. Expensive fish! That's $125 a fish! Maybe we can do a lil better. Oh if you come across a revo on a st Croix over there let me know! This is what happens when I leave bluegrass and the river…

    Unhappy Re: 1/30 Newton

    Update on the motor issues! 9.9 on my buddies boat is losing 55% pressure and the reed plate is chipped. This gets better and better. So much for going Wednesday.

    Gander Mountain in Terre Haute has brand new motors on the floor ready to go. Stop buy and buy one from ole Alan. He would like to sell you one.

    If that was a Tournament Legend St Croix with a revo it probably basically floted with the current. Droped one like that but the tip of the rod stuck up a few inches and happened to retrive it. Jim
