Thanks Chip! I assume the atificial lures were as good as the minnows?

Usually better for me - but minnows were better yesterday.

I need to do some fishing again, count me in for this trip.

I've never fished for perch in the Susky before and I was wondering if having a fish finder is something that would come in handy? The reason I ask is that I just bought a Revo which I am hoping to be able to pick up in time for this trip, but it won't have a fish finder. My T120 has a fish finder, so I can always use that (and may have to if I can't pick up the new boat in time).

Congratulations on joining the Hobie Navy BigFluke- you will enjoy your Revo-

A fishfinder is pretty helpful in the susky as the water depth goes from 3-85 feet and generally the fish seem to only hold at certain depths and on ledges. The fishfinder helps you to stay on the ledges and hold on the specific depths.

I got a free Hobie hat for anyone who wants it. Its a baseball cap with a mesh back (trucker hat). It is moss green color, says Hobie on the front. Got it last year at the tournament...never worn...never intend to wear it. Free to a good home. Will bring to the M&G if one of our Hobie owners wants it.

I'll take it!

All yours buddy!
