Vbay report

[alphaman]

It was a pretty day today but the wind was blowing. Put some miles on the boat 200 miles round trip. Lau chef at the the launch in Lydia by the new bridge hit the intracoastal canal all the way to the locks north of the icc canal, nothing! Then we head baback to the small canal west of 4 mile cut to hide from the winds then we cut through fearman lake, stopped at both the wiers by the game camp. Nothing. Then we headed to the weir by hell hole. Then back back through fearman. Same route back to the intracoastal water. Once we hit the icw to the 6 mile trip west to a spot I fished. Got there nothing but cats. Gaftop and channel cats no keepers. Decided to take it in and headed down the ICW back to the launch. Only burned half a tank gas.
Only had 1 victim fall for ththe bait that was worth keeping.

Man, next time you feel like running like that go down to the Humble and smash them big Cats and Bulls that are always lurking under the bridge.

It crosses the a canal on Vermilion Corp on the Road to Freshwater City. There is a definite trick when it comes to fishing it.

Great! Just I'm downloading the sonar log now can't wait to see it on reefmaster program. I made 2 passes in. Fearman lake

Seriously? 200 miles on less than half a tank of gas. Unless you have one monster of a fuel tank that's pretty dang good.

i just looked at my gas gauge, the needle is in between the quarter and half tank lines. i cruised 40 mph and under all day. probably would have burned less if i didnt have to put my trim tabs down for a little stretch.

Cool. My ducer works great there also. When I told the dealer what I had done, he asked that I take a pic and send it to him. Love this forum cuz that's where I got the idea to move mine.

Regarding mpg, 5.333 with a 175 hp is awesome, no doubt about it. The best that I have ever gotten with my 19 Frontier with a 150 Etec is 4.5, but I normally run about 4 mpg. BTW, with your rpm's "matching" your speed, that's about as perfect as you can get to zero prop slippage. Bet you never sell that Zuke

Can't wait to get started downloading sonar to send to "Wishing". Awesome project you two conceived of.

Sorry Speck I get how you did the math. I figured he was talking fuel burned and not size of tank.

There had to be a good explanation because us Chem E's don't make math errors....

He told me about the program. All the credit goes to him. But I ended up buying the program as well. It's awesome. I fish big lake alot so I want to get that place mapped as well.
