    Default shakedown run


    well , finally got my boat back with the new Suzuki installed .
    very happy with the motor so far, very quiet and plenty of power.
    still have some issues with keeping the front end from bouncing when I fill both livewells and add an extra person (and a dog) , still want to remove one battery (I have 4) and redistribute some weight to the front of the boat, that should help.
    I took the wife and our dog over to crooked for a short evening trip and we managed to get 9 nice crappie.
    all were caught on minnows around wood, a couple were very black , males.
    three females with eggs , still at least a week or two from spawning.
    we got there at 5:30 and left at 7:30.
    wife hooked a big dogfish that gave her a real battle! I did not let him in the boat......retied.
    all in all a good night.

    That's a nice haul for two hours. Glad you were able to get on Crooked, I've only been on it once but it sure looked good to me.

    Yes, get the weight up front and drop battery number 4. Should help a ton.
