I recently traded into a drift boat and haven't a clue where to go to catch Sringers. We get them here in the Tri-Cities, but are banned from fishing out of boats...The Yakima gets springers, but is only open to Indians...Can't drift the Umatilla, it's too small...

So where's a good place to drag my boat? I did get a 6 hp Yamaha LS motor with it, and a 24 Volt 72 lbs electric motor too. It's pretty well diverse, I'm just not sure about how well it will perform in big water, and am certainly concerned with WIND...

As far as boating skills, I've 10 years in a Kayak, Raft & Cat combined. Reading water is not a problem, so my main lessons are going to be courtesy & I'm pretty aware of what I'm looking for, I've been fishing off the bank for 20 plus years. I've seen the boat battles and have a pretty good Idea of what NOT to do.

Any other drift boat springer guys on here?
