By the way, your boat looked good when I saw you fishing in it on dec.4. , you just need a person in the front seat to help catch fish.
Thanks for the compliment, and yep, it does need some ballast in the front. I had a milk-crate full of rocks up there that Sat...not enough to really hold the nose down well.

I'll have Gary Johnson with me on this Sat., so plenty of fishermen in the bow. Gary tells me he is a "mid-sized" guy, so if the boat can handle us both, then I'll go ahead and install a 2nd pasenger seat up front and see if it can fish 3 OK.

Went up to HMSP today, and the ramp, as previously reported, is prety messy. I don't think I would try anything less than 4 WD to launch or pull a boat out there. Even the upriver side is messy, and muddy. We need someone with a load of 1" gravel to drop it there, and spread it around the ramp.....

Water color below the Sauk is poor, but vis. is 18" + (guess), above the Sauk I would guess 4' or so, but not gin clear by any means.
