16.5' deep-V Alumacraft. There were times during the spring Big Bass Bash that we got rocked in the main channel, but my boat handles it *fairly* well. Still hurts though. Deep-V or not, 4 footers don't feel good in any small craft.

I had an amazing time last spring at BBB. Caught so many good fish and completely changed my oultook of LOZ.

Ughhh, me either.

Makes me so nervous for BBB this fall in my boat by what you'd told me about last fall

Looks like that boat sold bro, lol.

My garage is 22' deep. My boat is 16.5' and I still have to trim the motor all the way down and put it in at an angle to get it in.

Bottom line is don't settle. Wait a little longer if you have to, making sure you're totally satisfied.

No fish there!

I just can't justify it, and it'll only keep getting better and better. Melvern will be a staple on my weekends until the end of October, at the least.

DJ and his dad went there yesterday while my dad and I were at Melvern. They had probably 12-13 fish, biggest was his dad's at 4.3#, really nice fish. All others were 2# or under and they caught 5 cats over 5lbs.

Had another awesome day at Melvern yesterday. My Dad has been on me for weeks wanting to get him out there. Was a little worried about the front that came through overnight on Saturday, but it didn't seem to effect much. A bit chilly and breezy to start. First cast of the morning on a Sexy Dawg yielded the first fish of the day. My dad followed suit shortly after, but his on came on the Ned. After about 9am it slowed down quite a bit. We bounced from spot to spot, but the only thing that remained pretty constant was a topwater bite. He's never really fished topwater much so getting to teach him how to properly walk the dog, and then get continuously blown up on was awesome. By noon we'd gone back to a point that we'd fished a few times earlier in the day that's usually really good for us with a southwest wind, but yesterday it was blowing northwest and didn't seem to have any effect on the spot. My dad and I both had several fish pushing 4# come unbottoned. He did have big fish of the day just shy of 3lbs. All in all an excellent day, and it'll only keep getting better.

You can manually mute the whole conversation and not have to put your entire phone in airplane mode.

I use like, 3. Lol. NOAA Radar Pro, The Weather Channel, and Weather Live.

After looking back at it, we actually ended up only fishing it twice in the rotation (twice too much). The third time would be Sept. 10th, but we're fishing Miola instead haha. I think Adam is the only one who's bummed on that considering he had a 3 and 4# the last time through

I'm set for the fish off. Now I just have to convince the fiance we can win money at LOZ for BBB so I can make that weekend trip too, lol.
