Well, the next project on my list is setting up my little boat for bowfishing. I have a 10 or 11 foot Coleman Crawdad and so far I've got a 30-pound thrust troller for it, a 6-horse Mercury, a small (1800 watt) generator and a bunch of tractor lights if I want a battery-powered light set-up on it. I also just got a trailer for it, although I don't really 'have' it yet. Still have to pick it up.

I want to put out-riggers/ pontoons on it to make it a little more stable for 2 people to fish from. This is the only boat Team Carp-enders has for competing right now. It looks like we may be limited to how many fish we can shoot from it, because of the weight-rating. But I was thinking if I used a 3-man raft I have, we can tow it behing the boat and when we fill up one of our fish-barrels, we can pull in the raft, load the fish onto it and let it drag along behind us. I think the raft will hold 250 pounds. Might take us a while to get back to the launch, but it would be neat to pull up with a load of fish like that.


If there's a will, there's a way!
