went to rend last night in the new rig. the 90 will scoot ya right along the fan works great also you can go literaly anywhere. we were pushing through 5-6 in. driving one isnt as hard as i figured. not sure on how much gas we used but not much. finaly got the pitch set where it will just go about perfect at a idle. we pulled a ferull off a steering cable right off and cobled it back together. it gave on us a few more times but it was my fault for not crimping them real good. the lake is up about 3 feet from where it was last spring and MUDDY. i figured it would have settled out a little more than it has because we havent had any real rain here for a week. we finaly found some clearer water and managed to shoot roughly 45 fish in 3 hrs. females are getting big bellys but it is still a little ways off yet. we just shot weed flats because i wasnt gona run a limb through the fan and the water is to high in the willows to shoot. most of the edges that are usualy good are 4-5 foot deep now. the rend shoot may be tough unless the lake drops a few feet.

Hey Joe great to hear the fan is working for ya now you can where the fish are when they are in the shallows. Maybe the water will clear up before the tourney if we dont get a bunch of rains......

Thanks for the update on Rend. I'm supposed to head down there in May. Sangchris up here is still about 4' down and doesn't open for another five weeks.Hope tocheck a couple of spots on the Sangamon River this week.
