Planning on it. 2 new riggers, Lite bites, planers and leadcore rods ready. Looks like a new team may be hitting the rollers with the rest of the frostbite fleet. Team Prospector placed 2nd in the DYP, you never know..... Good luck to everyone and stay safe.

What if the water drops below a usable level at Converse.
It's almost there now.

I measured 21.5" with a yard stick 3-4 days ago in that bad area. 6" less than that we will be in a world of hurt in 6 more weeks. Otter Creek ie. Red Gate or Fort Cassin option?

I guess we'll be a fleet of tiller steer 14 footers. And Ivan's C-Dory :lol:

Send a message to all the towns from Rutland to Vergennes asking everyone to flush their toilets as we need the water. 8-)

Don't you guys worry, I'll just put on my chest waders. Give me a foot and I will float. Maybe you guys should be kind to us guys with bigger boats and operate a tug boat line!

C-Hawk, nothing malicious intended, all in good fun, it is not often guys with our little boats have any advantage....especially in rough water.

I was also kidding jimbow, but by the way, can you keep us updated about launch conditions at Westport? I may go out of there derby day again. Oh,also, what's a Frostbite Shootout without a little malice?
