My Boat's Ready For Powell

I had to postpone my Lake Powell fishing trip - the guys I am taking couldn't get away. So now we're scheduled for mid-May. Maybe that will turn out to be a good thing. The fishing should still be excellent, hopefully the weather will be nicer and the water will be warmer.

It will be a serious fishing trip, but it would be nice it the water is warm enough that we can jump in and play a bit.

I've done basic maintenance on my boat and I think it is ready to go. This delay will give me a chance to test it on a local lake just to be sure. It is a small jet boat that I've rigged for fishing. Not a bad little boat. I do want to put an electric trolling motor on its bow - then it will be a nice setup. Goes fast, economical to run, open so 2-3 people can fish easily. And it goes in shallow water.

I bought the boat so I could go on the Colorado at Lees Ferry and other such spots. Just need to make time to take it out.

Mid-May is coming fast.
