Wrangling Warm Water Wallies, WOW
Walleye? We got em....
With a lack of fishing to be had from a 6 degree sled this time of year, we often find ourselves wondering what the heck are we to do with oursleves. Some synapse fired in the back of our heads, walleye. None of us had ever done it, so Rob set out on a mission to figure out what we needed (not like he was working or anything...)
With a pretty good idea and some gas, we headed out Saturday afternoon about 4 pm.
First pass, one bass, one walleye, one flounder. (Serious a flounder)
Second pass, walleye.......
Kept going like that until it was dark and we had 8 with one very large one lost at the boat. Pretty fun fishery, we will see if the hype about how they taste is true.

Rob and I decided it was time to do a much needed upgrade to the Super Z what with the pending fall season upon us.
We sat in the boat talking about ideas, brainstorming and planning.
Here is what we came up with...
We ripped out the old factory box and replaced it with this beauty...
We needed a fish box, for that rare occasion when we catch a fish. I was planning on building one from scratch like we did the transom box. Rob said, why not a truck box? Hmmmm....
Worked nicely. You can see in the above picture the plumbed lines. With the flip of a switch the box fills with fresh water and than drains it to the outside. Also contained in the box is the washdown system for the boat, no more coiled hose wrapping up on your legs when trying to land that trophy.
