No, I would LOVE IT, I don't run to the barge often, but I would if springs were nearby. (side note, when you posted about "train wreck #'s out of stein, are you sure your friend wasn't fishing on the "crane" it would sound the same) It would be great if we could get together when it warms up a bit. I'm now running a cobia 194, so I have to choose my days carefully, but it beats the .9mpg I was getting with my 29phoenix. I'm also very interested in getting my humminbird 898 dialed in, I'm not impressed so far except in the river where it is awesome. I'm searching 40ft and all I ever see is squiggles. I fine tuned it on the 10 mile rock pile out of stein, but I'm really struggling on smaller structure.
