I took the holy crap that sure is a beast to move around newly acquired Jackson BigRig out for it's maiden voyage today.
I received the rest of my parts today. That allowed me to install my Dragonfly 7 properly. That's it really. hahahaha. The thing comes ready to fish. Oh, and my anchor.
Now, I am not a small man at 6'1 and 225. It on the other hand was a Beast while on land. I will get a harness if I am going to be dragging it more than 10 feet. And wheels for any distance.
In the water I have to say it performed as well as I could hope for the first time out. I was hoping it was a little faster. I made a steady 3kts on flat water. That was concentrating. I need to fiddle with the seat back for a bit to find my optimum paddling angle. And build those paddling muscles too ;-). Maybe eat my spinach before I go out.
My Dragonfly did a great job of showing me where the fish were not. But it did it in style.
I am heading out to Ebenezer in the morning after dog duty. Will head under the bridge and see what I can see. Will see if I can take a few pictures. Say hi if you see a BigRig out there......
