2022 Rio Grande R.I.P. Preston

2022 Rio Grande trip. Had a cold front come in and turned the fishing OFF!
Just a few months after this trip our good friend Preston became ill and passed
away shortly after. This was his last trip on the mighty Rio Bravo.
Rest in peace buddy you will be missed by many.

RIP PRESTON

Condolences on your loss, not sure if I met him at Amistad oh so many years ago. I have a couple of questions about one of the boats, who owns the semi-v or mod v aluminum boat that was in about half the video? How much does it draft with the motor out? Tunnel hull? The smoker craft has a lot of pinholes in it now and the aluminum has gotten thin. My current boat desire is a semi or mod v with a tiller 25 to be as light as possible and hopefully float in 5-6 inches of water to allow chasing fish in the skinny flats. Casting platform up front and poling platform in the back for a bare-bones flats boat that could handle some chop vs the typical limitations of the total flat bottom beating you up in open water. I speak of the bay, not river open water FYI. Not overly concerned with how shallow it will run as I'm not in the mindset of blasting through skinny water but wanting to float as skinny as possible. Hope all is well with ya, tell that Gato character I said hi too.

That's the boat I built see other videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKPKoYB4eat1jLs Preston was a local guy down near Laredo known him 5 years, he was a cool dude. If you want to build something let me know. I can weld aluminum now too! If you wanna go check it out I'll come down and we can go fishing.
