[@TheBudgetSportsman]

Looking forward to seeing what you do with it Randal

[@randallrydesfishing]

Thanks man. Me too lol!

[@austinandfam]

Younger me loved my Jon. Can go and fish everything with those. Looking forward to the build my man.

[@randallrydesfishing]

It sounds like you got a great start fishing. The jon holds its own. Even after we get larger vessels and fish bigger waters. We all have fond memories of the ol' jon boat.

[@SaddleTrampTV]

Whatever floats your boat!

[@randallrydesfishing]

lol thanks man

Very cool brother. Had a friend, back in Ohio, who fished with a Jon boat for many years. Good choice.

[@randallrydesfishing]

Jericho!!! Good to hear from you brother! Yeah these jon boat boys at my local lake are tearing it up and I don't want to miss out. It's going to be a fun project. I hope you are doing so well my friend. I think of you and your boy often.

[@ironhorsemountainman-ev6wy]

@ Sure enjoyed the time you were here. Hope you can make it back sometime.

I fish raystown for everything out of a 1648 flat bottom. June thru August you got to watch the main lake on the weekends. But rest of the year I go where I want on the main lake.

[@randallrydesfishing]

Your boat sounds quite a bit more stable than this old jon I got. Good points. 6pm - 6am, the coves, or no-wake zones keep us fishing even on busy days. Look out of those rouge wake boats though. They don't realize how dangerous that wake is for a small boat.

That's cool dude. Can't wait to see your end results

[@randallrydesfishing]

It's going to be good my friend. Lets get breakfast one of these cold mornings.

[@ericwolfe1790]

@randallrydesfishing sounds good. Just let me know which day is good for you

[@fishkingscutlery]

I need a boat like your big one, but i would never get rid of my jon boat. Fished raystown for 25 years in it and catch eveything that swims.

[@randallrydesfishing]

Yes you do! Well said. As the boats get bigger there are opportunities to fish bigger waters. Raystown is just small enough that a jon works. Be wise. Don't gamble. And go catch fish!
