Zorakk Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Hi all. I stumbled across this forum today and after reading some of the info here I decided I wished to join. Although there are " bigger " forums out there I saw a lot of great info here. Me, I definitely do not have the best or newest boat and gear, but it was all pretty decent in its time. My boat is a 15' 1990 Bumblebee 254 with a frankensteined mercury 85 hp (1976-1980 the best parts from 3 motors) with power T&T , Humminbird 997C graph at the console, lowrance LMS 520 at the front with a minn kota 45lb thrust trolling motor. This boat is a work in progress as it's about to get some new carpet and I have recently buffed it out with pretty good results. I manage 37 mph (gps speed) with a really beat up 12x19 aluminum prop with me and the missus on board. I fish Old Hickory lake mainly with the wife who loves to fish.

Astro180 Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Welcome to the site. Also, in regards to your rig. The fish don't care what you've got. What's important bis the fact your out on the water doing what you love. The fact your better half goes with you is an added bonus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorakk Posted December 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) Thanks all. Yeah, she's already asking me if the boat will be ready when spring arrives. She's definitely a keeper! As far as the boat goes, you are right, the fish don't care. It is the nicest boat I've ever had though!

bronzebackhuntr Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Old Hickory is an interesting lake. I came down and worked the bfl super tourney this fall, there’s more shad on that lake than all the lakes up here combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorakk Posted December 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 I'm lucky enough to be within 1/2 hours drive of both Old Hickory and Percy Priest. That being said, I prefer Old Hickory as I've fished it since I was a kid. I'm planning to try some of the other lakes once I have enough confidence in my motor.
