Millerton Lake this Saturday April 26th

[JusTrouble]

We had a great time - thanks for coming out
All the rest of those fair-weather boaters missed out!
Good to meet you HotWater and Propless
That is a bad-ass boat - it really sounded great, way out in front of me!
Let's do it again soon
Everything I did over the 'winter' worked nicely and the boat ran great for a 47 year old!

Here are 2 pics of ramp 5 right after our last cloudy day, exactly one month ago today
We were pretty far down ramp 5


Last Saturday I drove up just to check it out
It was just a bit further up on ramp 5, right about where the dirt road takes off from the far side of the ramp in the second pic

We got some good rain the past 24 hours and I was surprised how fast it made a difference in the lake
The water level was about 10 feet down from the top of ramp 5 today when we got there to launch
HotWater was told to use ramp 4 because the level was rising so fast today

The last pic is from today when we were done

Look in the water about half way down in the pic, about a third of the way from the right side of the pic and you can see the white line that ends at the top of the ramp
The water level was about 10 feet past the top of the ramp and the end of the white line, well into the parking area
We had just enough slope left to get the boat onto the trailer
Happy to get the rain - would love to get more - hope it lasts

Thanks to my buddy for coming up to help out
Hope your back is okay after hitting that frikin Tuna boat wake off that out there while we were chasin HotWater!
Love the GoPro - check out the reflection of the clouds on the deck
Then the clear, blue, warm skies later today
Good time

Lol! You should pick up a circle flat project. I'd love to see what you could do with it.

They are the perfect little lake rod!

Yeah, I wouldn't mind getting that canary that jimmy laid up but it's the wrong color, yello. All white get would be nice. Plus I want something light so I can run a sbc cuz I already have a new stack injected efi small block.

If that smally is built to rev it would be killer in a lightweight Canary. Let it scream and it would rip!

Yea, great "club" turn out. Maybe there mommies wouldn't let them come out and play (might get wet).




Or maybe they where afraid of the mighty K boat racer and his lake boat.





JusTrouble wasn't afraid of getting his boat wet. Maybe he hasn't grown into a full fledged V-driver yet. The boat looked GREAT out there !!




Still had a good time, and at least I got to know and see ONE more boat and its crew. And yea the wake from that Tuna boat was HUGE !!
