Feast or Famine on this one. Have experienced both and more of the latter than the former. Catfish, if there are ones to be caught you will prevail.

Thank you for the vote of confidence!! I figure at the worst it'll be nice to toss some big baits around.

Im partial to lowe boats, I have a FM165s its a great boat. I would throw a 101lb on the transom and forget the outboard. U can always toss a small hp on it for the bigger lakes. Ive got a 40hp 4 stroke and barely use it, the 80lb terrova Ipilot up front will do 4mph and run all day, electric only lakes are the best fishing anyway in NJ......good luck with it bro, I see the helen&rollies sticker on it already haha

Thanks man. Yeah, I got the Rollie's sticker on there already

, added a few more too since the pic. I'm sure I'll upgrade the electric and/or put an outboard at some point, but I'm more than happy with the way it is. The boat is very light, so unless it's crazy windy, the motor I have now is good. And you're right about the electric only lakes, out of the top 3 lakes I want to fish this year, all are electric only. Plus, I have two guys in the club that I'm good friends with. They're welcome to hop on with me for the smaller lakes and I'm sure I'll be fishing with them on the bigger ones. I'm so stoked. I have the pleasure of being able to leave work at lunch sometimes and not come back, so it'll be nice to be able to grab my boat and go look for some muskies in the afternoon.
