I had been looking for a 1648 Jon for three years with no success short of biting off a payment on a new one. I work for Waste Pro and while at the landfill I came across a gent throwing this one out. When I inquired about it he offered it to me for the taking, along with the trailer. Everyone that knows me understands that I’m a little outside the box but I do strongly believe in our creator and the way he works in our lives. He chooses the way to give you the information needed for us to be taken care of, but you have to listen. I took this event as his way of telling me that I had no further place in either a canoe or a kayak, and I thank Him for it regularly. It isn’t high sided but much safer than either of the other choices that were on my mind. It’s to our advantage to listen when spoken to.
Well there are a few people with some years on them that fish that lake regularly from kayaks.
Im glad your enjoying your Jon boat. Mines a 1442 that suits me just fine for what i like to do.
Havent used the 17’ Key West in more than 2 years now since buying the Jon.
Took me a few weeks longer than i had hoped, but on Friday i did break the 500 mark since i started counting on Jan. 8th.
All single poling the weed edges very slowly, or just dropping the jig into a hole.
Ive tried trolling but all i catch is those pesky Bass. lol
But ive yanked a few nice ones out of the weeds also.
Im convinced those fish live there year round.
Where else can they go when the whole lake is shallow?
