Gave the rig her first 4 person test today. Didn't feel crowded at all, but will have to modify which rods I bring to optimize the longlining.

The fishing was on the slower side, but the quality was decent. Kept 13. The freezer is full and ready for a holiday fish fry.

It's been some time, but that launch looked familiar.....The "Hatch"" is possibly Lake Hatchineha ? Them Indian names get me every time too, just tell Slab it's Lake "Blackhawk"
- :Rofl Nice catch BTW. They also may call it "Land of the airboats", Believe there's a airboat club that meets out in them parts.
Yep Hatchineha, its my closest launch site to the Kissimmee chain. Was planning on driving the boat down to the big lake if the bite wasn't good, which it wasn't in quantity, but we kept getting good quality so stuck it out.
The airboats were out in full force, but they're usually flying over the pads on the perimeter. I only saw 3 other boats crappie fishing. I still want to head east on the chain to Cypress and give that a shot and need to spend some more time on the big lake.
Dang! Yall let the cat out the bag. Was waiting on Slab to hatch his boat!
I though he misspelled "CATCH"
Gewbers! Hatch this:

Nice job. Everyone looks happy.
All in the Hatch? Maybe Cypress or the Kiss? Beauties from anywhere.
All in the Hatch...actually only fished in a 1/4 mile section all day
How well do you know the Hatch? Last time I was there was with my Cuz. An area called the gourd neck or something neck???? We done alright but not as good as you.
I've done ok there, if my spot doesn't produce I don't have a plan B, would have to scout
looks like the ranger aluminum 178c? i just bought one myself and have to say i couldn't be happier with the space on that boat.. kissimee has been better at night for me than during the day. had some luck with pink /yellow tail jigs tipped with minners drifitin less than 1mph in 11ft of water west of brahma island... im going back the weekend after new years witha few buddies to try it again..
