9/10/2017 7:58:26 PMCenter east, it seemed almost everything under 24 ft of water was thick with weeds, so i tried as much as the wind would allow to follow the contours between 25 to 35 feet, even zig zagging up some of the steeper valleys and then working the sides of the humps. Managed one double hitting one of the humps so that was pretty cool

9/10/2017 7:46:50 PMIt really doesn't make much difference what kind of a boat you have when the wind howls on
Banks - guess one hangs in there until you get tired of it. Better to be the one on the shore sipping
a cool one when others are on the water fighting the wind - wife and I had the same/similar kind of day
last fall on Banks - hung in there until the trolling motor batteries ran out, then we went home. Thanks for
the report and the "hot spot" - will add that location to the places to try list when we're there staying at
steamboat in a week, for a week, weather permitting of course.

9/10/2017 8:01:27 PMIt was our first trip, but there will be more. I need to spend time learning the names of all the places. I read reports about the flats and the punch bowl, but had no idea where they were in relation to where we launched. And that toon is maxed at about 24 mph, so running anywhere takes awhile

9/14/2017 1:29:55 PMboat size actually does matter and sticking it out always pays off at banks some people should just tuck and run and maybe just stay on shore.
