Dear Board,
This isn't a FF specific post.
I recently purchased a new to me used boat and my fiancee and I enjoy putting around and catching whatever bites. We've fished Memorial Lake and Sweet Arrow Lake several times but we are looking to broaden our horizons and fish other lakes in the mid-State.
I'm asking if people can give me some pointers on Pichot Lake? No spot specific answers are required. Mostly I'm wondering about the condition of the boat ramps and how difficult it might be to launch and recover a 16' V-hulled boat?
I know I can only run my trolling motor at Pinchot and I know it has a reputation for heavy weed growth. Knowing that, I'd appreciate any local knowledge about the better ramps to use to avoid heavy weeds, and/or heavy crowds?
In addition, if anyone wants to suggest an alternate lake I'm all ears. I'd be heading to Pinchot on a Saturday, if that matters? I'd be willing to open my boat for a trip by a "local guide" on a Sunday at Pinchot or anywhere else located within a reasonable drive if you'd be interested?
I've attached a picture of my boat so that you can see what I need to launch and recover and what you can fish out of if you'd like.
I give up, I'll email you a picture of the boat if you want. This is hardest place on Earth to post a picture.
Regards,
Tim Murphy
