The Crappie Cruiser


Monday my husband and his fishing buddy drove up to Chicago to look at a boat for sale. They spent the night, because they got a late start and it's a 4-hour drive one way. They came home yesterday afternoon towing this great little pontoon boat. It's a 2008 Bass Buggy --- but we're renaming it the "Crappie Cruiser", since the guys are big on fishing crappie and belong to a crappie club.  For those who may not know, crappie (pronounced "CrawPee") are delicious, little, freshwater panfish that are lots of fun to catch.


I just can't wait to get out on a lake with this really awesome boat.  It's big enough for our dog, Beary, to go fishing with us. He'll love that! Also, we could camp out on it if we wanted to. Oh, this is going to be a fun spring, summer and fall!

  2. Oh, I'm so excited, Kathy! I love to fish and just cruise around taking pictures. My husband is impressed with the trolling motor, the fish-finder, the Bimini Top and the live well for his fish --- but my favorite feature is the Rubber Duckie mounted to the driver's console!
