First, I want to thank all of you coconuts that went on this trip ;D... the fishing was amazing, the food was awesome and the weather was wild :P Congrats to Karl for having one heck of a trip and a special thanks to Unoman, Flaggs, Frozen Shiner, Butchy 54, Jigger, Got Pike and Indian Hill Mike DeVillers and his brother Kurt for a great time. The pictures tell the story - enjoy :tipup:
Triples were not uncommon :o

Don - The flags are nice but are really hard to see at a distance. They were perfect at twilight or under cloudy conditions. I think red is overall the best color IMHO. Thanks.
-
I have the red flags and like them....however, the green is also great when you are viewing your tilts against a tree filled shoreline where a darker flag such as red or black blend in to the background...especiall y from a distance....
