Dude awesome, if you ever get a chance go to Erie PM me for spots(one spot always produces july-oct) if you'd like. Erie is similar with smallies jumping out of the water during the fight, all are huge one day we got well over 15 average size being 6#s+, just crazy. one word coffee goby colored tubes.
I usually launch from sibbald park, not sure if its open yet also I know they where redoing the launch over the winter so don't know if that is even done either, I'm thinking of doing that area for perch too in next wknd. There might be more launches I'd have to research it again.
I would do some more research on tracker before purchasing, lund is a well known product I'm sure they have their share of issues however I seem to see read about more issues with tracker products. My next boat will be a lund but will most likely buy it in the states if the dollar is still or close to par.
