I bought a 07 195cc with a yami 115 friend told me about this site and figured id check it out.
 
Congrats Hogan. Love the 195CC. Almost bought that instead of the DC this spring. Hopefully we'll start to get a good stretch of weather up here and we can do some day trips. Happy Boating.

I love the boat..Thing is just right for me and the wife to go out fishing or just float away somewhere...I knew the moment I saw it and the info on the boats it was the right boat for me...Its only the 3rd boat Ive owned the other two were rear tiller boats so this is quite the upgrade for me..Only took me forever to pull the trigger and buy one lol
 
Congratulations and welcome to Performanceoutdoors.net! ;)
 
Hogan, you're going to have a ball on it!! As Ron says, if we ever get a stretch of good weather up here, you'll really appreciate the upgrade you've made in your boating experience. :D

I bought a 195cc this spring and just turned over 65 hours. We use it here in NE Ohio on Lake Erie mostly for Walleye fishing. Absolutely love it. Great for when the lake kicks up fast. We have been in 4-5 foot chop which is very common for Lake Erie.

I'm a little east of Cleveland, Ohio. in Mentor. I dock in Mentor Lagoons.
I'm doing a little research to see how far appart we are. Would you be interested in meeting half way sometime when lake conditions permit.
Do you have GPS? I would think it would be pretty easy to pick some coordinates and set a meeting time. My initial guess is we are about 70 miles appart.

Tom,
I used Google Earth, incredible sight, and found I am 62 miles from Pelee Point. My Lat/Lon coordinates are 41deg 43min N, 81deg 21min W.

Hogan, Ron and Mainah:

What part of the state do you boat in? I am in Aroostook County and trailer all over the state.

Braley,

I'm about 177 miles south of you in Gardiner and the boat is ten miles further south on the Kennebec in Richmond. Let me know when you're headed this way!;)

Dick:

I will let you know when I head to the Kennebec. Hope to fish the mouth of the river and the beaches for stripers frequently in August. When I had my 190 we put in at Gardiner and went down stream to Popham Beach and also cruised the sasanoa. Great day on the water.
 
It's a great place to have a boat because of the choices you describe and more, river, bays and open water. We go around SW into Casco Bay and NE to Rockland or so in the 186. The Sasanoa and Lower H*ll Gate nearly got us a couple weeks ago. We've yet to take up striper fishing though.
 
I'm smack dab between you guys here in Hampden. I've trailered to Square, Eagle, & Long up near you Braley (and also used to fish Pleasant up in Island Falls quite a bit). I go up to Moosehead at least once a year with my boat (and to the East Outlet without my boat to fly fish). I also have made several trips to Sabego when I get "ice out fever".

Normally I fish at Beech Hill Pond, since that's where I'll be building my home next year. I also spend a lot of time down the Penobscot river between Bangor and Bucksport, the striper fishing is just fair.

I promised my buddy that we'd take a trip in the new 195DC down on the Kennebec or somewhere near Damriscotta for some stripers in a week or two. Since It looks like you know the area down there well, Mainah, any suggestions?
 
Hey Ron,

I do know the area but I'm a very novice striper fisherman who hasn't had much of a chance to wet a line this year. From what I hear the stripers are still around in decent numbers but have moved a little further offshore making surfcasting success more difficult. There's still a lot of activity on the Kennebec from North Bath off Thorne's Head and Lines Island all the way past the mouth!

Certainly your chances will increase as you come further south on the coast!
