Great Day in the Potholes

Fished a club tourney... We decided to take the jet boat to get back to where all the fish were... turns out that the use of fish were was the past tense meaning haha... we have stories to tell... not of catching though... ended up getting stuck and had to have the airboat tow us out.. thanks Levi.

If any of you know Mike Browne... pictured below you will have to give him a hard time

We got stuck too, but luckily no air boat needed. Treacherous out there this time of year.

I think someone mentioned it but it is gone now so I would recommend you get a hold of Mark Olmsted. I know he had a couple of those mudboats at his house when I was there but I am not sure if he sells them or not.
Either way I am sure he could give you some good info about them.

If you are really in the market for a mudbuddy motor on a gator trax boat or an Excel boat I have a good friend who is one of the few dealers in WA state let me know. Mark Olmsted is another good contact on these type of setups. We have some pretty wild pictures of a mud boat trip on Potholes last September.

Did I mention the fishing sucked back there anyways...haha... Ya I know both those crazy guys. If a guy was really serious about it the airboats are the best way to go. They travell over land. But there is only 2 months or so when you need one.

Air boats rock No doubt I know, but if you can't afford to run an beastly gas sucking airboat and you want to run skinny check out this site and see what mud boats are all about.
