hey sam

Glad you liked it. I had this one designed and installed by a co. here in JACKSON,MS. Image One Studios is the name- http://www.imageonestudios.com-601-3540997. The total cost was approx, $3000. Easy to keep clean, I have found numerous potential scratches that did not get to gel coat, only the wrap. Ive seen 2 other boats that had wraps and they looked new when the wrap came off and were subjected to lots of wear and tear. If I wver get a new boat I would definitely consider doing it again. A friend of mine put a bumper sticker on my Suburban that said- WHY BE NORMAL- and that pretty much sums up my peronality. Also if you are advertising for your own co. it is a write off for the ad. Hope this helps, SAM PS – the scratches would have cost at least half that cost to fix.BAYOU BANDIT

Sonny1, how many people will be in the tourn.? Are you taking off from the Columbus city ramp or the marina? That will help in giving directions.BAYOU BANDIT

Sonny1, as you are standing on the ramp,look straight across and you wlll see some trees, on the other side of the trees are the gravel pits. You will have to go to the right and go around the last island, then you can run in the pits. There will be a lot of grass or standing plants with leaves. Practice on this grass line with junebug lizards, baby brush hogs or worms. Also spinnerbaits and shallow Bandits. You will have a lot of that kind of water over there. As you go through the pits , out to the left youll see some islands, fish around those also. A Spro frog worked like Dean Rojas might work also in the grass. Lot of pockets back there also. When standing on the ramp, to your right that bank is good early, because they release fish in that area .Also at the ramp you will see the handicap pier, the deep channel runs un front and is good first thing if you can get there first. You can pitch jig or brush hawg on that bank, there should be grass all along that bank. As you leave the ramp and follow the markers to the river take the right shute, as you approach the river that immediate point on the left runs out towards the river and has a good ledge that you can crank and carolina rig and catch a limit some times , especially if they open the locks and draw current.You can run up the river and you will see points on the river car. rig or crank these. Also alot of deep pockets up there to try, above the bridge. Normally the locks start at 6am and every 2 hrs after that. If you lock down then be prepared to lock back at noon, too be safe. If you lock down you can run to the first big cut on right, that is Pratts,run it to the back and flip trees and grass.If you go all the way to Pickensville down, go left into Rivermont, you will see some homes back there and some standing timber. Inside the standing timber it will get deeper as that is an old slew. That area is good for pitcing and cranking as well as spinner baits. All around that area you will see lots of shallow grass, can be good with frog or flukes. There are a number of place on that end that you can go into, be careful for shallow areas and dont get stuck. Thats about it my friend, good luck, SAMLast edited by SAMRUSH on August 27th, 2008, 4:14 am, edited 1 time in total.BAYOU BANDIT

As far as I know, there arent any lake maps , at least weve never found one in 20 yrs. Your GPS system will not show also, most of this is due to military base in Columbus. You might find a small map in the area with no details, you might check at local sport shops or contact Corp of Engineers.BAYOU BANDIT

Aerial images from Yahoo, Map Quest or Google do help some?
