First fishing trip with new boat

 Took the new boat out for its first fishing trip.  We learned a few things with this adventure.  First we learned we can't get the boat to troll at pop gear speed.  Second we learned it is extremely comfortable and nice to be able to move around without fear of capsizing.  We fished the evening away and learned the third thing that the lights don't work or we didn't know the trick to them.  The previous owner said they work, will have to look into that deeper.  Getting the trolling motor mounted is paramount in importance if we are to troll with pop gear again.  Parker and I spent the evening learning the tricks of the boat and just relaxed.  We actually hooked up a few fish but landing them became the issue they were quick releasing on us with nice jumps and dives.
