Have an older bass boat, never use it. The best fish I‘ve caught on this lake is right off my docks.Have a boat launch as well. I’m an early bird I fish just before the sun comes up for 1/2-3/4 hr. and then when the sun goes down, again short time, takes little away from shooting.
I prefer a manageable paddleboat, if I want to cruise the shoreline with Stella. Only use top water lures, no live bait, catch and release. Not a great fisherman, but enjoy the challenge, and love the dance. Crow

I fished from the front of my bass boat with one foot on the trolling motor pedal. I primarily used black and blue tail worms or spoons with pork rind. I hand picked my rods for extreme sensitivity so I could feel the structure.
I'd fish nights, with bait for all kinds of fish. I would tie or anchor, and fish multiple rods.
It got to be lonely out there. One night I dosed off, when woke I was surrounded by alligators.
So, I was done.
I always had my Sheridan with me. When I would get bored I would shoot strait up and wait to see how close it would land.

It’s my first springer. So still practicing. But I put 16 shots in a row, in a 1/2 spot at 15 yards last night.

Are you shooting round ball or shot out of the 1100? I need to drag mine out again and shoot it some!

I cleaned the barrel when I got it. Adjusted the trigger. Been practicing since. Loose grip with the forward hand is the biggest tip I can tell you at this point.I just started my second tin on my new one. Its still dieseling a little. Its a little different experiece with a learning curve.
I want to polish the barrel and touch up the crown a little. May take apart the trigger to polish it as well.
For 200.00 shipped. I got the gun with scope. Very nice for the money.

Had the pleasure to shoot a HW95 .20. Man o man, this gun drips sweetness. 
My last rifle to join the family, a HW80 .22, “Blackie”. Really happy with this one. Crow

I’m liking them. Nice tight groups with an authoritative WACK when it hits the target.
I did clean and lubed them.

Took 2 rifles out. Only shot one. HW90 .20. King of the Weihrauchs, couldn’t stop shoot the 90. 
Such a rewarding gun, right from the sounds of jacking it to its accuracy. Love the weather, despise the bugs. Crow
