Hey terminal- Leaving for Nipigon Monday morning. Staying w/ and fishing w/ a buddies uncle. We will target lakers and northern mostly. We'll be there a week so we'll need to put in a day for Brookies. Is there anything you think you could tell us to find one brookie. What can you tell a rookie, that may produce. Hope the bite is on when we get there.

20hrs till were on the road! Can any one throw me a bone here?? Would love to hook into a brookie up there, thinkin' rapala, rapala, rapala, and a worm or 2. Should probably have some spinners handy too. Anything special I should look for or target? 1 twenty inche brooky would make this whole trip worth it. Wouldn't be bad to find a 25lb northern or 50lb laker either; but we'll start there.

We are headed up to Nipigon tomorrow. Usually we spend our time targeting specks but this year we thought we would try for lakers. Just wondering where we might find the lakers this time of year(shallower or deeper; on bottom or suspended)? We will be all over the lake running from the south shore to the north end. Also, would you use spoons or stick baits and rapalas this time of year?

Also, does anyone know what the current water temps are?

Thanks much.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.

      I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage.  Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.   Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
