My dad use to fish it several years ago and did very well on crappies in the winter, but it got fished out about 10 years ago. Come to think of it, I should probably try it again one of these days since it's had plenty of time to rebound

hey fish, we have seen turkeys up by us, in the squaw lake area. they have more issues with vehicles than the weather. as far as that lake your talkin about, in my biased opinion just cuase you fish them deeper in summer doesnt mean they wont be in 6-10ft in hardwater. they cruise the weeds for lunch. and i definitly hear ya about both not gettin up there enough and the family thing. my kids are all grown can go as i please. my wife likes to go to but needs to for more than a weekend, says to far to drive for a day and a half. i disagree so she lets me go whenever i get the urge.

My wife's real understanding and let's me go as much as possible. Actually, this weekend she did some bass fishing with me and I was so busy unhooking her fish that I hardly got any time in fishing!

I've tried the lake shallow and the fish just aren't there. I know most lakes do have pike in shallower water all winter, just not this one. I actually came on the deep pike by accident. I got a bunch of pike in open water in the early spring so tried in the typical spots and got nothing, tried out deeper for some pannies and kept getting bit off so I set up some tipups

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • 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?
