Hi everyone! I went fishing both Saturday and Sunday! I almost got skunked on Saturday though. I did end up with one perch. Jim did very well with 5 walleyes with 2 being 27". It was super windy and I had problems with bite detection. frown

Today was a little slower but it was a beautiful day to be on the water. We could only spend a couple of hours out there though. I caught the only walleye (22"). It was one of those great zinger bites when it pulls the line right off your finger and then takes a fast run. Very fun! We had a ton of loons all around us and a couple eagles too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jackie!!! Hope your day's been awesome too!

It was great Jackie! It's a little bittersweet to be up at the cabin now though! We just put it on the market and have had a couple look at it already. It's all painted up, constantly clean and now we aren't enjoying it like we should.

I am so glad you finally got out. I don't know how you managed to fish on Saturday, brutal winds again. I did the Deer River Parade yesterday, so proud of myself walked the whole route. Then I sat by the stage waiting to see Doug Kershaw, stiffened up. Had to keep getting up to move around. I first saw the "Ragin Cajun" at the taste of Minnesota and it must have been 25 years ago, man is he old! Man, am I old!!!

It was good to get back on the water and leave it all behind for a couple days.

Barb, good to hear you had a good time at the Wild Rice Days. We've only gone once many years ago so my boy could go on the rides. It's a pretty big deal up there!

Glenn, I am positive we'll still fish up there. We'll just have to camp which sounds pretty fun too!

I'm actually pretty jealous of Hope since her whole family seems to own/maintain a family cabin. That sounds awesome!

Sandmann, again, congrats on adopting that daughter of yours.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

      I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
