I have never gone to one of the big contests. Sounds like a good time.

I like the 20000 bucks for 1st prize. wouldn't mind winning one of the icecastles to.

Is it hard to catch a fish with all the people? Can my 10 yo son fish the contest.

Boomdog...it's a great event, and I'd say the kids have more fun than the adults. They've got a ton of giveaways, and every kid who registers even the smallest of fish won't go away empty handed. My kids did it when they were 10 and 11 and they had a blast. It's only a few hours long, too, so that's not an issue... Give it a shot !

Added a couple of sponsors to Fishapalooza that I wanted to mention.

Kline Motorsports in Maplewood is on board and I would like to thank them for helping us with the Polaris Sportsman 500's prizes.

Philips Distilling will once again be a sponsor. They will have a booth at the event and will be distributing little bottles of Ice Hole Schnapps and UV Vodka again. grin

I purchased online yesterday. Will the tickets be mailed to the house? Or do we just go to the check-in tent?

Also, never fished an ice tourney before. Do people actually get on the ice at 8 and sit on their hole of choice? We're coming for the fun of it, but it would be good to know anyway.

Your tickets will be mailed out next week to the address you entered on the HSOforum.

At the last contest, people were showing up at 5am before we had all the holes drilled. We ask that you wait until 7 or 8am before venturing into the contest area to pick your holes.

Have fun!

Thanks!

Went out and checked the ice this morning.

I measured anywhere from 14 to 17 inches of good clear ice that was topped with white ice ranging from 1 to 3 inches thick. grin

So to answer your question rushlakeboy.... The ice is looking great!

Hope to see you there!

Thanks,

Dan

      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.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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.
