Hi Ice45, welcome, and hope you enjoy HSO as much as I do. Make sure to check out Tips and Tricks post. I started it last year and have learned so much from all HSO members....unbelievable info on there.

bump on the tips and tricks page. I'm new to ice fishin and have learned a ton from that thread.

Welcome Ice smile

^^^ HA !

Thanks, I needed that.

anyways, opinions bounced off one another creates knowledge.

Hopefully one is smart enough to think critically and formulate their own opinions based on ideas, facts and opinions of others. There are some people that have sponsorships that certainly tell you why their products are worth getting, but people are pretty open with their biases. I for one have been able to ask all kinds of questions on here, the last couple years, many of them stupid, and am thankful for all the help and answers I have received. Thanks to everyone who posts smile

And yet.... you're still here reading the forums and posting on threads. But thanks for letting us know your OPINION.... but then again, "you're so smart and we're so wrong"..... and I'm sure you feel better about yourself now...

Welcome to the forums. There are tons of folks on here willing to help with just about anything you can imagine and not just outdoor related info. Spend some time finding your way around and feel free to post any questions. It is really a great site with tons of info. Like anything you have to take it for what its worth and filter it accordingly, but there is plenty of good info here.

Like posted above you will get some Ford vs Chevy or my dad can beat up your dad but it is really easy to filter through it. For say you are looking to buy a new flasher (a new post usually pops up weekly) and you want some advice to what to buy. Look through the responses and weed out the opinions and focus on the experience and facts. I for one have used other members experiences to the fullest and have made a lot of purchase decisions based solely on other members advice. This site is amazing and the knowledge others are willing to share has saved me hundreds and made me a much better sportsman.

To Ice45, and back to the original topic, That is some nice work you have there. As a fellow woodworker I appreciate the originality in the handle you made but more specifically in the workbench tool in the background. Very nice stuff! Keep up the good work and the great picture posts.

      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?
