Lardy - we spear on third river twice a year. We go out of Dixon Lake Resort. He sets us up with darkhouses and we stay in Wildlife Refuge (cabin), very nice. He takes care of spear fisherman. Nice houses and decent resort.

Normally we go up second week of January and again first part of February. We see quite a few fish and also enjoy angling for perch in the spear holes. Kind of fun.

Hope this helps.

There are other groups that drive on with their wheelhouses where Todd at Dixon has his spearhouses. You could go either way. It's $40 a day for a spear house. He's got them lit and ready for you in the morning. Just jump in a house and drop your decoy. He's got propane stoves vs. alot of resorts that run wood which is a pain in my eyes. Just talking about it has got me fired up to get out. January can't come quick enough.....

      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?
