While you can't say the the action on Shagawa has been hot, it's far from disappointing. We've been out on the lake six times in the past two weeks, and have taken at least a couple of eatin' size eyes from fourteen to twenty-one inches on five of those six trips. Almost all of the bites occured between four and six p.m., and the new Lindy Slick Jigs or the old reliable Buckshot Rattling Spoons proved their worth. Some of those fish were caught on a dead stick as well, so there is the opportunity to catch fish no matter what tactics you prefer. There were other folks out there using tip-ups with some success too. It's definitely worth the effort.

I don't lie, and if you didn't catch any fish doesn't give you liscese to disrespect someone who does catch fish. If you were just sitting at Stinky Ditch and weren't catch anything maybe I'll give you a tip. Get off your butt and fish. Waiting for the fish to dicover your "magic" spot is an effort in futility. Move to where the fish are instead of waiting for them to come to you.

You must admit I'm right. Right?

Ha ha Bert! I laughed when I saw this. I hope you learned your lesson for making fun of yourself. Don't let it happen again wink The best part is you were secretly complimenting Capt. Russ for catching fish when you got skunked.

Welcome to the site. Don't let those without a sense of humor scare you away!

      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?

      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.
