Thats merkmans dads rig it works ok but no so ok in the slush and we did push it and dig it out a few times with out it being 4wd we would of not got anywhere even with the skis he has it still didnt go thru the snow as good as i though it would.

but it does add the floatation just enough to get you going and they are the same stop for awhile and everything freezes up.

I saw a video of a honda three wheeler with tracks in the back and the wheel up front and I think that I could build a skior skis for the front and tracks in the back and it would go really good over the snow cause its so light but I will hopefully have this by next year

merkman,

Nice meeting you this weekend...you guys end up with any more fish? Conditions are pretty discouraging up here, I'm afraid it will be this way for quite a while.

We managed a 30" and saw a few others...including a gimme shot at the biggest fish dad or I have ever seen while spearing. After she went by everything shut down...I'm hoping to battle her on hook and line so she can pose for a picture grin

Moved to a different lake today and had two in the first hour. Just the right size to get my first pickling experiment started.

I think i'm going to put my perm house where I was at today.

Did this happen to be the lake you were on last year. I was getting my gear together this morning to head out and got called into work for a emergency water main leak frown maybe this weekend I can finally make it out.

Same black taho, just picked up a new frabill porty. I found some other good looking spots that the maps don't show late ice and in the boat this spring.

Also my buddies kid was fishing a spot father east of town before ice and pounded the pike the caught 2 that were 40" and alot of 20 to 30" only problem is it's small and lots of current don't know the clarity either.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • 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?
