ill take a pic of the harnesses I make and the set up with the sucker sideways, tomorrow I should get out n do some spearing so maybe monday I can get some pics up

We all know you really don't spear your wife get's all the fish and you get your picture taken with them. It was nice meeting you the last couple days and my daughter liked you guys so you cant be that bad shocked. Thank you again for the harnesses and I will get some pic's up when I get some more snakes if I am not to busy yelling at them to stay away from my sucker or yelling at them to drop it and jigging my decoy into their head trying to defend my sucker.

you entertained heidi n I with your yells, it was alot of fun meeting you you and trying to get you to use live harnesses smile Or the pin style I made may work ok but live is the way to go! Your daughter was very cute and a enjoyable experience to see, especially when she was picking out the tip up holes!

Yet again my harness kept my sucker deak in the hole and had no issues but I guess thats what happens when you use my stuff hahaha smile

I tie a 1 lb. weight on the end of a line that is on a reel, about 3 or 4 ft. Up from the weight is a 3 way sw. Tie on about 2 feet of line to the sw, the other end of the line tie the sucker harness. Keep the line from the reel to the weight tight, the sucker can now swim up two ft or down two ft and in a two foot circle. You can leave a little slack in the line for more circle movement. You can drop the weight, sucker attached off too one side of the hole if you want to run a decoy too.

    • 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?
