Wow, finally after nothing but northerns, 4-3-1 pounders all of January, 2-1-11 at 7:00 pm the eyes came in, 4-1/2, 3, 2 1/2 pounders, all in 1 hour, then quit. I'am in 21 feet of water, fishing 10" off of bottom with fat heads. I'am out from Mahtomedi beach, don't get on there, very bad access, I go to ramsey beach, drive across. Hope rest of month more is like last nite, best of luck to all.

white bear has been coughing them up for a while now, there is just no size to most of the walleyes. It is a bummer you posted this but I also want to see if or how much of the city out of belle aire comes over to mohtomedi now, you could have spelt the end to a good bite, but who knows, it's still being discussed on another thread: do the postings on here dictate where people fish, I guess this is a perfect situation to find out, i'll sit back and watch.

Welcome to FM/HSO, Dennym100. Happy to hear someone who put some effort into catching some fish here in the metro got some results, and isn't afraid to talk about it. Sorry that this is the type of welcome you are getting. Ignore the haters, and fish on!

    • 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?
    • 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.
    • Sketti...  not out of a jar either!
    • Lol yeah I watched that
    • I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage.  Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.   Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
